Whirlpool 69029108912 Reducing Coupling 3/4 X 1/4 in

Product Description

The WHIRLPOOL 69029108912 is a threaded reducing coupling designed to connect two pipes of different diameters in a single inline fitting. It steps down from a 3/4-inch female thread to a 1/4-inch female thread, allowing a technician to transition between pipe sizes without additional adapters. This type of fitting is a standard component in plumbing, HVAC, and light commercial piping systems where pipe diameter changes are required along a supply or distribution run. Licensed plumbers and HVAC technicians are the primary installers of this fitting.

This reducing coupling is suited for residential and light commercial applications where a threaded connection between 3/4-inch and 1/4-inch pipe is needed. Common install scenarios include water supply lines, refrigerant or compressed-air ancillary lines, and process piping where a diameter reduction is required at a junction point. The fitting accepts standard pipe thread on both ends, making it compatible with conventional iron, brass, or similarly threaded pipe systems.

Key Features

• Steps down from 3/4-inch to 1/4-inch in a single threaded fitting
• Female-threaded on both ends for straight inline installation
• Compact reducing coupling eliminates the need for multiple adapters
• Standard threaded connection compatible with conventional pipe thread systems

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style threaded reducing coupling for plumbing and HVAC piping systems requiring a 3/4-inch to 1/4-inch diameter transition with standard pipe thread connections.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or qualified HVAC technician in accordance with applicable local plumbing codes and the IPC. Shut off and depressurize the supply line completely before removing existing fittings or installing this coupling. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male pipe threads before assembly to ensure a leak-free joint. Do not overtighten threaded connections, as this can crack fittings or distort threads.
