Nomaco PESFRED11434 Ips Socket Fusion Fitting

Product Description

The NOMACO PESFRED11434 is a 1-1/4 inches by 3/4 inches IPS socket fusion fitting designed for joining polyethylene piping systems using the socket fusion welding method. This fitting creates a permanent, leak-resistant connection by thermally bonding pipe ends inside the fitting's socket. It is a standard IPS-dimensioned component suited for use in water distribution, geothermal, and underground utility piping systems. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters typically install this fitting using socket fusion tooling matched to the pipe dimension.

This fitting is intended for use in residential and light commercial piping applications where polyethylene pipe is the specified material. The 1-1/4 inches inlet reduces to a 3/4 inches outlet, making it appropriate for branch transitions or supply line reductions within a PE piping system. It follows IPS sizing standards, which are compatible with iron-pipe-size-dimensioned polyethylene pipe stock available through standard trade supply channels.

Key Features

• Socket fusion design creates a permanent, thermally bonded connection without adhesives or mechanical fasteners
• IPS-dimensioned sockets accept standard iron-pipe-size polyethylene pipe
• 1-1/4 inches inlet to 3/4 inches outlet configuration supports in-line diameter reductions
• Suitable for underground and buried piping installations typical of PE distribution systems

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard component for IPS-dimensioned polyethylene piping systems using socket fusion joining methods.

Installation Notes

Installation requires a licensed plumber or pipefitter experienced with socket fusion tooling and procedures. Before installation, depressurize and drain the piping system completely. Use socket fusion tools sized and calibrated for 1-1/4 inches and 3/4 inches IPS pipe to ensure proper melt and joint integrity. Follow applicable plumbing code requirements, including IPC guidelines, for buried or pressurized PE piping installations.
