Bronze Reducing Adapter 1-1/4" x 1
This no-lead bronze reducing adapter connects a 1-1/4 inch female thread to a 1 inch male NPT thread. It is intended for potable water systems where lead-free materials are required by code. Installers working on residential or light commercial plumbing will find it suitable for manifold and valve assemblies.
Replaces Leaded Bronze Fittings
The adapter replaces older leaded bronze or brass reducers in applications that must meet current no-lead standards. The change is worth it when local regulations prohibit leaded alloys in drinking water lines or when a manifold retrofit demands a lead-free transition between differing pipe sizes. It addresses compliance without altering the nominal flow path.
Simple Threaded Installation
Installation uses standard pipe thread sealant or tape on the male NPT end and the corresponding female connection. The most common issue is cross-threading the larger female side when the mating nipple is not started squarely. Over-tightening can stress the bronze body, so hand-tight plus one to two turns with a wrench is the usual practice.
