UltraZap Hosetail Reducer 50mm

UltraZap Hosetail Reducer 50mm

The UltraZap Hosetail Reducer 50mm is a pipe reducer for stepping a 50mm pipe fitting down to a smaller diameter. It suits pond keepers and DIY plumbers who need to match mixed pipe sizes in a pond filter or pond plumbing setup.

Key Benefits

• One fitting covers several pipe sizes: 40mm, 32mm, 25mm, 20mm or 16mm.
• You choose the final diameter by cutting the hosetail section at the size you need.
• The adaptable design means you don't need a separate reducer for every pipe size.
• Designed to give a close fit between pipe sizes and support smooth flow through your pond system.

How to Use

• Decide which smaller diameter you need: 40mm, 32mm, 25mm, 20mm or 16mm.
• Cut off the hosetail section at that diameter.
• Use PVC pipe glue to attach your pipe to the reducer. This is the recommended way to get a secure, leak-free connection.

Suitable For

• Pond filter plumbing where a 50mm fitting must connect to smaller pipework.
• Pond systems that combine different pipe diameters.
• Anyone who wants one adaptable reducer rather than several fixed-size fittings.

Compatibility

Frequently Asked Questions

What sizes can I reduce this fitting down to?
You can reduce it from 50mm to 40mm, 32mm, 25mm, 20mm or 16mm by cutting off the hosetail section at the diameter you need.

How do I get the smaller size?
Cut the hosetail section at the desired diameter. That cut sets the final size of the reducer.
