Description
PVC Reducing Insert Couplings
PVC Reducing Insert Couplings connect compatible insert piping of different nominal sizes. Each coupling features a larger insert connection on one end and a smaller insert connection on the opposite end, providing a transition between two pipe sizes.
These Tigre DuraPlastic couplings are manufactured from PVC Type 1, Grade 1 material as defined by ASTM D1784. They meet or exceed ASTM D2609 performance specifications and are NSF-approved for potable water service. Nine reducing size configurations are available.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a PVC reducing insert coupling?
A reducing insert coupling connects compatible insert piping with different nominal sizes. Both ends have insert connections, with one end larger than the other.
How are the connection sizes listed?
Sizes are listed as Larger Insert x Smaller Insert. For example, a 1" x 3/4" coupling connects 1" nominal insert piping to 3/4" nominal insert piping.
What sizes are available?
Available configurations include 3/4" x 1/2", 1" x 1/2", 1" x 3/4", 1" x 7/8", 1-1/4" x 1", 1-1/2" x 3/4", 1-1/2" x 1", 1-1/2" x 1-1/4", and 2" x 1-1/2".
What material are these couplings made from?
PVC Type 1, Grade 1 material as defined by ASTM D1784.
What performance standard applies?
These fittings meet or exceed ASTM D2609 performance specifications.
Are these couplings suitable for potable water service?
Yes. These PVC insert fittings are NSF-approved for potable water service.
Can these couplings be used with compressed air or gases?
No. Do not use these fittings with compressed air or gases. Do not test PVC piping systems using compressed air or gases.
Important Ordering & Safety Notes
Ordering: Select the correct nominal insert connection sizes. Each coupling features a larger insert connection and a smaller insert connection.
Connection Compatibility: Verify compatibility with both piping connections before ordering.
Compressed Air and Gases: Do not use these fittings for compressed air or gases. Do not test PVC piping systems with compressed air or gases.
Fluid Compatibility: Do not use with liquids not recommended by Tigre.
Warranty: Modification of the fittings voids the manufacturer's warranty. Specifications are subject to change without notice.
