Benefits & Applications

This polypropylene threaded reducer bushing solves the common problem of mismatched pipe sizes without costly rework. Use it to step down from a larger supply line to instrumentation, bleed lines, valves, or smaller distribution runs. Its chemical resistance makes it suitable where aggressive fluids are present. Typical applications include:

• Plumbing and water distribution systems
• Irrigation lines and sprinkler systems
• Industrial fluid transfer and chemical processing lines
• Wastewater treatment systems
• HVAC and refrigeration bleed or sensor connections

For example, installers often use a 1/2" to 1/4" reducer bushing to connect a sensor or sampling port to a main water line without altering the main piping. The result is a compact, reliable connection that saves time and materials.

Installation & Maintenance

Before installation, clean threads and remove debris. Apply PTFE (Teflon) tape or a compatible thread sealant to the male threads for added leak protection. Thread the bushing into the larger female fitting and tighten by hand or with appropriate tools—do not overtighten to avoid damaging threads. Inspect periodically for leaks or wear; replace the fitting if cracking or thread damage appears.
