Description

This Steel Hex Reducing Coupler (also known as a reducing socket) is engineered to connect two different sizes of high-pressure male pipe threads in a straight line. Rated for a robust 3,000 PSI, this forged carbon steel fitting smoothly transitions from a 1/2″ MPT line down to a 1/4″ MPT line, offering an incredibly durable, leak-proof connection for demanding fluid systems.

Key Specifications

• Connection Type A: 1/2″ FPT (Female Pipe Thread – Inner)

• Connection Type B: 1/4″ FPT (Female Pipe Thread – Inner)

• Material: High-Strength Forged Carbon Steel

• Pressure Rating: 3,000 PSI (Maximum Working Pressure)

• Design: Straight Hex Body Reducing Coupler

Product Highlights

• Inline Size Reduction: Integrates a 1/2″ to 1/4″ thread transition into a single compact fitting, eliminating the need for multi-fitting adapters and reducing potential leak points in your plumbing network.

• Wrench-Friendly Hex Body: Precision-machined with a solid external hex profile. This allows standard open-end wrenches, adjustable wrenches, or sockets to grip the fitting securely for maximum leverage during tightening.

• Solid Carbon Steel Construction: Forged to easily withstand high operational pressures, hydraulic spikes, and intense mechanical stress vastly better than standard brass or cast iron fittings.

• Vibration & Fatigue Resistant: High tensile strength ensures the internal threads resist stripping, shearing, or backing out under the constant vibrations of commercial pumps and heavy machinery.

• Corrosion Protection: Finished with a durable zinc plating that shields the raw carbon steel from rust, moisture, and chemical exposure in rugged commercial wash and industrial environments.
