Aquatherm 1040090945 Reducer Bushing 3 X 2 Inch

Product Description

The AQUATHERM 1040090945 is a reducer bushing designed for use in polypropylene piping systems where a transition from a 3-inch nominal pipe to a 2-inch nominal pipe is required via socket weld connection. Manufactured from Fusiolen PP-R, this fitting meets ASTM F2389 material standards and conforms to DIN 16962 and DIN EN ISO 15874 dimensional standards. The green finish identifies it as part of the Aquatherm Green system, which is engineered for mechanical, industrial, and compressed air applications. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters performing heat-fusion installations are the primary installers of this fitting type.

This reducer bushing is suited for mechanical rooms, industrial facilities, and commercial buildings where PP-R piping systems are specified for mechanical or compressed air service. The socket weld end connections allow for heat-fusion jointing without the need for chemical solvents or open flame. It transitions a 3-inch line down to a 2-inch branch or outlet, making it useful during system design changes, equipment connections, or retrofit installations that require a step-down in pipe diameter.

Key Features

• Fusiolen PP-R material construction meets ASTM F2389 material standard
• Socket weld connection type supports heat-fusion joining for leak-free joints
• Conforms to DIN 16962 and DIN EN ISO 15874 dimensional and performance standards
• Green color coding identifies fitting as part of the Aquatherm Green mechanical and compressed air system
• Female socket end measures 63 x 84 MM and male socket end measures 90 MM for precise fit within the system
• Center-to-end dimension of 50.5 MM supports accurate system layout and spool fabrication

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style component for use within Aquatherm Green PP-R piping systems using socket weld heat-fusion connections at 3-inch by 2-inch nominal transitions.

Installation Notes

Installation of PP-R heat-fusion fittings should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter trained in polypropylene fusion techniques. The piping system must be fully depressurized and drained before any fitting removal or installation. Heat-fusion tooling must be set to the correct temperature per the fusion procedure for PP-R pipe and fittings. Installation should comply with applicable mechanical codes and the manufacturer fusion guidelines.
