Watts NH-BL-3X1.5-REDUCER – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What size pipe does the Watts NH-BL-3X1.5-REDUCER no hub reducer connect?
It reduces 3 inch to 1-1/2 inch, so it takes a 3 inch no hub run down to a 1-1/2 inch branch or fixture arm. Both ends are no hub, meaning they join with banded no hub couplings rather than threads or solvent weld.
2) Do I need couplings to install a 3x1.5 no hub reducer, or does it come with them?
The Watts Blueline 3x1.5 reducer is the fitting body only. No hub fittings have plain, unhubbed ends, so each joint needs its own no hub coupling with a shielded band and gasket, sized to the pipe at that end (one 3 inch, one 1-1/2 inch). Order those separately.
3) Does the Watts NH-BL-3X1.5-REDUCER meet Buy American Act requirements for a federal job?
No. The Watts Blueline 3x1.5 no hub reducer is recorded as not Buy American Act compliant, so it won't satisfy a federal or federally funded project carrying that clause. On those jobs you'll need a domestically produced no hub reducer instead.
4) Is this no hub reducer for pressure piping or drainage?
No hub fittings like the NH-BL-3X1.5-REDUCER are non-pressure DWV components, used on gravity drain, waste and vent lines inside a building. Don't put them on a pressurized water supply line.
5) What exact part number should I order for a Watts Blueline 3 inch by 1-1/2 inch no hub reducer?
Order Watts part NH-BL-3X1.5-REDUCER. That is the single manufacturer number for the Blueline no hub 3 x 1-1/2 reducer, with no finish or configuration options to specify.
