Charlotte Pipe 429-101 Pvc Schedule 40 Reducer Coupling Socket X Socket 3/4 Inches X 1/2 Inches

Product Description

The Charlotte Pipe 429-101 is a PVC Schedule 40 Reducer Coupling with a socket by socket connection, designed to transition from a 3/4 inch pipe to a 1/2 inch pipe in residential and commercial plumbing systems. This fitting is manufactured from rigid polyvinyl chloride, which resists corrosion, chemical attack, and scale buildup that commonly affect metal fittings over time. The Charlotte Pipe 429-101 is built to Schedule 40 wall thickness standards, making it suitable for a wide range of pressure applications in cold and hot water distribution, drain systems, and general water service lines. Plumbers and pipefitters rely on reducer couplings like this one when system layouts call for a step-down in pipe diameter. The socket by socket design accepts standard PVC pipe ends on both the 3/4 inch inlet and the 1/2 inch outlet, allowing a secure solvent-cement bond that creates a leak-free, permanent connection. Solvent welding PVC Schedule 40 fittings is a straightforward process that does not require open flame, making it faster and safer compared to copper sweat fittings. The smooth interior bore of the 429-101 promotes consistent flow and reduces friction loss at the transition point. This reducer coupling is compliant with ASTM D2466 standards for PVC pressure fittings, which is a common specification requirement on commercial and municipal plumbing projects. Charlotte Pipe is a well-established domestic manufacturer with a long track record of producing PVC, CPVC, ABS, and cast iron pipe products trusted by professional plumbers across the country. Whether used in new construction, retrofit work, or repair applications, the Charlotte Pipe 429-101 delivers reliable performance and dimensional consistency that tradespeople depend on.

• Reduces from 3/4 inches to 1/2 inches for precise pipe diameter transitions
• PVC Schedule 40 construction offers corrosion resistance and long service life
• Socket by socket ends accept standard solvent-cement bonding for a permanent, leak-free joint
