Value Collection C544312 Reducing Coupling 3/4 X 1/4 in

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION C544312 is a malleable iron pipe reducing coupling designed to connect two sections of threaded pipe at different diameters, stepping down from a 3/4-inch female thread to a 1/4-inch female thread. Rated at 1,500 psi for liquid and gas service and 300 psi for steam service, this Class 300 fitting is built for demanding plumbing, HVAC, and industrial piping applications. Malleable iron construction provides the ductility and toughness needed to handle installation torque and thermal cycling in service. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters are the primary installers of this type of fitting.

This reducing coupling is suited for residential and commercial piping systems where a threaded line must transition from 3/4-inch to 1/4-inch nominal pipe size. Typical applications include gas distribution lines, steam supply and condensate systems, compressed air headers, and water service piping. The fitting threads onto standard NPT pipe and fittings and is commonly used alongside valves, gauges, and instrumentation takeoffs that require a reduced port size. Sold in a package quantity of 5 units.

Key Features

• Malleable iron construction withstands installation stress and thermal cycling
• 1,500 psi liquid and gas pressure rating for demanding service conditions
• 300 psi steam pressure rating, Class 300 designation
• Reduces from 3/4-inch to 1/4-inch nominal pipe size in a single fitting
• Threaded NPT connections for standard field assembly
• Sold in a pack of 5 units per package

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for standard NPT-threaded piping systems requiring a 3/4-inch to 1/4-inch reducing coupling in malleable iron.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable local codes and the International Plumbing Code or International Fuel Gas Code as relevant to the service. De-pressurize and isolate the piping system completely before removing or installing any threaded fittings. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape rated for the service medium before assembly. Do not over-torque; use a backup wrench on adjacent fittings to avoid stressing existing connections.
