Value Collection B240 10X8 Black Reducing Coupling 3/8x1/4

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION B240 10X8 is a black malleable iron reducing coupling designed to connect threaded pipe runs where a 3/8-inch line transitions down to a 1/4-inch line. Rated at Class 150 with a liquid and gas pressure rating of 300 psi, this fitting handles both compressed air and gas distribution applications in commercial and light industrial environments. The black finish is standard for gas-line fittings and provides basic surface protection. Licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and HVAC technicians install this fitting as part of threaded iron pipe assemblies, particularly in natural gas, propane, and low-pressure compressed air systems.

This reducing coupling is suited for residential and light commercial gas piping, compressed air distribution, and similar threaded iron pipe applications. The 3/8-inch female inlet reduces to a 1/4-inch female outlet, making it a direct solution for downsizing pipe diameter within a run without additional adapters. Its compact size and standard threading make it a common stock item for service trucks and mechanical rooms.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable local codes, IFGC requirements for gas piping, or ASME B31.1 for compressed air and steam systems. Shut off and depressurize the line fully before removing or installing any threaded fitting. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape rated for the service media to all male threads before assembly. Do not over-tighten; use a pipe wrench with a backup wrench on the adjoining fitting to avoid stressing the pipe run.
