Philmac Reducing Coupling IPS-OD (ASTM D3035)

Philmac Reducing Coupling IPS-OD (ASTM D3035)

The Philmac Reducing Coupling provides a reliable way to connect two different sizes of IPS-OD polyethylene (HDPE) pipe within the same water system. With compression connections on both ends, it creates a smooth transition from a larger poly water line to a smaller line without gluing, threading, or heat fusion.

It is especially useful in rotational grazing and livestock watering systems where a larger main water line branches or reduces down to a smaller line supplying individual paddocks or water troughs.

Key Features

Reduces Between Pipe Sizes: Connects two different sizes of compatible HDPE/polyethylene pipe.

Compression × Compression: Provides a secure mechanical connection on both ends.

230 PSI Rated: Suitable for water systems operating at pressures up to 230 PSI.

NSF 61 Certified: Suitable for potable water applications.

ASTM D3035 IPS-OD Compatible: Designed for compatible IPS-OD polyethylene pipe manufactured to ASTM D3035.

No Glue or Heat Fusion: Compression installation eliminates the need for solvent cement or specialized fusion equipment.

Ideal for Grazing Water Systems: Makes it easy to transition from larger main lines to smaller distribution or trough supply lines.

Easy System Expansion: Useful when designing, modifying, or expanding existing HDPE water networks.
