Value Collection 15285 Pvc Reducing Coupling 1x3/4 in Sch 40

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 15285 is a Schedule 40 PVC reducing coupling designed to join two different pipe sizes in a single inline fitting. It connects 1-inch pipe on one end to 3/4-inch pipe on the other using slip-style socket connections, making it a standard choice for low-pressure cold and hot water distribution, irrigation lines, and drain systems. Fabricated from PVC, this coupling resists corrosion, chemical attack, and scale buildup common in potable water and light industrial piping. Plumbers and pipefitters install this type of fitting where a pipe run changes diameter without requiring a union or offset.

This reducing coupling is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing applications where a pipe run steps down from 1 inch to 3/4 inch. Typical install scenarios include supply line transitions, irrigation manifold branches, and pool or spa return line modifications. The slip end connection type accepts solvent-welded joints, keeping the installation straightforward and leak-resistant when prepared and primed correctly per the fitting manufacturer and applicable plumbing code requirements.

Key Features

• Reduces 1-inch pipe to 3/4-inch pipe in a single fitting
• Schedule 40 wall thickness rated for standard residential and light commercial service pressures
• Slip end connections on both sides for solvent-cement installation
• PVC construction resists corrosion, scale, and common chemical exposure
• Compact form factor for tight inline transitions

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style drop-in replacement for Schedule 40 PVC reducing couplings in standard slip-connect plumbing systems sized at 1 inch by 3/4 inch.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed plumbers or qualified pipefitters following local plumbing codes and ASTM D2466 standards for Schedule 40 PVC fittings. Shut off and depressurize the water supply line before cutting into any existing piping. Clean and deburr pipe ends, apply PVC primer, then solvent cement per the cement manufacturer instructions before assembling. Do not apply heat or use with steam lines or systems that exceed the rated temperature and pressure limits of Schedule 40 PVC.
