Midland Industries 829131 Reducer Slip Coupling Sch 80 Pvc

Product Description

The MIDLAND INDUSTRIES 829131 is a Schedule 80 PVC reducer slip coupling designed to transition between a 1-inch female socket connection and a 3/4-inch female socket connection in pressurized piping systems. Made from Schedule 80 PVC, this fitting delivers heavier wall thickness than standard Schedule 40, making it suitable for higher-pressure plumbing and industrial fluid handling applications. It accepts solvent-weld connections on both ends and is installed by licensed plumbers or pipefitters working on PVC pipe systems where a concentric reducer is needed to step down pipe diameter.

This reducer coupling is used in residential and commercial plumbing installations where a pipe run transitions from 1-inch to 3/4-inch PVC. Typical applications include water supply distribution, irrigation systems, chemical handling lines, and industrial process piping where Schedule 80 PVC material is specified for its added wall strength and pressure rating. The slip socket design requires standard PVC primer and solvent cement for a permanent, leak-resistant joint.

Key Features

• Reduces from 1-inch female socket to 3/4-inch female socket in a single fitting
• Schedule 80 PVC construction provides greater wall thickness than Schedule 40
• Slip socket ends accept solvent-weld connections on both sides
• Suitable for pressurized plumbing, irrigation, and industrial fluid systems
• Resistant to corrosion and many common chemicals handled in PVC-rated service

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for Schedule 80 PVC piping systems using 1-inch and 3/4-inch pipe sizes joined by solvent-weld methods.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or qualified pipefitter in accordance with local plumbing codes and IPC guidelines. Shut off and depressurize the system completely before cutting into any existing pipe. Use approved PVC primer followed by Schedule 80-rated solvent cement on both the pipe ends and socket interiors. Allow full cure time per cement manufacturer instructions before restoring system pressure.
