Lasco PVC Insert Reducing Male Adapter - 1in x .75in

Lasco PVC Insert Reducing Male Adapter - 1in x .75in - Step Down with a Threaded Connection

The Lasco PVC Insert Reducing Male Adapter steps down from a 1in barbed insert tubing connection to a .75in male-threaded fitting end. This reducer-adapter combination makes it easy to transition between 1in poly tubing and a .75in female-threaded port in cold water irrigation assemblies, manifolds, and hydroponic system plumbing.

Key Features & Benefits

• Reducing design - Transitions from 1in insert barb (tubing side) to .75in male thread (fitting side) in a single piece.
• Insert barb end - Grips the interior of 1in poly tubing for a secure, leak-resistant hold.
• Male thread end - Screws into standard .75in female-threaded valves, manifolds, or fittings.
• PVC construction - Corrosion-resistant and durable for cold water irrigation service.
• Cold water rated - Suitable for drip irrigation, greenhouse, and hydroponic applications.

Who Should Use This

Ideal for irrigation installers and hydroponic growers who need to reduce from 1in poly tubing down to a .75in male-threaded connection at a valve, manifold, or fitting in a cold water system.

Compatibility

For use with 1in polyethylene tubing (insert end) and .75in female-threaded ports (male thread end) in cold water systems only. Not for hot water or pressurized steam applications or use in a dwelling.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does a reducing male adapter do?

A reducing male adapter connects a larger-diameter tubing (via the insert barb end) to a smaller-diameter male-threaded fitting end, allowing you to step down sizes at a threaded connection point.

Can this be used with hot water?

No - this adapter is for cold water use only.

What is the insert end size and what is the thread end size?

The insert barb end fits 1in poly tubing; the male thread end is .75in for connecting into .75in female-threaded ports.

Should I use thread tape on the male thread?

Yes - PTFE thread tape on the male threads before installation helps ensure a leak-free connection.
