Benefits & Applications

This polypropylene threaded reducer bushing solves the common problem of connecting mismatched pipe sizes without costly adapters or reworking piping runs. Its chemical resistance makes it a reliable choice for environments that handle fertilizers, mild chemicals, or corrosive fluids. The threaded ends simplify installation and maintenance, saving time for both professional contractors and DIY users.

Common applications include: - Residential and commercial plumbing systems for size transitions. - Agricultural irrigation systems where different line sizes are used for distribution efficiency. - Chemical processing and handling lines that require corrosion-resistant fittings. - Aquarium, pond, and aquaculture setups for filtration and water movement connections.

Installation Guidelines

• Confirm pipe sizes match the 1" and 1/8" connections.
• Clean threads before assembly to ensure a tight seal.
• Apply thread sealant or PTFE tape if required for the application.
• Hand-tighten first, then use a wrench for a snug fit. Avoid over-tightening to prevent thread damage.
• Inspect periodically for leaks and replace if threads show wear.
