Value Collection B240 80X65 Reducing Coupling 3x2.5in

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION B240 80X65 is a Class 150 malleable iron black pipe reducing coupling designed to connect two threaded pipe runs of different diameters in a single inline fitting. Rated at 150 psi, it transitions a 3-inch pipe down to a 2.5-inch pipe using standard tapered threaded end connections on both sides. The black finish is standard for non-potable and general-purpose piping systems. At 3.58 pounds, the fitting carries the mass expected of full-body malleable iron construction. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this type of coupling in gas distribution, compressed air, fire protection, and industrial fluid piping systems.

This reducing coupling is suited for residential and commercial applications where a threaded pipe system requires an inline diameter reduction without an offset. Typical install scenarios include gas supply mains, black iron distribution manifolds, and compressed air headers. The threaded connection type is compatible with NPT-style pipe schedules commonly found in those systems. The fitting ships individually and is sold as a single unit.

Key Features

• Reduces a 3-inch threaded pipe to a 2.5-inch threaded pipe in one fitting
• Rated at 150 psi for Class 150 service
• Malleable iron construction provides impact resistance and thread integrity under torque
• Black finish suitable for gas and non-potable fluid service
• Threaded end connections on both ends for tool-only installation without welding or soldering
• Meets multiple international standards including FM Approved and cULus Listed

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for Class 150 threaded black iron pipe systems with a 3-inch inlet and 2.5-inch outlet, consistent with standard NPT piping configurations in gas, compressed air, and industrial fluid service.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable codes, including the International Fuel Gas Code (IFGC) or International Plumbing Code (IPC) depending on the service fluid. Shut off and depressurize the piping system fully before removing any existing fitting or threading the new coupling into place. Apply an approved thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male threads before assembly. Do not use this fitting in potable water service without first confirming local code approval for black iron in that application.
