Sioux Chief 930-62302001 Hex Barstock Reducing Nipple, 3/4" MIP x 1/2" MIP
The Sioux Chief 930-62302001 Hex Barstock Reducing Nipple is a rough-in fitting designed to join two male iron pipe (MIP) threaded connections of different trade sizes in a single compact piece. This reducing nipple steps from a 3/4" MIP thread on one end down to a 1/2" MIP thread on the other, with an overall length of 1-3/8". The hex-shaped barstock body gives installers a flat gripping surface for a wrench, making it easier to achieve a tight, leak-resistant seal when transitioning pipe sizes behind the wall or under a fixture. It is sold 1 per bag for individual replacement or small job use.
Key Features
- Trade Size: Reduces from 3/4" MIP to 1/2" MIP, letting plumbers transition between two common rough-in pipe sizes without an additional coupling.
- Overall Length: 1-3/8" length keeps the fitting compact for tight install spaces behind walls, under fixtures, or in mechanical rooms.
- Hex Barstock Body: The hex profile provides flat wrenching surfaces so installers can apply consistent torque when threading the nipple into fittings on either end.
- Threaded Connection: Male iron pipe (MIP) threads on both ends allow the nipple to mate directly with standard FIP-threaded fittings, valves, or adapters already in use on the job.
- Reducing Design: Combines a size transition and a connector into one part, reducing the number of fittings needed to complete a rough-in run.
- Single-Unit Packaging: Packaged 1 per bag, making it convenient to stock as a replacement part or pull individually for a service call rather than breaking into a bulk case.

Why Sioux Chief?
Sioux Chief is a trusted name among plumbing contractors for rough-in fittings that hold up to daily jobsite use. The hex barstock construction of this reducing nipple gives installers a reliable wrenching surface for a secure threaded connection, and the compact 1-3/8" length helps it fit into the tight spaces common in rough-in work. Stocking this fitting individually makes it easy to keep the right size on hand for both planned installs and unexpected repairs.

Sioux Chief 930-62302001 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Does the Sioux Chief 930-62302001 reducing nipple have male or female threads on the 1/2 inch end?
Both ends are male iron pipe. The 930-62302001 steps from 3/4 inch MIP down to 1/2 inch MIP, so it threads into female (FIP) ports on both sides, a valve, coupling, or adapter. If the fitting you are connecting to is also male, you need a coupling or a female adapter instead of this nipple.
2) Will this hex nipple thread into a standard 1/2 inch FIP shutoff valve or supply stop?
Yes, provided the valve port is 1/2 inch female iron pipe. The small end is 1/2 inch MIP and the connection type is threaded, so it mates with standard FIP-tapped valves, adapters, and fittings. Dope or tape the threads as you would any iron pipe joint.
3) How long is the 3/4 x 1/2 hex reducing nipple end to end for a tight wall cavity?
Overall length is 1-3/8 inches, which is why it works where a bushing plus a standard nipple would not fit. Measure the space between your two female ports and allow for thread engagement at each end before committing to it behind a wall or under a lav.
4) Should I use a reducing nipple or a reducing bushing to go from 3/4 to 1/2 inch pipe?
A bushing has male threads on the large end and female on the small end, so it drops the size inside an existing female port. The 930-62302001 is male on both ends, which is what you want when you have two female ports of different sizes facing each other and need to join them in one piece. It also eliminates the extra coupling a bushing-plus-nipple combination would require.
5) Can I get a wrench on this reducing nipple, or do I have to grip the threads?
The body is hex barstock, so there are flats in the middle for a wrench. That matters on a reducing nipple, because gripping a close nipple on the threads with pliers deforms them and causes leaks. You can torque it into fittings on either end without marring the pipe thread.
6) Is the Sioux Chief 930-62302001 sold individually or in a bulk pack?
It ships 1 per bag, so you can stock a single piece on the truck for a service call rather than opening a bulk case. For a multi-fixture rough-in you order the quantity you need.
7) What is the Sioux Chief part number and MPN for the 3/4 x 1/2 hex reducing nipple?
Order it as Sioux Chief 930-62302001. That is both the model and the manufacturer part number, and it identifies the 3/4 inch MIP x 1/2 inch MIP hex barstock reducing nipple specifically, not the same-size version.
