Value Collection 6RSB3/8*1/4 Pipe Reducer 316 Ss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 6RSB3/8*1/4 is a threaded pipe reducer fitting designed to connect a 3/8-inch female NPT line to a 1/4-inch female NPT line. Constructed from 316 stainless steel, it offers strong resistance to corrosion in demanding environments including chemical exposure, moisture, and moderate heat. Rated to 150 psi at Schedule 40, this fitting is suited for low-to-moderate pressure piping systems handled by licensed plumbers and pipefitters across industrial, commercial, and trade service applications.

This reducer fitting is used wherever a piping run requires a step-down transition from a 3/8-inch to a 1/4-inch female threaded connection. Common install scenarios include compressed air distribution lines, water supply branches, hydraulic service piping, and instrumentation lines where stainless steel material compatibility is required. Both end connections are FNPT, making this a female-to-female threaded reducer intended for use with male-threaded nipples or adapters on both ends.

Key Features

• 316 stainless steel construction provides corrosion resistance in wet, chemical, and marine-adjacent environments
• FNPT x FNPT end connections accept standard male NPT threads on both sides
• 150 psi pressure rating at Schedule 40 for low-to-moderate pressure service
• 3/8-inch to 1/4-inch step-down reduces line size without additional fittings or adapters
• Threaded connection type allows tool-based installation without welding or soldering

Compatibility

Designed as a standard FNPT threaded pipe reducer compatible with 3/8-inch and 1/4-inch male NPT-threaded pipe, nipples, and fittings in Schedule 40 piping systems.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter using a pipe wrench and appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape applied to the male NPT threads being engaged. Shut off and depressurize the system completely before removing or installing any threaded fittings. Do not overtighten, as stainless steel threads can gall under excessive torque. Verify system pressure does not exceed the 150 psi rating after returning the line to service.
