Benefits & Applications

This reducer nipple simplifies transitions between pipe sizes without the need for complex fittings. Its compact, threaded design reduces installation time and helps prevent leaks when properly sealed with thread tape or sealant. The corrosion-resistant PVC construction extends service life in moist and chemically active environments, making it ideal for:

• Residential and commercial plumbing (water supply and drainage)
• Irrigation systems for gardens and agriculture
• HVAC connections that require size transitions
• Light industrial and manufacturing piping where quick, reliable reductions are needed

Example: replace a worn adapter in a garden irrigation line quickly by screwing this reducer nipple into existing Size 80 threaded fittings to restore flow with minimal downtime.

Quick Installation Guidelines

• Confirm both mating fittings use Size 80 threads.
• Clean threads, wrap male threads with PTFE (plumber’s) tape or apply pipe thread sealant.
• Hand-start threads, then tighten with a wrench—do not overtighten to avoid cracking PVC.
• Pressure-test the connection before returning to full service.
