Value Collection B-RCP0201 Reducing Coupling 1/4x1/8

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION B-RCP0201 is a black malleable iron reducing coupling designed to connect two threaded pipe segments of different diameters in a single inline fitting. Rated Class 150 with a 300 psi liquid and gas pressure rating, this coupling transitions from a 1/4-inch to a 1/8-inch threaded end connection. The black finish is standard for malleable iron pipe fittings used in gas distribution, compressed air, and similar low-pressure piping systems. Licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and HVAC technicians routinely install this type of fitting when reducing line size at a branch point or equipment connection.

This reducing coupling is suited for residential and light commercial applications including natural gas, propane, compressed air, and steam piping where NPT threaded connections are required. The 1/4 x 1/8-inch size makes it a common selection for connecting smaller instrumentation ports, pilot gas lines, or branch takeoffs to a main distribution line. The malleable iron construction provides reliable performance in both indoor and outdoor installations where the fitting will not be exposed to corrosive media incompatible with ferrous pipe fittings.

Key Features

• Malleable iron construction with black finish for durability in gas and air piping systems
• Class 150 rated with 300 psi liquid and gas pressure rating
• Threaded end connections on both ends for standard NPT pipe assembly
• Reduces from 1/4-inch to 1/8-inch for inline diameter transitions
• Compact inline fitting eliminates the need for additional bushings or adapters

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-install fitting for standard NPT threaded malleable iron pipe systems rated at Class 150.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable local codes and IFGC requirements for gas piping or applicable mechanical codes for compressed air systems. Shut off and depressurize the line completely before removing or installing any threaded fitting. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape rated for the media being conveyed before making up the connection. Inspect threads on mating pipe and fittings for damage before assembly to ensure a leak-free joint.
