A slip nut is what draws a slip-joint together and holds a tubular drain connection watertight, and this reducing version threads a 1-1/2" joint down to a 1-1/4" tube so a smaller tailpiece or trap arm can land in a larger fitting. Paired with a beveled washer, the nut compresses the joint by hand and a quarter-turn of pliers for a seal that opens again for service without cutting anything. The chrome-plated finish resists corrosion and matches exposed lavatory and sink drainage. Keeping the common reducing size on the truck saves a second trip when tube sizes do not match.
Key Features:
- Reduces 1-1/2" to 1-1/4" -- Lets a 1-1/4" tube seat in a 1-1/2" slip joint for mismatched sizes.
- Compression Seal -- Draws a beveled washer tight for a watertight, serviceable joint.
- Hand-Tight Plus -- Snugs by hand and a short turn of pliers, no tools to cut or solder.
- Chrome-Plated -- Plated finish resists corrosion and matches exposed drainage.
- Reusable Joint -- Opens again for service and re-seals without replacing the tube.
Where to Use:
- Lavatory drains -- Joining a smaller tailpiece or trap arm into a larger slip fitting.
- Sink waste -- Adapting mismatched tube sizes under kitchen and utility sinks.
- Repair calls -- Carrying the common reducing nut to finish a drain in one visit.
