Value Collection B240 15X6 Black Reducing Coupling 1/2x1/8

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION B240 15X6 is a black reducing coupling designed to connect threaded pipe of two different diameters in a single inline fitting. Made from malleable iron with a black finish, it reduces from a 1/2-inch female thread to a 1/8-inch female thread. Rated at 300 psi for liquid and gas service, it meets Class 150 pressure classification. This fitting carries multiple certifications including cULus Listed and FM Approved, making it suitable for regulated piping installations. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this type of fitting in both gas and liquid distribution systems across residential and light commercial applications.

This reducing coupling is used in threaded pipe assemblies where a transition from 1/2-inch to 1/8-inch pipe is required. Typical applications include natural gas supply lines, compressed air distribution, and water service piping. The black finish distinguishes it from galvanized fittings commonly used in potable water service, and it is well suited for gas piping and non-potable systems where black iron pipe is standard. It is sold individually per package with a minimum order quantity of 2 units.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable local codes and the International Fuel Gas Code (IFGC) or International Plumbing Code (IPC) where applicable. Shut off all gas or fluid supply and depressurize the line before disassembling or threading any fitting. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape rated for the service media before assembly. Do not overtighten threaded connections in malleable iron fittings, as this can crack the fitting body.
