When your crews are facing summer heat and tight project deadlines, a lack of heavy duty reducing couplings leads to expensive site revisits and potential turf loss for your clients. Supply shortages often strike when demand is highest, causing delays that frustrate customers and jeopardize your reputation. Planning ahead and securing your inventory now ensures that your projects stay on schedule, allowing you to bypass the stress of back ordered parts and localized stockouts.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Lesso Schedule 40 Reducing Coupling offers superior wall thickness and dimensional consistency compared to off brand or hardware store alternatives. This professional grade fitting reduces labor time by providing a reliable, leak free connection between two different pipe sizes without the need for multiple bushings. By choosing a high density PVC component, you reduce the long term risk of stress cracking under pressure fluctuations. Maintaining a ready supply of these fittings gives your business a competitive edge, as you can complete repairs and system modifications immediately while others are stuck waiting for shipments.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eProduct Specifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSpecification\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eDetail\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHigh Grade Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eConnection Type\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFemale Iron Pipe Thread (FIPT) x Female Iron Pipe Thread (FIPT)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSchedule Rating\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSchedule 40\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eASTM D2466 Standards\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eColor\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWhite\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMax Pressure\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eVaries by size; typically rated for cold water applications\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAvailable Models \u0026amp; Sizes\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eWe stock a wide range of Lesso Schedule 40 reducing configurations to bridge the gap between mainlines and lateral feeds.

Avoid over tightening, as excessive torque can stress the female threads and lead to longitudinal cracks over time. Hand tighten the connection and then turn an additional one to two rotations with a wrench to achieve a water tight seal. Ensure all threads are clean and free of grit before assembly to prevent cross threading and maintain compliance with local plumbing and irrigation codes.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Lesso","offers":[{"title":"3\/4 x 1\/2\"","offer_id":52022973399329,"sku":"430-101","price":7.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"1 x 3\/4\"","offer_id":52022973432097,"sku":"430-131","price":7.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0955\/8458\/3969\/files\/Sch40REDUCINGCOUPLING_FIPTxFIPT__1.png?v=1763663422","url":"https:\/\/asiwsupply.com\/products\/sch40-reducing-coupling-fipt-x-fipt","provider":"ASIW","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
