1" to 1/2" reducer. Why can't I find it?

Eclyps19 · Nov 9, 2022

I'm completely redoing the plumbing in my sump and building out a manifold. I order everything from BRS, I love the colors, everything looks lovely. I decide that I should reduce my manifold to 1/2" because I'm never going to need a full 1", but I cannot for the life of me find a 1" to 1/2" reducer. Could I run up to home depot and find one? Yeah, probably, but not the nice dark gray color that matches ALL of my other connectors. I really want this to match - am I missing it on BRS somewhere? If they don't have any, do you know where I can find one that has the same dark gray color to it?

I feel like it should be here! https://www.bulkreefsupply.com/sche...D=1731&indexName=brs_prod_m2_default_products

Dang, I actually can't find one anywhere. Not even local hardware stores. What gives? How do I get this thing down from 1" to 1/2"?

Try 1” to 3/4” to 1/2”

I bought mine here. Good prices and good selection. The gray ones are scheduled 80.

I might even have one left over. I’ll check at my office tomorrow. If I do, you can have it. :cool:

Homecheapo should have 1in. to 1/2in. reducer in schedule 40 (white). They do near me anyway. You might find schedule 80 (grey) but you’ll have to look in electrical dept.
Would recommend making the body of the manifold larger (1in or at least 3/4) and reduce it coming off for each line. My .02
