Value Collection C544314 Reducing Coupling 3/4x3/8 Class 300

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION C544314 is a black malleable iron reducing coupling designed to connect two threaded pipe sections of different diameters within a single run. Sized at 3/4 inch by 3/8 inch, this fitting transitions from the larger 3/4 inch pipe to the smaller 3/8 inch pipe using threaded end connections on both ends. Rated at Class 300 with a liquid and gas pressure rating of 1500 psi, it is built for demanding service in gas distribution, compressed air, and fluid piping systems. The black finish is standard for gas-line applications. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters are the typical installers of this fitting type.

This reducing coupling is suited for use in residential and light commercial piping systems where a change in pipe diameter is required along a straight run. Common applications include natural gas supply lines, steam and condensate systems, compressed air distribution, and water service lines. The threaded connection style makes it compatible with standard NPT-threaded pipe and fittings. This product is sold in a pack of 5 units, making it practical for service vans and job-site inventory.

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard-fit reducing coupling for NPT-threaded malleable iron piping systems in residential and commercial gas, steam, compressed air, and fluid service applications.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable local codes, IFGC requirements for gas applications, or IPC requirements for water and fluid systems. Shut off and depressurize the line completely before disassembling any threaded fittings. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape rated for the intended service medium before making up the joint. Do not overtighten threaded connections, as malleable iron threads can crack under excessive torque.
