Constructed from 304 stainless steel, this fitting offers solid corrosion resistance suitable for a wide range of fluid and gas piping applications. It carries a pressure rating of 150 psi and is built to Schedule 40 specifications, making it a reliable choice for standard commercial and light industrial piping systems. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters are the primary installers for this type of fitting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis reducer is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing, HVAC condensate lines, compressed air systems, and general fluid transfer applications where a reduction from 1\/2-inch to 3\/8-inch pipe diameter is required. The FNPT x FNPT connection type means both the inlet and outlet accept male-threaded pipe ends, keeping installation straightforward in standard threaded piping configurations. It is appropriate for use with water, air, and compatible process fluids within the rated pressure limits.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e304 stainless steel construction provides corrosion resistance in wet and humid environments\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFNPT x FNPT end connections on both sides for standard threaded pipe assembly\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e150 psi pressure rating suitable for typical plumbing and light industrial service\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSchedule 40 wall thickness for reliable strength in standard piping systems\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eReduces from 1\/2-inch to 3\/8-inch pipe size in a single compact fitting\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement or standard-service fitting for threaded Schedule 40 piping systems requiring a 1\/2-inch to 3\/8-inch FNPT-to-FNPT reducer transition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable IPC or local plumbing code requirements. Shut off and depressurize the line completely before removing any existing fittings or making new connections. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male threads before engagement, and tighten to hand-tight plus the number of turns specified by the sealant manufacturer — do not overtighten stainless steel fittings. Inspect the joint for leaks after restoring pressure to service.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFitting Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Reducer\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFitting Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/2 x 3\/8 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: 304 Stainless Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConnection Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Threaded\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEnd Connection\u003c\/strong\u003e: FNPT x FNPT\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePressure Rating\u003c\/strong\u003e: 150 psi\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSchedule\u003c\/strong\u003e: 40\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.01 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: VALUE COLLECTION\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 4RSB1\/2*3\/8\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"VALUE COLLECTION","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51690169041202,"sku":"4RSB1\/2*3\/8","price":19.23,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/aa74d62ba21b244b29dc9f8929e54f14.jpg?v=1788266912","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/value-collection-4rsb1-2-3-8-pipe-reducer-1-2-x-3-8-in-304-ss","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
