Typical Applications
The 1-1/4” to 1” PVC Reducer Coupling is widely used wherever a smooth transition between two PVC pipe sizes is needed:
- Ideal for residential plumbing, garden irrigation, and drainage systems where efficient flow control is essential.
- Commonly seen in agricultural, pool and spa, and commercial water distribution networks.
- Provides a tight, leak-free fit that minimizes turbulence and pressure loss.
- Resistant to corrosion, scaling, and UV exposure—suitable for indoor, outdoor, and underground installations.
- Compatible with both manual and automated solvent-welding systems for fast, consistent connections.
Whether you’re upgrading a home water line or configuring an irrigation manifold, this reducer coupling brings the efficiency and system reliability you can trust.
Installation & Handling Tips
When you put time into proper installation, you’re able to maximize the life and performance of any PVC coupling. Follow the steps below for the best results:
- Cut the pipe ends squarely and remove burrs or rough edges.
- Clean pipe and socket surfaces thoroughly before bonding.
- Prime both pipe and fitting sockets using an NSF-approved PVC primer to soften and prepare the surfaces.
- Apply solvent cement meeting ASTM D2564 standards. Insert the pipe fully into the socket with a ¼-turn twist to spread cement evenly.
- Hold the joint together for several seconds, then wipe away excess cement.
- Cure for at least 15 minutes before handling and two hours before pressurizing the line.
- Store unused couplings in a cool, dry environment to preserve material integrity.
These simple steps help ensure a long-lasting, watertight seal that supports safe operation and minimal maintenance.
