Applications
This PVC reducer is perfect for:
- Connecting different pipe sizes in hot tub plumbing systems
- Upgrading or modifying existing hot tub setups
- Integrating new equipment with different pipe size requirements
- Custom hot tub installations
- General pool and spa plumbing projects requiring size transitions
Why Choose This Reducer?
Smooth Flow Transition
The gradual reduction in diameter helps maintain laminar flow, reducing turbulence and potential pressure loss.
Versatile Installation
Can be used in various orientations, allowing for flexibility in your plumbing layout.
Chemical and UV Resistance
The grey PVC material ensures long-lasting performance, even when exposed to hot tub chemicals and outdoor conditions.

Installation Tips
To ensure optimal performance of your PVC reducer:
- Clean and deburr both pipe ends before connection
- Apply appropriate PVC primer and cement to both the reducer and pipe ends
- Insert pipes fully into each end of the reducer, twisting slightly for even cement distribution
- Ensure proper alignment of connected pipes
- Allow sufficient curing time as per the cement manufacturer’s instructions before pressurizing the system
Compatibility
This reducer is designed to work seamlessly with standard 140mm and 125mm PVC pipes commonly used in hot tub and spa systems. Always verify your existing plumbing dimensions to ensure a perfect fit.
Maintenance Advice
To maintain the integrity of your PVC reducer:
- Regularly inspect for any signs of leaks or stress cracks
- Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners when necessary
- Protect from prolonged exposure to direct sunlight when possible
- Ensure proper support for connected pipes to prevent undue stress on the joints
Flow Considerations
While this reducer provides a smooth transition, be aware that any reduction in pipe diameter can affect flow rates and pump performance. Consider consulting with a plumbing professional if you’re unsure about the impact on your system’s hydraulics.
Future-Proofing
If you anticipate future changes to your plumbing system, consider installing unions on either side of the reducer for easier modifications down the line.
By incorporating this 140mm to 125mm Grey PVC Reducer P/P into your hot tub plumbing system, you’re ensuring a professional and efficient transition between different pipe sizes. Whether you’re upgrading your existing setup, integrating new equipment, or designing a custom installation, this reducer provides a reliable solution for connecting 140mm and 125mm PVC pipes in your hot tub plumbing network
