Value Collection B240 20X10 Reducing Coupling 3/4x3/8

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION B240 20X10 is a black malleable iron reducing coupling designed for threaded pipe installations in plumbing, HVAC, and gas distribution systems. It steps down from a 3/4-inch female thread to a 3/8-inch female thread and carries a Class 150 pressure rating with a 300 psi liquid and gas pressure rating. The black finish resists corrosion in typical piping environments. Licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and HVAC technicians install this fitting where a pipe run changes diameter without requiring a union or transition adapter. It meets multiple international and domestic standards, making it suitable for a wide range of commercial and industrial piping applications.

This reducing coupling is used in residential and commercial piping systems where threaded black iron pipe is the specified material. Common applications include natural gas distribution, compressed air lines, fire suppression supply piping, and general fluid service. The 3/4 x 3/8 inch size is a standard reduction used at branch takeoffs, appliance connections, and equipment tie-ins. The fitting is sold individually and is appropriate for low-pressure service within its rated limits.

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for standard threaded black iron pipe systems using 3/4-inch and 3/8-inch NPT pipe sizes.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed plumbers or pipefitters following applicable code requirements, including IFGC and IPC where gas or plumbing service is involved. Shut off and depressurize the pipe system completely before removing any existing fitting or making new connections. Apply appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to male threads before assembly; do not apply sealant to the female threads of this coupling. Pressure-test the completed assembly before returning the system to service.
