Value Collection B240 10X6 Black Reducing Coupling 3/8x1/8

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION B240 10X6 is a black malleable iron reducing coupling designed for threaded pipe connections in low- to medium-pressure gas and liquid distribution systems. It steps down a 3/8-inch pipe thread to a 1/8-inch pipe thread using a standard threaded end connection on both sides. Rated to 300 psi, this Class 150 fitting carries a black finish and meets a broad set of international and domestic standards. It is typically installed by licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and HVAC technicians during system assembly or modification work.

This reducing coupling is suited for residential and light commercial applications where pipe diameter must be reduced inline without welding or soldering. Common install scenarios include gas branch line reduction, compressed air distribution, and general fluid piping where a 3/8-inch to 1/8-inch step-down is required. The threaded connection style is compatible with standard NPT pipe configurations. Sold individually, it is well-suited for single-fitting replacement or small repair jobs.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable local plumbing and mechanical codes. Shut off and depressurize the supply line completely before removing or installing any threaded fitting. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male threads before assembly, and tighten to a snug, leak-free connection using the correct pipe wrenches. Do not overtighten malleable iron fittings, as the material can crack under excessive torque.
