Value Collection B240 20X8 Reducing Coupling 3/4x1/4

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION B240 20X8 is a black malleable iron reducing coupling designed for threaded pipe systems operating at up to 300 psi. It reduces a 3/4-inch line down to a 1/4-inch connection using NPT-style threads on both ends. The black finish is achieved through a standard iron oxide coating suited for gas distribution, compressed air, and general industrial piping. Class 150 rated and compliant with multiple international standards, this fitting is installed by licensed plumbers and pipefitters in both residential and light commercial applications.

This reducing coupling is used wherever a threaded pipe run requires a step-down in diameter — common in gas supply lines, compressed air systems, and water distribution headers. The 3/4-inch-to-1/4-inch reduction makes it a typical fit for branch takeoffs and instrument connections. Its malleable iron construction handles mechanical stress better than cast iron, making it appropriate for installations subject to vibration or moderate thermal cycling.

Key Features

• 3/4-inch by 1/4-inch reduction with threaded end connections on both sides
• Malleable iron construction for improved impact and vibration resistance over cast iron
• Black oxide finish suited for gas and non-potable fluid systems
• Class 150 rated with a 300 psi liquid and gas pressure rating
• Certified to multiple standards: ABNT, EN 10242, FM Approved, GB/T 3287, GB/T 7306.2, ISO 7/1, and cULus Listed

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation threaded malleable iron reducing coupling for Class 150 black iron pipe systems using NPT-compatible threaded connections.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable local codes, IPC, and IFGC requirements where gas service is involved. Shut off the gas or fluid supply and depressurize the line completely before threading in any fitting. Apply appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape rated for the service medium. Do not over-tighten; hand-start threads carefully to avoid cross-threading in the malleable iron body.
