Product Description

Ashirvad Flowguard Plus CPVC Reducer Coupler enables seamless transitions between different pipe sizes in CPVC plumbing systems. This precision-molded fitting features two socket connections of different diameters, allowing you to reduce from a larger main line to a smaller branch or fixture supply line. The gradual internal taper ensures smooth water flow without turbulence or excessive pressure drop at the transition point.

Manufactured from high-grade CPVC compound with FlowGuard Gold technology, this reducer coupler maintains full pressure rating across both socket sizes. The fitting is essential for optimizing pipe sizing throughout a plumbing system, using larger pipes for main distribution and smaller pipes for individual fixtures to balance flow rates and material costs. Compatible with all Ashirvad Flowguard Plus CPVC pipes when installed with recommended solvent cement.

Recommended Applications

• Main to Branch Reduction: Reducing from 25mm main line to 20mm or 15mm branch lines for individual fixtures
• Fixture Supply Lines: Transitioning from larger distribution pipes to smaller fixture connection sizes
• Flow Optimization: Balancing flow rates by using appropriate pipe sizes for different sections
• Geyser Connections: Reducing pipe size from main hot water line to individual geyser connections
• Multi-Fixture Distribution: Creating properly sized branch lines from main distribution pipes
• Renovation Projects: Connecting new smaller pipes to existing larger diameter systems

Installation Guidelines

FAQs

1) What sizes are available in CPVC reducer couplers?

Common CPVC reducer coupler sizes include 25mm x 20mm (1" x 3/4"), 25mm x 15mm (1" x 1/2"), 20mm x 15mm (3/4" x 1/2"), and other combinations. The first size is the larger socket, the second is the smaller socket. Always verify the reducer size matches your specific pipe diameters before installation.

2) Can I use a reducer coupler to increase pipe size?

While physically possible, reducer couplers are designed for size reduction, not expansion. For increasing pipe size, the fitting is typically called a "reducer" or "increaser" and may have different flow characteristics. In most plumbing systems, pipe size reductions are more common as you move from main lines to branch lines and fixtures.

3) Will a reducer coupler affect water pressure?

A properly sized reducer coupler causes minimal pressure drop due to its gradual internal taper. However, reducing pipe size does increase flow velocity, which can slightly affect pressure. For optimal performance, size reductions should be gradual (e.g., 1" to 3/4" rather than 1" to 1/2") and placed strategically in the system.

4) How do I know which end is which on a reducer coupler?

The larger socket opening is clearly visible compared to the smaller one. When ordering, the size is typically written as "large x small" (e.g., 3/4" x 1/2" means 3/4" socket on one end, 1/2" socket on the other). Always dry-fit pipes before cementing to verify correct orientation.

5) Can I use multiple reducer couplers in series?

While possible, avoid using multiple reducers in close succession as this creates excessive turbulence and pressure drop. If significant size reduction is needed, use one appropriately sized reducer or space multiple reducers several feet apart. For complex sizing requirements, consult plumbing design guidelines or use gradual reductions with proper spacing.
