Reducer coupling for iron pipe

The Value Brand malleable iron reducer joins a 2 1/2 in pipe to a 1 1/2 in pipe using FNPT threads on both ends. It meets ASME B 16.3 and B 16.4, ASTM A-197 and ASTM A47, and carries FM Approved and UL Listed marks. The fitting is rated for 300 psi at 150 Degrees F and saturated steam at 150 psi across a temperature range of -20 to 366 Degrees F.

Class 150 malleable iron construction

Malleable iron provides the ductility needed to absorb vibration and thermal cycling without cracking. The FNPT threads create a sealed joint when assembled with appropriate sealant, and the Class 150 rating matches standard low-pressure piping practice. FM and UL listings confirm the coupling has been tested for fire-protection and general-service applications.

Check thread size and pressure class before ordering

Verify that both pipe ends are cut to the 2 1/2 in and 1 1/2 in nominal sizes and threaded to FNPT standard. Confirm the system design pressure does not exceed 300 psi at 150 Degrees F and that the operating temperature stays within the -20 to 366 Degrees F range. Buyers needing a different size combination or a higher pressure class will need another fitting.

Questions about this item

What class rating does the FNPT reducer coupling carry and what pressure does that limit it to?

The coupling is rated Class 150, which corresponds to a maximum working pressure of 300 psi at 150 °F and 150 psi for saturated steam service.

What pipe diameters must the threads match for this malleable iron fitting?

The fitting connects a 2 1/2 in FNPT pipe to a 1 1/2 in FNPT pipe, so both threaded ends must match those nominal sizes.

How do you seal the tapered threads correctly, and what mistake causes leaks?

Apply PTFE tape or pipe dope on the male threads only, then tighten to the recommended torque; skipping the sealant or over-tightening past the thread stop often causes leaks.
