Value Collection B240 50X15 Reducing Coupling 2x1/2 in

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION B240 50X15 is a black malleable iron reducing coupling designed for threaded pipe connections in plumbing, gas distribution, and industrial piping systems. It steps down from a 2-inch female thread to a 1/2-inch female thread, allowing branch or transition connections between two different pipe sizes on the same run. Both ends use NPT threads. Rated at 300 psi for liquid and gas service and classified as Class 150, this coupling meets a broad range of pressure and flow requirements. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this fitting in commercial and residential applications.

This reducing coupling fits into systems requiring a 2-inch to 1/2-inch pipe transition with threaded connections. The black finish is standard for gas piping systems, though the fitting is also used in fire protection, compressed air, and water service lines. Its malleable iron construction handles the mechanical stress of field assembly and wrench torque without cracking. The coupling ships individually and is sold in a minimum quantity of one.

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard-service fitting for threaded malleable iron piping systems requiring a 2-inch to 1/2-inch reducing connection with NPT thread engagement.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable local codes, including the International Plumbing Code or International Fuel Gas Code where relevant. Shut off all gas or fluid pressure to the line before disassembling existing fittings or threading in this coupling. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to the NPT threads before assembly. Do not over-torque; malleable iron fittings can crack if driven beyond hand-tight plus standard wrench turns without proper support.
