How a Reducing Coupling Works
A threaded reducing coupling joins two male NPT pipe or nipple connections of different nominal sizes in a straight-line piping run. Each end contains a different-size female NPT thread, allowing the piping system to transition from a larger nominal pipe size to a smaller nominal pipe size.
Common Applications
Plumbing & Mechanical
- Threaded pipe size transitions
- Water piping
- Mechanical-room piping
- Equipment connections
Commercial & Industrial
- Threaded process piping
- Utility piping
- Maintenance and repair
- Equipment and branch piping transitions

Frequently Asked Questions
What does a bronze reducing coupling do?
It joins two male NPT threaded pipe connections of different nominal sizes in a straight piping run.
What connections does this reducing coupling use?
It uses female NPT threaded connections on both ends, with a different nominal size at each end.
How is a reducing coupling different from an equal coupling?
An equal coupling connects two male-threaded pipes of the same nominal size. A reducing coupling connects two different nominal pipe sizes.
What does LF mean in the Charman description?
LF identifies the lead-free version of the bronze fitting.
