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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e3\/4-inch by 1\/4-inch reduction with threaded end connections on both sides\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMalleable iron construction for improved impact and vibration resistance over cast iron\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBlack oxide finish suited for gas and non-potable fluid systems\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eClass 150 rated with a 300 psi liquid and gas pressure rating\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCertified to multiple standards: ABNT, EN 10242, FM Approved, GB\/T 3287, GB\/T 7306.2, ISO 7\/1, and cULus Listed\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eInstallation 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFitting Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Reducing Coupling\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFitting Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\/4 x 1\/4 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEnd Connections\u003c\/strong\u003e: Threaded\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: Malleable Iron\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish\u003c\/strong\u003e: Black\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eClassification\u003c\/strong\u003e: Class 150\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePressure Rating\u003c\/strong\u003e: 300 psi (liquid and gas)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.21 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStandards\u003c\/strong\u003e: ABNT Certified, EN 10242, Enterprise Standard, FM Approved, GB\/T 3287, GB\/T 7306.2, ISO 7\/1, cULus Listed\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: VALUE COLLECTION\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: B240 20X8\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"VALUE COLLECTION","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51712141164850,"sku":"B240 20X8","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/5f2372993e7870da7456fda27fa9f7d4.jpg?v=1788484339","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/value-collection-b240-20x8-reducing-coupling-3-4x1-4","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
