Value Collection 6RSB1/2*1/4 Pipe Reducer 1/2x1/4 316 Ss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 6RSB1/2*1/4 is a threaded pipe reducer fitting designed to transition a 1/2-inch female NPT pipe connection down to a 1/4-inch female NPT connection. Constructed from 316 stainless steel, it offers strong resistance to corrosion in harsh or wet environments. Rated to 150 psi at Schedule 40, this fitting handles typical low-to-medium pressure service in plumbing, HVAC, and light industrial piping systems. It ships as a single piece and is intended for installation by licensed plumbers, pipefitters, or HVAC technicians working on threaded pipe assemblies.

This reducer fitting is suited for residential and commercial applications where pipe diameter must be stepped down within a threaded system. Common install scenarios include branch line reductions, instrument connections, and utility piping where a 1/2-inch run must terminate or feed into 1/4-inch threaded components. The FNPT x FNPT end configuration allows direct threaded engagement on both ends without additional adapters. Its 316 stainless steel construction makes it appropriate for corrosive fluid service, marine environments, and food-grade or chemical piping where 304 stainless may not be sufficient.

Key Features

• 316 stainless steel construction provides superior corrosion resistance compared to 304 grade
• FNPT x FNPT threaded ends for straightforward wrench installation into standard NPT fittings
• 150 psi pressure rating at Schedule 40 for general service applications
• Reduces 1/2-inch pipe to 1/4-inch pipe in a single fitting
• Compact form factor suitable for tight-space installations

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for threaded Schedule 40 pipe systems using standard NPT connections in 1/2-inch and 1/4-inch sizes.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable IPC or IFGC codes. Apply appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to all male NPT threads before engagement. Hand-tighten first, then use a pipe wrench to bring the fitting to proper thread engagement without overtightening, which can crack stainless fittings. Depressurize and drain the line completely before removing or installing any threaded fitting.
