Value Brand 1 in x 1/2 in FNPT Red Brass Reducing Coupling Class 125 200 psi

Red Brass Reducing Coupling 1 in x 1/2 in

This Value Brand reducing coupling joins a one-inch female NPT pipe to a half-inch female NPT pipe. It is made from red brass and rated Class 125 for a maximum operating pressure of 200 psi. The fitting suits potable water and hydronic heating lines where a straight size reduction is required. California Proposition 65 warnings apply to this product.

Thread Compatibility and Pressure Rating

Verify that both mating pipes have clean National Pipe Taper threads matching the one-inch and half-inch female NPT ends. Confirm the system design pressure does not exceed 200 psi at the expected operating temperature. Ensure the red brass alloy is compatible with the fluid chemistry and any dissimilar metals already installed in the circuit.

Red Brass Construction and Installation

The red brass body resists dezincification and corrosion in aggressive water conditions better than yellow brass alternatives. Female NPT threads on both ends accept standard male pipe nipples or adapters without soldering or flaring. Wrench flats allow secure tightening while the compact profile fits tight joist bays and service cavities.
