Nomaco PESFRED1121 Ips Socket Fusion Reducer

Product Description

The NOMACO PESFRED1121 is an IPS socket fusion reducer designed for transitioning between pipe sizes in thermoplastic piping systems. This fitting connects a 1.5-inch pipe to a 1-inch IPS pipe using a heat-fusion joining process that creates a continuous, leak-free bond between components. Socket fusion fittings are a standard choice in polyethylene and polypropylene piping installations where mechanical connections are not suitable. Licensed plumbers and pipe fitters install this type of fitting in both residential and light commercial applications where a permanent, fused joint is required.

This reducer is suited for use in IPS-dimensioned thermoplastic pipe systems requiring a concentric size reduction from 1.5 inches to 1 inch. Typical applications include water service lines, reclaimed water distribution, and chemical transfer piping where socket fusion joining is specified. The fitting is installed using standard socket fusion tooling including a fusion iron, depth gauge, and appropriate socket and spigot tooling inserts sized for each end of the reducer.

Key Features

• Reduces from 1.5-inch IPS to 1-inch IPS in a single fitting
• Socket fusion end connections for a permanent, heat-fused joint
• IPS-dimensioned for compatibility with standard IPS thermoplastic pipe
• Concentric reducer design for in-line installation without offset

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for IPS-dimensioned socket fusion thermoplastic piping systems with a 1.5-inch to 1-inch reduction requirement.

Installation Notes

Socket fusion installation must be performed by a qualified plumber or pipefitter following the pipe manufacturer's fusion procedures and applicable plumbing codes such as the IPC. Depressurize and drain the piping system completely before cutting into any existing line. Use properly sized socket fusion tooling and allow the completed joint to cool undisturbed for the full cure time before returning the system to service. Do not attempt to adjust or stress the joint during the cooling period.
