1-1/4" x 1" Polypropylene Threaded Reducer Bushing (Model 62278)

Product Introduction

The 1-1/4" x 1" Polypropylene Threaded Reducer Bushing (model 62278) from BARR Plastics lets you quickly and securely step down from a 1-1/4" pipe to a 1" pipe. Made from chemical-resistant polypropylene, this threaded reducer bushing is ideal for irrigation, water management, and many industrial fluid systems where corrosion resistance and lightweight components matter.

Benefits & Applications

This polypropylene threaded reducer bushing solves the common problem of mismatched pipe sizes without sacrificing durability. Its chemical resistance prevents degradation in systems that carry fertilizers, treatment chemicals, or mildly corrosive liquids, reducing downtime and replacement costs. The threaded design provides a tight, leak-resistant connection that is faster to install than flanged or welded transitions.

Typical uses include irrigation lines, water treatment loops, skid-mounted chemical systems, laboratory plumbing, and general-purpose municipal or industrial piping where a reliable step-down is required. Because it is lightweight and easy to handle, the bushing speeds installation and reduces labor time on site.

Installation Guidelines

• Use standard plumbing tools. Hand-start threads, then tighten with a wrench—avoid overtightening.
• Apply PTFE tape or approved pipe thread sealant to male threads for a leak-resistant joint.
• Verify compatibility with system fluids and local plumbing codes before installation.
