Zoro Select Reduce Coupling

This 316 stainless steel threaded coupling reduces a 2-1/2 inch pipe to a 1-1/2 inch connection. It suits industrial plumbing systems that require corrosion-resistant flow transitions. The component is supplied new for permanent installation in compatible piping networks.

Capacity and headroom

The 316-grade material withstands aggressive fluids and elevated temperatures where standard alloys would degrade. It handles the pressure rating inherent to its pipe schedule and thread class without deformation. The fitting reaches its limit when system pressure exceeds the schedule rating or when chemical attack targets the specific alloy.

Build integration

The tapered threads seal directly into matching female NPT ports without requiring welding or flanges. It frees up space by eliminating the need for separate reducer bushings and nipples in tight pipe runs. Installers must provide thread sealant and appropriate wrenches for the hex flats.

Questions about this item

Will the 316 stainless coupling resist corrosion when I connect it to older galvanized pipe?

The 316 grade provides strong corrosion resistance and is commonly used in mixed-metal systems, though a dielectric union is still recommended for galvanized-to-stainless transitions.

How do I verify the 2-1/2"x1-1/2" threads seal properly after installation?

Pressurize the line to its working pressure and inspect both threaded joints with leak-detection fluid; no bubbles indicate a sound seal.

Does the 4381036600 coupling come with thread sealant or gaskets, or must I buy them separately?

The coupling is supplied as the fitting only; PTFE tape, pipe dope or a compatible gasket kit must be purchased separately.
