Overview

The ABB REC42SA-G PVC Coated Reducer Coupling (SKU: REC42SA-G) is a high-performance aluminum fitting designed for connecting threaded conduit systems of differing diameters in industrial, commercial, and hazardous locations. This reducer coupling features a large hub size of 1-1/4 inches (35 metric) and a small hub size of 3/4 inches (21 metric), enabling seamless integration between conduit sizes in electrical and mechanical piping systems. Constructed from durable aluminum with a double-coat PVC exterior finish, the REC42SA-G provides exceptional corrosion resistance and mechanical strength. The nominal 0.040-inch (40 mil) PVC coating is bonded to the exterior for long-term protection against moisture, chemicals, and abrasion, while the nominal 0.002-inch (2 mil) blue urethane interior coating prevents wire damage during installation and pulling operations. Integral bushings in both ends prevent wire abrasion and ensure smooth conduit transitions. Certified for use in hazardous and non-hazardous locations, this coupling meets UL 886 and CSA C22.2 No. 30 standards. It is rated for Class I, Divisions 1 and 2, Groups C and D; Class II, Divisions 1 and 2, Groups E, F, and G; and Class III environments, making it suitable for oil & gas, chemical processing, manufacturing, and other demanding applications. The gray finish ensures professional appearance and visibility in industrial settings. Ideal for joining 1-1/4" and 3/4" threaded heavy-wall conduit systems, the REC42SA-G replaces standard couplings and reducers in installations requiring size transitions. All hubs feature NPT threads with a minimum of five full threads for secure, leak-proof connections. The funnel-shaped interior guides wires from larger to smaller conduit, simplifying wire pulling and reducing installation time. Backed by ABB Installation Products, a leader in electrical and mechanical infrastructure solutions, the REC42SA-G delivers reliable performance and long service life in harsh environments. Trust ABB for dependable fittings that meet stringent industry standards and project requirements.
