Socket Reduction fthd ¾" x ½" ND 14 Bar
Socket Reduction fthd ¾" x ½" ND 14 Bar (Product Code: SLE/WDF/10) is a galvanised malleable iron reducing socket used to join a ¾-inch threaded water pipe to a ½-inch pipe in a straight line. Both ends are internally threaded, one at each nominal size, and the fitting carries a 14 bar pressure rating, so installers use it wherever a feeder narrows to a tap or appliance line. It is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, India.

What Is the Three-Quarter to Half-Inch Reducing Socket Used For?
Water systems usually carry flow in a larger pipe and narrow it close to the point of use. The Socket Reduction fthd ¾" x ½" ND 14 Bar makes that step in a straight run: the ¾" end takes the feeder pipe and the ½" end takes the smaller line that continues to a tap, valve, float valve or wash point. Because it keeps the pipe axis straight, it is neater than combining an elbow or tee with a separate bush.
Fit the larger pipe first and then the smaller, sealing each male thread with tape or jointing compound. A reducing socket is normally installed so that water flows from the larger size to the smaller one, so check the direction before tightening. As with any threaded joint, support the pipes on both sides so the fitting does not carry bending loads.
What to Specify When Ordering
- Confirmation that your feeder is ¾" and the outgoing line ½" nominal diameter GI pipe.
- The quantity required for each installation.
- Companion fittings in either size that should be quoted with it.

Frequently Asked Questions
What sizes does the Socket Reduction fthd ¾" x ½" ND 14 Bar connect?
The Socket Reduction fthd ¾" x ½" ND 14 Bar connects a three-quarter-inch nominal diameter pipe to a half-inch pipe. Each end has an internal female thread, so both pipes need male-threaded ends.
Is the reducing socket galvanised?
Yes. The Socket Reduction fthd ¾" x ½" ND 14 Bar is malleable cast iron, hot-dip galvanised for protection against rust, with threads cut after galvanising so the zinc does not clog them. It is intended for galvanised water pipe.
What pressure is the reducing socket rated for?
The Socket Reduction fthd ¾" x ½" ND 14 Bar is rated for 14 bar, or 200 lb per square inch. Design the whole line so that its working and test pressures stay within this rating.
When should I use a reducing socket rather than a bush?
Use the Socket Reduction fthd ¾" x ½" ND 14 Bar when both pipes have male threads and you want a straight, in-line change of size. A bush suits a different case: reducing an existing female outlet on another fitting.
