3/4" x 3/8" Polypropylene Threaded Reducer Bushing | 62271

3/4" x 3/8" Polypropylene Threaded Reducer Bushing — Model 62271

The 3/4" x 3/8" Polypropylene Threaded Reducer Bushing (model 62271) is a durable plumbing fitting designed to connect a 3/4" line to a 3/8" line. Made from chemical-resistant polypropylene, this threaded reducer bushing provides a secure, lightweight transition that’s ideal for irrigation, water treatment, chemical processing, and general plumbing systems.

Key Features & Specifications

• Size: reduces 3/4" pipe to 3/8" pipe (3/4" → 3/8")
• Material: polypropylene — excellent chemical and corrosion resistance
• Threaded design: internal threads for easy screw-in connections to male or female fittings
• Lightweight and durable: easier to handle than metal alternatives
• Flow impact: reduces cross-sectional area by ~75% (0.75" to 0.375" diameters)
• Installation: use PTFE (Teflon) tape or approved thread sealant for leak-free joints
• Model: 62271 — reliable replacement or new-install component

Benefits & Applications

This polypropylene threaded reducer bushing solves common piping challenges by providing a compact, corrosion-resistant way to step pipe diameters down without welding or complex adapters. It is ideal for agricultural irrigation lines where smaller branch lines are needed, chemical feed systems where corrosion resistance is critical, water treatment skids, and residential plumbing projects that require a durable, low-cost reducer. Because it reduces cross-sectional area by approximately 75%, it can also help control flow rates when feeding smaller valves or instruments. Always confirm material compatibility, pressure ratings, and temperature limits for your specific fluids and systems.

Installation & Use

For reliable installation: clean mating threads, apply PTFE tape or a suitable thread sealant to the male threads, hand-start the bushing, then tighten with a wrench until snug. Avoid over-tightening to prevent thread damage. Verify the system pressure and temperature limits before putting the fitting into service.
