PVC-U Reducing Socket – Aquarium Pipe Reducer
Connect different sizes of rigid PVC-U pipework with our PVC-U Reducing Sockets. These compact, durable fittings provide a secure, permanent solution for adapting pipe sizes in marine and freshwater aquarium plumbing systems.
Adapt Your Aquarium Plumbing
Reducing sockets are ideal for connecting different pipe diameters when constructing or modifying aquarium filtration systems.
They are particularly useful for sump installations, return pump plumbing, overflow pipework and custom aquarium setups where a change in pipe size is required.
Compact, Durable Construction
Manufactured from corrosion-resistant PVC-U, these fittings are suitable for freshwater and marine aquarium applications.
Their compact design allows pipe sizes to be adapted without unnecessarily bulky connections, making them useful where plumbing space is limited.
Secure Solvent-Weld Connection
These reducing fittings feature a solvent-weld spigot and socket arrangement, allowing compatible PVC-U plumbing components to be permanently joined.
Use a suitable PVC-U solvent cement and ensure all connecting surfaces are correctly prepared. Allow the joint to cure fully according to the adhesive manufacturer's instructions before introducing water.
