Midland Industries 28807P Reducer Coupling 2 in X 1 in Fpt

Product Description

The MIDLAND INDUSTRIES 28807P is a reducing coupling designed to connect two female pipe thread (FPT) ports of different sizes within a plumbing or fluid-handling system. The larger end accepts a 2-inch FPT connection with a 2-11/2 thread form, while the smaller end accepts a 1-inch FPT connection with a 1-11/2 thread form. Constructed from polypropylene, this coupling offers resistance to a wide range of chemicals and corrosive fluids, making it well-suited for industrial, commercial, and residential plumbing installations. Plumbers and pipefitters install this type of fitting when reducing pipe diameter inline without requiring additional adapters.

This reducer coupling is appropriate for use in plastic piping systems where a direct transition from 2-inch to 1-inch FPT is required. Typical applications include water treatment lines, chemical distribution systems, irrigation headers, and general-purpose fluid conveyance. The polypropylene construction makes it a practical choice in environments where metal fittings would be susceptible to corrosion or chemical attack. It is sold individually, making it easy to source as a single replacement or to incorporate into new construction work.

Key Features

• Reduces from 2-inch FPT to 1-inch FPT in a single inline fitting
• Polypropylene construction resists corrosion and many common chemicals
• 2-11/2 x 1-11/2 thread form ensures standard NPT thread compatibility
• Compact profile at 3.2 inches length and 3.05 inches height minimizes space requirements
• Lightweight at 0.255 pounds for ease of handling during installation

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for plastic piping systems using standard 2-inch and 1-inch female NPT threaded connections.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or qualified pipefitter in accordance with applicable local plumbing codes and IPC guidelines. Shut off and depressurize the system completely before removing any existing fittings. Use a compatible thread sealant tape or compound rated for polypropylene and the intended fluid service - do not overtighten, as polypropylene threads can crack under excessive torque. Inspect the mating male threads for damage or contamination before assembly.
