Reducing Hex Coupling 7811

This Zoro Select fitting joins 1/2 inch NPT pipe to 3/8 inch NPT pipe in instrumentation and control systems. Made from 304 stainless steel, it serves installers who need a corrosion-resistant transition between different pipe sizes. The 1 1/8 inch hex allows tightening with standard wrenches. It is supplied without pre-applied thread sealant.

Build integration and space

The 1 1/2 inch overall length keeps the joint compact inside panels or tubing runs. Both ends use NPT threads, so the coupling fits directly into existing threaded ports without adapters. Installers must supply compatible sealant or tape for leak-tight assembly. The reduction frees up space by eliminating a separate bushing and nipple combination.

Pressure rating and service conditions

Rated for 4600 psi maximum operating pressure under specified conditions, the coupling handles air, natural gas, oil, potable water and steam within manufacturer limits. Grade 304 stainless steel resists corrosion in these media. The fitting meets ANSI B31.1 and low-lead compliance standards. No thread sealant is included, so joint integrity depends on correct field preparation.
