Value Collection MDG240 50X40-2 Reducing Coupling 2x1.5in

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION MDG240 50X40-2 is a malleable iron reducing coupling designed to connect piping of two different diameters in threaded pipe systems. This fitting transitions from a 2-inch pipe to a 1-1/2-inch pipe using standard threaded end connections. Rated at 300 psi for liquid and gas service and 150 psi for steam, it meets Class 150 requirements and conforms to ISO 7/1 threading standards. Plumbers and pipefitters install this coupling in commercial and industrial piping systems where reducing connections are required without the need for welding or special tooling.

This reducing coupling is suited for use in plumbing, HVAC hydronic systems, compressed air lines, and general-purpose liquid or gas distribution where a threaded pipe size reduction is needed. It is a direct-install fitting for applications that require a reliable, leak-resistant transition between 2-inch and 1-1/2-inch threaded pipe runs. The malleable iron construction provides durability in moderate-temperature and moderate-pressure service environments.

Key Features

• Transitions 2-inch pipe to 1-1/2-inch threaded pipe in a single fitting
• Rated 300 psi for liquid and gas service
• Rated 150 psi for steam service
• Malleable iron construction for strength and machinability
• ISO 7/1 threaded end connections for standardized fitment
• Class 150 fitting conforming to industry standards

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for threaded malleable iron pipe systems requiring a 2-inch to 1-1/2-inch reducing connection.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter. Shut off and depressurize the affected pipe system before beginning work. Apply thread sealant or PTFE tape to all threaded connections in accordance with applicable IPC or IFGC code requirements. Inspect threads for damage before installation and do not overtighten, as malleable iron threads can crack under excessive torque.
