Overview

The ABB 040-1245 Male Enlarger is a precision-engineered threaded reducer designed to transition between 1/2-inch male and 3/4-inch female pipe threads. This 25-piece bulk pack provides cost-effective versatility for plumbing, electrical conduit systems, and industrial piping applications where thread size adaptation is required. The reducer features durable forged brass construction with parallel threads meeting ASME B1.20.1 standards, ensuring leak-proof connections in both wet and dry environments. Compatible with standard Schedule 40/80 PVC, steel, and copper piping, it supports pressures up to 300 PSI at 73°F (23°C) and temperatures from -40°F to 212°F (-40°C to 100°C). Ideal for retrofitting existing systems, new installations, or maintenance projects where space constraints limit component options. Each piece includes a hex head for easy installation with standard wrenches, eliminating the need for additional adapters in most configurations. The UNSPSC 39121420 classification confirms its suitability for electrical conduit systems and plumbing fittings.
