Value Collection G240 20X15 Reducing Coupling 3/4x1/2 in

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION G240 20X15 is a malleable iron reducing coupling designed to connect threaded pipe runs where a transition from 3/4-inch to 1/2-inch pipe is required. This Class 150 fitting carries a liquid and gas pressure rating of 300 psi and a steam pressure rating of 150 psi, making it suitable for a wide range of fluid, gas, and low-pressure steam distribution systems. The galvanized finish provides corrosion resistance in exposed or damp environments. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters are the primary installers of this fitting in both new construction and retrofit piping work.

This reducing coupling is used in residential and light commercial plumbing, gas distribution, and hydronic piping systems where a threaded reduction between 3/4-inch and 1/2-inch pipe is needed. It is manufactured to ISO 7/1 threading standards, ensuring consistent thread form and engagement with standard NPT-compatible fittings. Typical applications include branch line reductions, fixture supply drops, and general pipe routing where flow is reduced to a smaller diameter downstream.

Key Features

• Malleable iron construction provides strength and impact resistance compared to cast iron
• Galvanized finish offers corrosion protection in damp or exposed environments
• 300 psi liquid and gas pressure rating suits a broad range of piping service conditions
• 150 psi steam pressure rating supports low-pressure steam distribution
• Threaded end connections per ISO 7/1 for consistent fit with standard pipe threads
• Class 150 designation meets widely recognized malleable iron fitting standards

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style threaded reducing coupling for use in Class 150 malleable iron pipe systems with 3/4-inch inlet and 1/2-inch outlet threaded connections.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable local plumbing and mechanical codes. Shut off and depressurize the pipe system completely before removing existing fittings or installing this coupling. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male threads before assembly, and tighten using pipe wrenches without over-torquing, which can crack malleable iron. Pressure-test the system after installation to confirm leak-free connections before returning to service.
