Nomaco PEBFRED134 Butt Fusion Reducer 1x3/4 Inch

Product Description

The NOMACO PEBFRED134 is a butt fusion reducer designed for transitioning between pipe sizes in polyethylene piping systems. This fitting connects a 1-inch pipe to a 3/4-inch pipe using the butt fusion joining method, which creates a continuous, leak-resistant joint without mechanical fasteners or adhesives. Butt fusion reducers are standard components in water distribution, irrigation, and underground utility installations where long-term joint integrity is critical. Installation is performed by licensed plumbers or qualified piping contractors familiar with thermoplastic fusion equipment.

This reducer is suited for residential and commercial piping applications where polyethylene pipe changes diameter along a run. Typical install scenarios include water service lines, reclaimed water systems, and agricultural irrigation headers where flow is stepped down from a main trunk to a smaller branch. The 1-inch to 3/4-inch size transition is among the most common reductions in residential water distribution and light commercial service.

Key Features

• Butt fusion joining method produces a homogeneous, fully fused joint
• Reduces from 1-inch to 3/4-inch pipe diameter
• No mechanical fittings, clamps, or solvents required at the joint
• Compatible with standard polyethylene pipe fusion equipment
• Suitable for underground and above-grade PE piping installations

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style butt fusion reducer for polyethylene piping systems requiring a 1-inch to 3/4-inch diameter transition.

Installation Notes

Installation requires a qualified technician with access to properly calibrated butt fusion equipment, including a facing tool and fusion machine set to the correct temperature for the pipe material. Depressurize and isolate the line completely before cutting into any live system. Follow ASTM F2620 or the pipe manufacturer fusion procedures for heat soak time and cooling time. Do not disturb or stress the joint until the fusion bead has fully cooled.
