Brass Reducer FERRO R05Z 1 1/4" x 1" connection

FERRO R05Z 1 1/4" x 1" brass reducer is a threaded pipe fitting designed to join components with different diameters. Manufactured from brass, it provides corrosion resistance and mechanical durability for plumbing, heating and water supply systems. The fitting offers a straightforward threaded transition that enables reliable connection between 1 1/4" and 1" threaded parts without the need for welding or soldering.

Advantages

The brass construction ensures resistance to corrosion and scaling while maintaining mechanical strength under typical domestic and commercial service conditions. The threaded design simplifies installation and removal, allowing fast adjustments or replacements. Its compact form factor requires minimal space in piping runs and supports both down- and upsizing of connections without modifying existing pipework.

Suitable for

• Plumbing repairs and new domestic water installations
• Heating system connections and radiator link-ups
• Adapters between different threaded fittings and valves
• Small commercial piping and service lines

Key specifications

• Material: brass for corrosion resistance and mechanical durability
• Connection type: threaded male–female reducer
• Thread sizes: 1 1/4" to 1" (imperial pipe thread diameters)
• Application: potable water, heating and general plumbing systems
• Design: compact, inline reducer suitable for confined spaces

How to use

Prepare both mating threads by cleaning and, if recommended for the system, apply an appropriate thread sealant or tape rated for potable water and heating systems. Hand-start the fitting to avoid cross-threading, then tighten with suitable wrenches until a leak-tight connection is achieved. Do not overtighten; follow torque guidance for brass fittings if available. After installation, pressurize the system and inspect for leaks at operating pressure.

Usage recommendations

Use compatible thread sealants or PTFE tape approved for drinking water when connecting to potable systems. Avoid use in applications with aggressive chemicals or extremely high temperatures beyond typical domestic heating ranges. Inspect threads for damage before installation and replace the reducer if signs of wear or deformation are present.
