3/4" x 1/2" Polypropylene Threaded Reducer Bushing | 62272

3/4" x 1/2" Polypropylene Threaded Reducer Bushing (Model 62272) — Barr Plastics

The 3/4" x 1/2" Polypropylene Threaded Reducer Bushing (product code 62272) from Barr Plastics is a durable plumbing fitting that joins pipes of different diameters. It provides a secure, threaded transition from a 3/4" connection to a 1/2" line. Made from chemical-resistant polypropylene, this threaded reducer bushing is ideal for plumbing, irrigation, and many industrial applications.

Features & Specifications

• Material: Polypropylene — chemical and corrosion resistant.
• Size: 3/4" (larger end) to 1/2" (smaller end) for quick diameter reduction.
• Thread Type: Threaded ends for easy screw-in installation.
• Model: Product code 62272 — consistent quality from Barr Plastics.
• Installation: Designed for tool-free hand-starting; use thread sealant or tape for leak-proof joints.
• Temperature & Chemical Performance: Suitable for moderate temperature ranges and many acids/bases — confirm exact limits with manufacturer specifications.
• Maintenance: Low maintenance; clean with mild detergent and water. Inspect periodically for wear in harsh chemical environments.

Benefits & Applications

This polypropylene threaded reducer bushing lets you adapt a larger supply line to a smaller one quickly and reliably. It prevents leaks with a tight threaded connection and resists corrosion and many chemicals where metal fittings would fail. Use it to downsize lines in residential plumbing, irrigation systems, pool and spa plumbing, laboratory setups, aquaculture systems, and light industrial fluid lines. For example, converting a 3/4" feed line to a 1/2" branch provides immediate compatibility with standard valves, meters, or fixtures without costly re-piping.

The part reduces installation time because no specialty tools are required. Simply thread into the existing fitting, apply thread sealant if needed, and tighten to spec. Regular visual checks are usually sufficient for maintenance in non-extreme environments.

Installation Tips

• Hand-start threads, then tighten with a wrench if required—don’t over-tighten.
• Use PTFE thread tape or a compatible thread sealant to ensure a leak-free joint.
• Confirm compatible thread standards on mating fittings before installation.
• Verify operating temperature and chemical exposure against polypropylene limits.
