Value Collection B-RCP0302 Reducing Coupling 3/8x1/4

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION B-RCP0302 is a black malleable iron reducing coupling used to connect pipe runs of different diameters in threaded piping systems. Built to Class 150 standards with a pressure rating of 300 psi, this fitting handles both liquid and gas service in a wide range of plumbing, HVAC, and light industrial applications. The black finish is standard for gas piping and non-corrosive interior installations. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this type of fitting when a line size change is required between two threaded pipe segments, making it a common stock item in residential and light commercial mechanical rooms.

This reducing coupling is suited for threaded piping systems in residential and commercial settings where a 3/8-inch to 1/4-inch reduction is needed. Typical applications include gas distribution lines, compressed air systems, water supply piping, and hydronic heating runs. Its malleable iron construction gives it the toughness required in mechanical rooms and utility spaces where fittings are subject to wrenching loads and moderate temperature swings.

Key Features

• Malleable iron construction for strength and wrench-tightening durability
• Black finish suitable for gas piping applications
• Class 150 rated with 300 psi liquid and gas pressure rating
• Threaded end connections for standard NPT pipe assembly
• Reduces from 3/8-inch to 1/4-inch pipe size in a single fitting

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style threaded replacement fitting for malleable iron Class 150 piping systems using standard NPT threads in 3/8-inch and 1/4-inch pipe sizes.

Installation Notes

Install and remove threaded fittings with a pipe wrench; use appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape on all male threads before assembly. Shut off and depressurize the gas or fluid supply before disassembling any portion of the piping system. Gas line work must comply with local codes and applicable IFGC requirements, and may require a licensed plumber or gas fitter depending on jurisdiction. Inspect threads for damage before assembly to ensure a leak-free joint.
