Value Collection 16680 Cpvc Reducing Coupling 1.5x1 in Sch 80

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 16680 is a Schedule 80 CPVC reducing coupling designed to connect pipe runs of two different diameters in a single inline fitting. The larger end accepts 1-1/2 inch pipe and the smaller end accepts 1 inch pipe, both via slip-style socket connections. Manufactured from chlorinated polyvinyl chloride (CPVC), this coupling handles the higher pressures and temperatures that Schedule 80 wall thickness provides. It is a standard component in industrial process piping, chemical distribution, and commercial plumbing systems where corrosion resistance and pressure integrity are required.

This reducing coupling is suited for residential and commercial applications where a pipe run must step down from 1-1/2 inch to 1 inch diameter. Typical install scenarios include branch reductions in process lines, chemical feed systems, irrigation headers, and hot and cold water distribution piping where CPVC is the specified material. The slip end configuration requires solvent cement for a permanent, leak-tight bond.

Key Features

• Schedule 80 wall thickness for higher pressure ratings compared to Schedule 40
• CPVC material provides corrosion resistance suitable for hot water and many chemical services
• Slip end connections on both ends for solvent-cement installation
• Reduces inline from 1-1/2 inch to 1 inch in a single fitting
• Compact inline form factor keeps installation straightforward

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for Schedule 80 CPVC piping systems using 1-1/2 inch and 1 inch nominal pipe sizes with slip end connections.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed plumbers or qualified pipefitters following applicable IPC and local plumbing code requirements. Shut off system pressure and drain the line completely before cutting into an existing pipe run. Both pipe ends must be cut square, deburred, and cleaned before applying CPVC-rated solvent cement; do not use PVC cement on CPVC fittings. Allow full cure time per the cement manufacturer instructions before restoring pressure to the system.
