Value Collection B240 25X10 Black Reducing Coupling

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION B240 25X10 is a black malleable iron reducing coupling designed for threaded pipe assemblies in plumbing, HVAC, and industrial piping systems. It transitions from a 1-inch female thread to a 3/8-inch female thread using standard NPT connections, making it a practical fitting for reducing pipe diameter in-line. The black finish is standard for gas and low-pressure fluid distribution applications. Rated to 300 psi and meeting Class 150 classification, this coupling is built for reliable service in both liquid and gas systems. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters are the primary installers of this fitting type.

This reducing coupling is suited for residential and commercial piping installations where a threaded inline reducer is needed. Typical applications include gas distribution lines, compressed air systems, water supply headers, and HVAC hydronic piping. The 1-inch by 3/8-inch size combination is commonly used when branching or stepping down from a main supply line to a smaller branch or equipment connection. It is sold individually and is appropriate for single-unit or small-quantity service and repair work.

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for threaded malleable iron piping systems using 1-inch to 3/8-inch NPT connections in Class 150 liquid and gas service.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable local plumbing codes and the International Fuel Gas Code (IFGC) where gas service is involved. Shut off all gas or fluid supply and depressurize the line before removing or installing any threaded fitting. Apply appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to NPT threads before assembly. Do not over-tighten, as malleable iron threads can crack under excessive torque.
