The Dura 3/4" x 1" Reducing Male Adapter is a specialized Schedule 40 PVC fitting designed to bridge the gap between different pipe sizes and connection types. It features a 3/4" Male Pipe Thread (MIPT) on one end and a larger 1" Slip (Socket) connection on the other, allowing you to seamlessly adapt a threaded component to a larger solvent-welded pipe run.
Ideal for irrigation manifolds, pump connections, and complex system layouts, this adapter eliminates the need for multiple bushings by combining size reduction and thread adaptation into a single, compact unit. Manufactured from high-quality, chemical-resistant PVC, it ensures a durable, leak-free connection compatible with all standard PVC Fittings.
Confirm your sizing and thread types.

Proper installation ensures a leak-proof system for years to come.
Step 1: Prepare the Pipe
Cut your 1" PVC pipe squarely and remove any burrs. Clean the pipe end and the inside of the adapter's Slip socket with a clean rag.
Step 2: Prime and Glue
Apply PVC Primer to both surfaces to clean and soften the PVC. Then, apply PVC Cement to both the outside of the pipe and the inside of the adapter's socket. Push the fitting onto the pipe, twisting a quarter turn to spread the glue, and hold for 30 seconds.
Step 3: Prepare Threads
Wrap the 3/4" MIPT threads with Thread Seal Tape (Teflon tape). Wrap 3-4 times in a clockwise direction.
Step 4: Tighten
Screw the threaded end into your 3/4" female fitting (FIPT). Hand-tighten firmly, then use pliers or a wrench to turn it an additional 1-2 turns. Avoid overtightening, as this can crack PVC fittings.
Check your sizes carefully:
Ensure a successful installation with these essentials:
