Midland Industries 28777W Reducer Coupling 3/4 X 3/8 Fpt Nylon

Product Description

The MIDLAND INDUSTRIES 28777W is a reducing coupling designed to connect two female pipe thread (FPT) ports of different sizes within a plumbing or fluid distribution system. It transitions from a 3/4 inch FPT inlet down to a 3/8 inch FPT outlet, allowing technicians to reduce line size without additional adapters. Constructed from nylon, this fitting offers lightweight handling and resistance to corrosion, making it suitable for low-pressure water, air, or compatible chemical service lines. Plumbers, pipefitters, and HVAC technicians install this type of fitting during system assembly, repair, or retrofit work where line size changes are required.

This reducer coupling is used in residential and light commercial plumbing systems, irrigation lines, pneumatic supply lines, and HVAC ancillary piping where a 3/4 inch FPT to 3/8 inch FPT transition is needed. Its nylon construction makes it a practical choice in applications where metal fittings are not required or where weight and corrosion resistance are priorities. It is well-suited for use in tight spaces or portable equipment installations where a compact, threaded reducer is the preferred connection method.

Key Features

• Reduces from 3/4 inch FPT to 3/8 inch FPT in a single fitting
• Nylon construction provides corrosion resistance and lightweight handling
• Female pipe thread on both ends for straightforward installation with standard male-threaded fittings
• Plastic pipe fitting category - suitable for low-pressure fluid and air service
• Minimum order quantity of 1 for flexible purchasing

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for plastic pipe systems requiring a 3/4 inch FPT to 3/8 inch FPT reducing connection.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or qualified technician. Shut off and depressurize the supply line completely before removing any existing fittings or threading in this coupling. Apply a compatible thread sealant tape or compound rated for the intended service fluid to all male threads before assembly. Do not overtighten nylon fittings - hand-tight plus a controlled fraction of a turn is standard practice; use of pipe wrenches should be limited to avoid cracking the fitting body.
