• Temperature tolerance: approximately -20°F to 200°F (-29°C to 93°C) depending on service conditions
• Common uses: plumbing, irrigation, HVAC, aquariums, chemical handling
• Product code: 62274 — compatible with standard pipe thread fittings

Benefits & Applications

This polypropylene reducer bushing solves the common problem of joining different pipe sizes without costly adapters or specialty fabrication. Its chemical resistance protects against corrosion from many acids, bases, and salts, making it ideal for chemical processing and water treatment systems. The lightweight construction speeds installation and reduces stress on piping runs. Use it to step down main irrigation lines to smaller distribution lines, feed instrumentation or sampling ports in wastewater systems, or connect smaller valves and fixtures in HVAC and plumbing setups. With a reliable threaded seal (and the use of Teflon tape or pipe dope), you get a leak-resistant joint that maintains system integrity under typical operating temperatures.

Installation Notes

Screw the male end into the larger fitting and thread the smaller fitting into the female end. Apply Teflon tape or pipe dope to threads for a watertight seal. Do not overtighten; hand-tight plus one turn with a wrench is usually sufficient. Verify compatibility with the fluid and temperature in your specific application before installation.
