Description
Aluminum Reducing Fitting for PPS Piping Systems
PPS1 MR Aluminum Pipe Reducing Fittings provide a direct transition between two different compatible PPS pipe diameters. The reducing socket design allows a larger PPS pipe run to transition to a smaller pipe size while remaining within the modular 100% aluminum PPS piping system.
Available in seven configurations from 1" x 3/4" through 4" x 3", these fittings are suitable for compatible PPS compressed air, vacuum, and nitrogen piping networks where a reduction in pipe diameter is required.

Why Use a Reducing Fitting?
Transition Between Pipe Sizes
- Connects a larger PPS pipe directly to a smaller pipe
- Provides a purpose-built reduction within the piping network
- Useful when branch or downstream flow requirements permit a smaller pipe size
- Eliminates the need to improvise a pipe-size transition
- Maintains compatibility with the PPS piping system
Modular PPS Installation
- Designed specifically for compatible PPS aluminum pipe
- Part of the 100% aluminum PPS network
- Supports new installations and system modifications
- Useful for main-to-branch transitions
- Available in multiple sequential pipe reductions
Common Applications
Pipe Size Transitions
- Reducing larger main pipe to smaller downstream pipe
- Transitioning to smaller distribution sections
- System extensions and modifications
- Equipment-area piping transitions
- Changes in required pipe capacity
PPS Distribution Networks
- Compressed air distribution
- Industrial vacuum piping
- Nitrogen distribution
- Manufacturing facilities
- Machine shops
- Production and process areas
Selecting the Correct Reducing Fitting
Select the PPS1 MR fitting according to both PPS pipe outside diameters being connected. The first size identifies the larger pipe OD and the second size identifies the smaller pipe OD.
For example, the 2" x 1-1/2" fitting connects compatible 2" PPS pipe to compatible 1-1/2" PPS pipe. Confirm both pipe diameters before ordering.
Installation Considerations
- Confirm both PPS pipe outside diameters before ordering.
- Verify the larger and smaller ends correspond to the intended piping layout.
- Review fitting dimensions when installation clearance is limited.
- Cut pipe square and prepare pipe ends according to PPS installation requirements.
- Keep pipe ends and fitting interiors clean before assembly.
- Use compatible PPS aluminum pipe and system components.
- Support the piping network appropriately around the reduction.
- Do not exceed the published maximum operating pressure of 232 PSI.
- Maintain the system within the published -4°F to 176°F operating temperature range.
- Test the completed piping network before normal operation.
- Installation should be completed by personnel familiar with the piping system and intended service.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a PPS1 MR fitting?
PPS1 MR is an aluminum reducing fitting designed to connect two different compatible PPS pipe outside diameters.
What size reductions are available?
This listing includes 1" x 3/4", 1-1/4" x 1", 1-1/2" x 1-1/4", 2" x 1-1/2", 2-1/2" x 2", 3" x 2-1/2", and 4" x 3" reductions.
Which number represents the larger pipe size?
The first size is the larger PPS pipe OD and the second size is the smaller pipe OD. For example, a 2" x 1-1/2" fitting reduces from 2" pipe to 1-1/2" pipe.
Can these fittings be used in PPS compressed air systems?
Yes, when the selected fitting and PPS piping system are appropriate for the required compressed air operating conditions.
Can these fittings be used with PPS vacuum piping?
They can be incorporated into compatible PPS vacuum piping networks when properly sized and installed for the system requirements.
Can these fittings be used with PPS nitrogen piping?
They can be incorporated into compatible PPS nitrogen piping networks when the system is designed and installed for that service.
What is the maximum operating pressure?
The published maximum operating pressure is 232 PSI.
What is the operating temperature range?
The published operating temperature range is -4°F to 176°F.
Is the reducing fitting made from aluminum?
Yes. PPS1 MR is part of the PPS 100% aluminum network.
How do I choose the correct reducer?
Identify the outside diameter of both PPS pipe sections and select the fitting with the corresponding larger and smaller pipe sizes.
Where can I review the manufacturer's dimensions?
The PPS1 MR specification sheet is linked in the Ask Willy section directly above.
