Value Collection B240 50X20 Black Reducing Coupling 2x3/4 in

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION B240 50X20 is a black-finish malleable iron reducing coupling used to connect pipe runs of two different diameters in a single threaded joint. Sized at 2 inches by 3/4 inch with NPT threads on both ends, it handles liquid and gas service at up to 300 psi and carries a Class 150 pressure rating. The black iron finish suits gas piping, fire protection, and general industrial fluid systems. Plumbers, pipefitters, and mechanical contractors install this fitting as a standard reducing connection in new construction and retrofit work alike.

This coupling fits residential and commercial piping systems where a 2-inch main line must transition down to a 3/4-inch branch or outlet. Typical applications include natural gas distribution, compressed air, steam, water, and other compatible fluid services within the pressure and temperature limits of Class 150 malleable iron fittings. Both ends accept standard NPT threaded pipe, making field installation straightforward with common hand and power pipe tools.

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for Class 150 malleable iron threaded piping systems using NPT connections.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable mechanical and plumbing codes such as the IPC or IFGC. Shut off and depressurize the piping system completely before cutting into any live line. Apply an appropriate pipe thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male NPT threads before assembly, and tighten to hand-tight plus wrench-tight as required by the applicable code and fitting manufacturer guidance. Do not over-tighten malleable iron fittings, as the material can crack under excessive torque.
