Value Collection 4RSB1/2*1/4 Pipe Reducer 1/2 X 1/4 in

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 4RSB1/2*1/4 is a threaded pipe reducer fitting designed to transition pipe lines from a 1/2-inch female NPT inlet to a 1/4-inch female NPT outlet. Constructed from 304 stainless steel with a Schedule 40 wall rating, this reducer is built for durability in corrosive or high-moisture environments. It carries a 150 psi pressure rating, making it suitable for low-to-medium pressure plumbing, pneumatic, and process piping applications. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this type of fitting when downsizing pipe runs within a distribution system.

This reducer fitting is used in residential and light commercial plumbing systems, as well as industrial process lines where a pipe size reduction is needed at a threaded connection point. The FNPT x FNPT thread configuration allows direct installation into female-threaded pipe ends or fittings without additional adapters. Typical applications include water supply lines, compressed air distribution, and chemical-resistant piping assemblies where stainless steel is specified.

Key Features

• Transitions from 1/2-inch FNPT to 1/4-inch FNPT in a single fitting
• 304 stainless steel construction resists corrosion in wet and chemical environments
• Schedule 40 wall thickness for structural integrity under load
• 150 psi pressure rating suitable for low-to-medium pressure systems
• Threaded connection type for tool-based installation without welding

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-install threaded reducer fitting for 1/2-inch to 1/4-inch FNPT pipe connections in standard Schedule 40 plumbing and process piping systems.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter using standard pipe wrenches and thread sealant tape or compound rated for the service fluid. Shut off and depressurize the supply line completely before removing the existing fitting or making new connections. Do not overtighten threaded stainless fittings, as galling can occur on stainless-to-stainless thread joints. Follow applicable IPC and local plumbing codes for thread engagement and sealant requirements.
