Value Collection B240 50X40 Reducing Coupling 2x1.5in

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION B240 50X40 is a black malleable iron reducing coupling designed for threaded pipe connections in plumbing, mechanical, and industrial piping systems. It transitions from a 2-inch pipe to a 1.5-inch pipe using standard threaded end connections. Built to Class 150 specifications, the fitting carries a 300 psi liquid and gas pressure rating, making it suitable for both low-pressure gas and water distribution applications. The black finish is standard for gas service piping. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters are the primary installers, though this coupling also sees use in industrial maintenance and facility mechanical work.

This reducing coupling is appropriate for residential and light commercial gas piping, water distribution, and compressed air systems where a 2-inch to 1.5-inch transition is required. Threaded connections conform to widely accepted pipe thread standards, supporting installation in new construction and retrofit applications. The fitting meets multiple international and domestic standards, making it suitable for projects requiring certified components.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable local codes, the International Plumbing Code, or the International Fuel Gas Code. Shut off and depressurize the piping system fully before removing or installing any threaded fittings. Apply an approved thread sealant or PTFE tape to male threads before assembly. Do not overtighten threaded connections, as malleable iron fittings can crack under excessive torque.
