Value Collection B240 8X6 Black Reducing Coupling 1/4x1/8

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION B240 8X6 is a black malleable iron reducing coupling used to connect threaded pipe runs of different diameters. It transitions from a 1/4-inch female thread to a 1/8-inch female thread, making it a practical fitting for low- and medium-pressure piping systems. Rated to 300 psi, it carries a Class 150 designation and meets multiple international and domestic standards including FM Approval and cULus Listing. The black finish is standard for gas and industrial piping applications. Plumbers, pipefitters, and HVAC technicians install this fitting in both new construction and retrofit work.

This reducing coupling is suited for residential and light commercial piping systems where a threaded diameter reduction is needed at a branch or inline connection. Common applications include gas distribution lines, compressed air systems, and general-purpose liquid or steam piping where Class 150 malleable iron fittings are specified. The 300 psi pressure rating supports a broad range of service conditions found in typical mechanical room and in-wall installations.

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for Class 150 threaded malleable iron piping systems requiring a 1/4-inch to 1/8-inch reducing connection.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter following applicable local codes and IFGC or IPC requirements for threaded pipe connections. Shut off gas or fluid supply and depressurize the line completely before removing or installing any fitting. Apply an approved thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male threads before assembly. Do not over-torque threaded connections in malleable iron fittings, as this can crack the fitting body.
