Nomaco PESFRED234 Ips Socket Fusion Reducer 2x3/4 in

Product Description

The NOMACO PESFRED234 is a 2-inch by 3/4-inch IPS socket fusion reducer designed for transitioning between pipe sizes in polyethylene and thermoplastic piping systems. This fitting uses the socket fusion joining method, which creates a permanent, leak-resistant joint without mechanical fasteners or solvents. It is sized to the IPS (Iron Pipe Size) standard, making it compatible with standard-dimension thermoplastic pipe of the corresponding sizes. Plumbers and pipefitters install this type of reducer wherever a piping run steps down from a 2-inch main to a 3/4-inch branch or service line.

This reducer is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing, irrigation, and industrial fluid-handling applications where socket fusion fittings are specified. It is used in systems built with IPS-dimensioned polyethylene or polypropylene pipe. Typical install scenarios include potable water distribution, geothermal loop piping, and reclaimed water systems where a reliable, fused joint is required at a pipe-size transition point.

Key Features

• 2-inch inlet by 3/4-inch outlet IPS socket fusion configuration
• Socket fusion joining method provides a permanent, pressure-rated bond
• IPS dimensioning ensures compatibility with standard thermoplastic pipe
• No solvents, glues, or mechanical clamps required for installation

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard-fit component for IPS-dimensioned socket fusion piping systems requiring a 2-inch to 3/4-inch reduction.

Installation Notes

Socket fusion fittings are installed by licensed plumbers or pipefitters using a socket fusion tool set to the temperature specified for the pipe material being used. Shut off and depressurize the piping system completely before cutting or joining any section. Pipe ends and fitting sockets must be clean, dry, and free of debris before heating to ensure a sound fusion bond. Follow applicable plumbing code requirements, including IPC guidelines, for fusion joint procedures and pressure testing after installation.
