Description
3000# Forged Steel Threaded Reducing Couplings
3000# Forged Steel Threaded Reducing Couplings provide a high-strength threaded transition between two different nominal pipe sizes in demanding industrial piping systems. Manufactured from normalized forged carbon steel, these fittings are designed for heavy-duty threaded applications where a compact straight-line reduction is required.
The fittings conform to ASTM A105N-09, ASME SA105N, and ASME B16.11-2009. The normalized material provides enhanced hardness, strength, and machinability, and the manufacturing facility is ISO certified.
