Value Collection 6RSB1/4*1/8 Pipe Reducer 316 Ss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 6RSB1/4*1/8 is a threaded pipe reducer fitting designed to transition pipe connections from a 1/4-inch female NPT port down to a 1/8-inch female NPT port. Constructed from 316 stainless steel, this fitting offers solid corrosion resistance in demanding fluid and gas piping systems. It carries a pressure rating of 150 psi and is built to Schedule 40 specifications. This type of reducer is commonly installed by licensed plumbers and pipefitters working on process, instrumentation, or utility piping where reducing thread sizes between components is required.

This fitting is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing, instrumentation lines, chemical processing, and HVAC ancillary piping where a reduction from 1/4-inch to 1/8-inch female NPT threading is needed. The 316 stainless steel construction makes it appropriate for mildly corrosive media, salt-spray environments, and sanitary-adjacent applications where 304 SS would be marginal. Install scenarios typically include gauge ports, sensor taps, and small-diameter branch connections in compressed air, water, or compatible fluid systems.

Key Features

• 316 stainless steel construction for improved corrosion resistance over standard 304 grade
• FNPT x FNPT end connections accept standard tapered pipe threads on both ends
• 150 psi pressure rating suitable for low-to-medium pressure service
• Schedule 40 wall thickness for reliable structural integrity at rated pressure
• Compact reducer profile for tight-space installations at gauge or sensor ports

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style threaded reducer for use in standard 1/4-inch to 1/8-inch FNPT pipe systems rated at 150 psi or below.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or qualified pipefitter. Depressurize and isolate the piping system fully before removing or installing any threaded fittings. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male threads mating into this fitting, following the pipe system fluid compatibility requirements. Consult applicable IPC or IFGC code sections for thread engagement minimums and approved sealant types for the specific media being conveyed.
