Reliance Worldwide UXL014128 Reducing Coupling 1.5x1 in

Product Description

The RELIANCE WORLDWIDE UXL014128 is a push-to-connect reducing coupling designed for fast, tool-free pipe connections in residential and light commercial plumbing systems. Built on the SharkBite push-fit platform, this fitting joins pipe of two different diameters without soldering, crimping, or specialized tools. At 0.63 pounds, it is compact and easy to handle in tight spaces. Plumbers and water service techs rely on this type of fitting when time matters and open-flame work is not practical or permitted.

This reducing coupling is suited for water supply line repairs and installations where a 1.5-inch line transitions to a 1-inch line. Typical applications include residential potable water systems, hydronic heating branch lines, and retrofit work in finished spaces. The push-to-connect design allows single-technician installation in confined areas such as crawl spaces, wall cavities, and mechanical closets.

Key Features

• Push-to-connect design requires no solder, clamps, or specialty tools
• Reduces from 1.5 inches to 1 inch in a single fitting
• Lightweight at 0.63 pounds for easy one-hand handling
• Compatible with the SharkBite push-fit system for consistent, repeatable connections
• Suitable for use in tight or confined installation spaces

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style push-to-connect reducing coupling for use in residential and light commercial water supply plumbing systems requiring a 1.5-inch to 1-inch diameter transition.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed plumbers or qualified pipefitters. Shut off the water supply and relieve line pressure completely before cutting into any existing pipe. Ensure pipe ends are cut square, deburred, and clean before inserting into the fitting to the marked depth line. Verify the connection meets local plumbing code requirements, including applicable IPC or local jurisdiction standards, before restoring flow.
