Value Collection B240 40X25 Black Reducing Coupling

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION B240 40X25 is a threaded black reducing coupling designed for joining pipes of two different diameters in low-pressure gas and liquid piping systems. Constructed from malleable iron with a black finish, this Class 150 fitting connects a 1-1/2 inch line to a 1 inch line using NPT-style threaded end connections. It carries a pressure rating of 300 psi and meets multiple domestic and international standards, making it a reliable choice for commercial and industrial piping installations. The fitting weighs 0.93 pounds and ships as a single unit. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters typically install these fittings in branch reductions, service drops, and inline transitions.

This reducing coupling is suited for threaded pipe assemblies in both residential and commercial applications, including gas distribution, water service, and general fluid handling. The black finish is standard for gas-service iron fittings. The 1-1/2 inch by 1 inch size covers one of the most common reduction transitions in building mechanical systems. Installers working on fire protection, industrial process, or utility gas lines will find the multi-standard certification coverage relevant to their project specifications.

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for threaded malleable iron pipe systems requiring a 1-1/2 inch to 1 inch reducing connection.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable local mechanical and plumbing codes. Shut off and depressurize the line before disassembling or installing any threaded fitting. Use an approved thread sealant or PTFE tape appropriate for the service medium. Do not overtighten threaded connections, as malleable iron fittings can crack under excessive torque.
