Pps 85167 Pipe Reducer 1x1/2 in 304 Stainless Steel Press

Product Description

The PPS 85167 is a 1 x 1/2 inch stainless steel pipe reducer fitting designed for use in press-connect piping systems. Manufactured from 304 stainless steel and fitted with an FKM elastomer seal, this reducer transitions from a 1 inch nominal pipe connection on the fitting end to a 1/2 inch nominal press connection. It carries a pressure rating of 200 psi and a temperature range of 0 to 284 degrees F. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this fitting using a standard press tool, eliminating open flame from the joint-making process. It is imported and distributed under the PPS BuyLine.

This reducer fitting is suited for a broad range of piping applications including compressed air systems, lube oil lines, aeration systems, slurry transfer, sludge handling, and additive injection lines. The press-style end allows fast, tool-driven connections in tight spaces where torch work is impractical or prohibited. The fitting-end connection accepts standard pipe fittings for straightforward integration into existing runs. Its stainless steel construction holds up in corrosive or high-moisture service environments common in mechanical rooms and industrial process lines.

Installation Notes

Installation must be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter using a compatible press tool rated for stainless steel press fittings. Depressurize and drain the line completely before cutting into any existing piping. Verify that the FKM seal is properly seated in the fitting before pressing. Consult local plumbing codes and the applicable edition of the IPC for inspection and approval requirements.
