Value Collection B240 25X8 Reducing Coupling 1x1/4 in

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION B240 25X8 is a Class 150 malleable iron black pipe reducing coupling designed for joining pipes of two different diameters in low-pressure black iron piping systems. Sized at 1 x 1/4 inches with NPT-threaded ends, this fitting connects a 1-inch line to a 1/4-inch branch or transition point. It carries a 300 psi working pressure rating, making it suitable for gas distribution, compressed air, water, and steam service applications within rated parameters. Licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and mechanical contractors install this type of fitting during new construction and retrofit work.

This reducing coupling is used in residential and light commercial piping systems where a step-down connection between two threaded pipe sizes is required. Typical applications include natural gas supply lines, compressed air distribution, and hydronic or steam systems. The black iron finish and malleable iron construction make it a standard choice for gas piping where galvanized fittings are not permitted by code.

Key Features

• 1 x 1/4 inch reducing profile for stepping down pipe diameter in a straight-run connection
• Class 150 rated at 300 psi working pressure
• Malleable iron construction provides ductility and resistance to cracking under stress
• Black finish suitable for gas piping applications where ungalvanized fittings are required
• NPT threaded ends for standard tapered-thread sealing without additional adapters
• Meets multiple standards including FM Approved, cULus Listed, ABNT Certified, EN 10242, ISO 7/1, GB/T 3287, and GB/T 7306.2

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for Class 150 malleable iron black pipe systems using NPT-threaded connections in 1 x 1/4 inch reducing configurations.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable local mechanical and plumbing codes, including IFGC and IPC where relevant. Shut off and depressurize the piping system completely before disassembling or installing any threaded fitting. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male threads before assembly, and tighten to proper engagement using a pipe wrench. Do not overtighten, as this can crack the fitting body or damage the threads.
