Ashland Water Group MRA125NL Brass Male Reducing Adapter

Product Description

The ASHLAND WATER GROUP MRA125NL is a brass male reducing adapter designed to transition a 1.25-inch submersible pump discharge outlet down to a 1-inch barbed end for connection to plastic pipe. Built from lead-free brass to comply with applicable lead-free plumbing laws, this fitting is suited for well pump installations and other submersible pump applications where a reduction in pipe size is required at the pump outlet. Licensed plumbers and pump service technicians install this adapter as part of a complete discharge assembly when connecting a standard 1.25-inch pump discharge port to 1-inch plastic drop pipe or lateral piping.

This adapter is used in residential and light commercial well water systems where a submersible pump features a 1.25-inch discharge outlet and the installer needs to step down to 1-inch plastic pipe with a barbed connection. It is commonly installed in a pitless adapter assembly, pressure tank plumbing, or at the pump head itself. The barbed end provides a secure, low-slip grip on flexible or rigid plastic tubing, reducing the need for additional fittings in the transition.

Key Features

• Reduces 1.25-inch male pump discharge to 1-inch barbed end for plastic pipe connection
• Brass construction for corrosion resistance in water supply applications
• Complies with lead-free laws for potable water use
• Male thread on the pump-side for direct connection to standard submersible pump discharge ports
• Barbed outlet end provides a positive grip on plastic pipe or tubing

Compatibility

Designed for use with submersible pumps featuring a 1.25-inch discharge outlet where connection to 1-inch plastic pipe or tubing is required. Consult pump manufacturer specifications to confirm thread type and discharge port dimensions before installation.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or qualified pump technician in accordance with local plumbing codes and the International Plumbing Code (IPC). Shut off power to the submersible pump and relieve system pressure before disassembling any discharge fittings. Apply appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to male threads before assembly. Ensure the barbed end is fully seated in the plastic pipe and secured with an appropriate clamp or fitting to prevent blowoff under operating pressure.
