Midland Industries 829211 Reducer Slip Coupling Sch 80 Pvc

Product Description

The MIDLAND INDUSTRIES 829211 is a Schedule 80 PVC reducer slip coupling designed to connect two different pipe sizes in a single inline fitting. It accepts a 1-1/2 inch female socket on one end and a 1 inch female socket on the other, allowing a straight reduction without additional adapters. Schedule 80 PVC construction provides heavier wall thickness compared to Schedule 40, making it suitable for higher-pressure and industrial plumbing applications. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this fitting in process piping, chemical lines, and pressure-rated fluid distribution systems where solvent-cement socket connections are standard practice.

This reducer slip coupling is used in residential and commercial plumbing systems, as well as industrial process lines where PVC pressure fittings are specified. Its socket-by-socket configuration is compatible with Schedule 80 PVC pipe solvent-welded assemblies. Typical installation scenarios include branch reductions in water distribution, irrigation manifolds, and chemical handling systems requiring corrosion-resistant, pressure-rated fittings. The fitting is categorized under Schedule 80 PVC slip couplings and reducers for straightforward specification and procurement.

Key Features

• Reduces from 1-1/2 inch to 1 inch in a single inline fitting
• Female socket on both ends for solvent-cement connections
• Schedule 80 PVC construction with heavier wall thickness for higher-pressure service
• Corrosion-resistant PVC material suited for water, irrigation, and compatible chemical service
• Compact profile at 3.55 inches length and 0.345 pounds

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard fitting for Schedule 80 PVC pressure piping systems using 1-1/2 inch and 1 inch pipe with solvent-cement socket connections.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a licensed plumber following applicable IPC or local plumbing code requirements. Shut off and depressurize the system completely before cutting into any existing line. Use a PVC-rated primer and Schedule 80-compatible solvent cement; apply to both the pipe end and the socket, then seat firmly and hold for the manufacturer-recommended cure time before restoring pressure. Do not use this fitting on systems conveying fluids outside the chemical compatibility range of PVC.
