Poly Reducing Coupling – Black Polyethylene (PE)
Black Polyethylene Reducing Couplings (sockets) are designed to connect BSP threaded pipes or fittings of different sizes securely. Manufactured from high-quality polypropylene, these fittings are durable, lightweight, and resistant to corrosion, chemicals, and UV exposure—ensuring long-lasting performance for both plumbing and irrigation systems.
Made to AS/NZS 4020 standards, these reducing couplings are suitable for residential, commercial, and irrigation applications. Many brands also hold WaterMark approval, ensuring compliance with Australian plumbing regulations.
