Nomaco PESFTRED11211234 Socket Fusion Reducing Fitting

Product Description

The NOMACO PESFTRED11211234 is a socket fusion reducing fitting designed for joining polyethylene piping systems where a transition between two pipe sizes is required. This fitting connects a 1.5-inch pipe to a 3-inch pipe using the socket fusion joining method, which creates a permanent, leak-resistant bond without mechanical fasteners or adhesives. It is installed by licensed plumbers and pipefitters working on water distribution, geothermal, or industrial fluid-handling systems that use PE pipe.

This reducing fitting is suited for residential and commercial piping applications where socket fusion joining is the specified connection method. It is used in new construction and retrofit installations where pipe size changes are needed within a PE piping run. The socket fusion process requires compatible fusion tools sized to the specific pipe dimensions of this fitting.

Key Features

• Reduces from 3-inch socket to 1.5-inch socket in a single fitting
• Socket fusion design creates a permanent, monolithic bond with PE pipe
• No mechanical fasteners, clamps, or adhesives required for the joint
• Suitable for water distribution and fluid-handling PE pipe systems

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for polyethylene piping systems using socket fusion joining at the specified 1.5-inch and 3-inch pipe dimensions.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified plumber or pipefitter familiar with socket fusion procedures. Depressurize and drain the piping system fully before cutting into any existing line. Proper socket fusion tooling, including a fusion iron and correctly sized pipe and fitting tools, must be used to achieve a reliable joint. Follow applicable plumbing codes such as the IPC for pressure ratings and burial depth requirements.
