Value Collection B240 40X32 Black Reducing Coupling

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION B240 40X32 is a threaded black reducing coupling designed to connect pipes of two different diameters in gas and liquid piping systems. Constructed from malleable iron with a black finish, it transitions a 1-1/2 inch line down to a 1-1/4 inch line using standard threaded end connections. Rated at 300 psi, it meets Class 150 classification and carries a broad set of certifications including cULus Listed, FM Approved, ABNT, EN 10242, GB/T 3287, GB/T 7306.2, and ISO 7/1. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this fitting in commercial and industrial pipe runs.

This reducing coupling is used in threaded malleable iron piping systems handling liquids or gases, including natural gas, air, and water distribution lines in commercial and industrial settings. Its black finish and malleable iron construction make it suitable for above-ground and concealed mechanical room installations where a durable, code-compliant threaded connection is required. The single-piece coupling installs directly into existing threaded pipe runs without special tooling beyond standard pipe wrenches.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable codes such as the IPC or IFGC. Shut off and depressurize the line before removing any existing fitting. Apply appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to all male threads before assembly. Do not over-tighten threaded connections, as malleable iron fittings can crack under excessive torque.
