Pipe reducer INVENA OZR110, galvanized brass, 1/2" x 3/8"

Reducer INVENA OZR110 is a galvanized brass pipe fitting designed to connect threaded plumbing components of different sizes, converting a 1/2" female or male thread to 3/8" securely. Produced by INVENA, the reducer combines the mechanical strength of brass with a galvanized surface treatment to enhance corrosion resistance, making it suitable for water supply and general plumbing installations where a compact, threaded reduction is required.

Advantages

The galvanized brass construction provides a balance of durability and corrosion protection while maintaining reliable thread engagement between pipes and fixtures. The compact design minimizes space usage in tight installation areas and supports straightforward connection without additional adapters. Its compatibility with standard plumbing threads ensures predictable fit and ease of replacement during repairs or upgrades.

Suitable for

• Connecting domestic water supply lines with differing thread sizes
• Linking fixtures and appliances that require a 1/2" to 3/8" reduction
• Plumbing repair work where a threaded reduction is needed
• Use in concealed or tight installation spaces where compact fittings are required

Key specifications

• Material: brass with galvanized surface treatment
• Thread sizes: 1/2" to 3/8" reduction
• Connection type: threaded pipe fitting
• Typical application medium: potable water and general plumbing fluids
• Form factor: compact inline reducer

How to use

Prepare the mating threads by cleaning and, if necessary, applying appropriate thread sealant or tape compatible with potable water systems. Hand-start the reducer onto the larger thread to ensure correct alignment, then tighten with an appropriate wrench until secure; avoid over-tightening to prevent thread damage. After installation, inspect for leaks under normal operating pressure and make minor adjustments as needed.

Usage recommendations

Use thread sealant materials approved for potable water systems and select appropriate torque to avoid distorting threads. For installations in highly corrosive environments or where galvanic compatibility is a concern, review the entire material combination of connected components. Regularly inspect concealed fittings during maintenance intervals to detect early signs of wear or leakage.
