Value Collection G240 40X15 Reducing Coupling 1-1/2x1/2 in

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION G240 40X15 is a malleable iron reducing coupling designed to connect pipes of two different diameters in threaded piping systems. It transitions from a 1-1/2 inch female thread to a 1/2 inch female thread, making it a standard fitting for reducing or expanding line sizes within a run. Rated at 300 psi for liquid and gas service and 150 psi for steam, this Class 150 fitting meets the demands of most residential and light commercial piping applications. The galvanized finish provides corrosion resistance in exposed or moderately humid environments. Plumbers and pipefitters install this fitting as part of routine pipe assembly or system modification work.

This reducing coupling is suited for use in water supply, gas distribution, compressed air, and steam piping systems where a threaded line reduction is required. Its Class 150 pressure rating and ISO 7/1 thread standard make it appropriate for both new construction and retrofit installations in residential and commercial settings. The fitting accepts standard tapered pipe threads on both ends for a secure, leak-resistant mechanical joint when properly assembled with thread sealant or PTFE tape.

Key Features

• Reduces from 1-1/2 inch to 1/2 inch threaded connection in a single fitting
• Malleable iron construction provides strength and impact resistance versus cast iron
• Galvanized finish for added corrosion resistance
• 300 psi liquid and gas pressure rating for versatile service
• 150 psi steam pressure rating for low-pressure steam systems
• Meets ISO 7/1 thread standard for consistent thread engagement

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard component for Class 150 threaded malleable iron piping systems using 1-1/2 inch and 1/2 inch NPT connections.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter following applicable IPC or IFGC code requirements for the intended service. Shut off and depressurize the system completely before removing or installing any threaded fitting. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to all male threads before assembly to ensure a leak-free joint. Do not overtighten, as malleable iron fittings can crack under excessive torque.
