Harco 69-311502C Hdpe Reducer Coupling 2x1 Inch Socket Fusion

Product Description

The HARCO 69-311502C is a socket fusion reducer coupling designed for HDPE water service piping. It transitions from a 2-inch pipe to a 1-inch pipe using a heat-fusion socket connection, creating a leak-free, monolithic joint without threads, clamps, or adhesives. The fitting is manufactured in black HDPE, which provides UV resistance for exposed or partially exposed installations. Licensed plumbers and pipe fusion technicians install this fitting in potable water, irrigation, and municipal distribution applications where a permanent, pressure-rated reduction is required.

This coupling is intended for socket fusion assembly on HDPE piping systems. Socket fusion joints are made using a pipe fusion iron or socket fusion tool set to the appropriate temperature for the pipe wall thickness and ambient conditions. The fitting is suited for residential and light commercial water service lines, irrigation mains, and other pressure piping systems where HDPE is specified. It is not intended for gas service. Installation follows standard HDPE socket fusion procedures per ASTM or manufacturer guidelines.

Key Features

• Reduces from 2-inch to 1-inch pipe in a single socket fusion fitting
• Black HDPE construction provides UV resistance for above-grade and direct-bury applications
• Socket fusion end connections eliminate threads and mechanical fasteners for a monolithic joint
• Compatible with standard HDPE water service pipe dimensions
• Suitable for potable water, irrigation, and pressure piping applications

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style socket fusion fitting for HDPE water service piping systems requiring a 2-inch to 1-inch reduction.

Installation Notes

Installation must be performed by a qualified plumber or certified pipe fusion technician using a properly calibrated socket fusion tool. Depressurize and drain the line completely before cutting or joining pipe. Follow ASTM F1056 or the applicable local plumbing code for socket fusion procedures, including proper heat soak and cooling times. Do not apply pressure to the joint until the fusion zone has fully cooled.
