Value Collection B240 15X8 Black Reducing Coupling 1/2x1/4

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION B240 15X8 is a threaded black reducing coupling designed to connect pipes of two different diameters in low-pressure gas and liquid distribution systems. Made from malleable iron with a black finish, this Class 150 fitting transitions from a 1/2-inch female thread to a 1/4-inch female thread. It carries a 300 psi pressure rating, making it suitable for a range of commercial and residential piping applications. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this type of fitting as part of gas supply, compressed air, or water distribution runs where a step-down connection is required.

This reducing coupling is intended for use in threaded iron pipe systems found in residential and light commercial construction. It is well suited for natural gas distribution piping, compressed air lines, and similar low-to-medium pressure fluid systems where a transition from 1/2-inch to 1/4-inch pipe is needed. The fitting 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 installing any threaded fittings. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to male threads before assembly. Do not over-tighten; follow standard pipe fitting practices to avoid cracking the malleable iron body.
