Fluidra - Male-to-Male Reduction Socket ¾" × ½" for Zodiac Ei2 iQ

Fluidra – Male-to-Male Reduction Socket ¾” × ½” for Zodiac Ei2 iQ

This genuine Fluidra male-to-male (M-M) threaded reduction socket steps down a ¾” male thread to a ½” male thread, providing the correct pipe connection for the flow switch assembly on the Zodiac Ei2 iQ salt chlorinator. It is a small but essential plumbing fitting that ensures a leak-free, correctly sized joint between pipework and the chlorinator’s flow switch during installation or replacement.

Compatibility

This reduction socket is a factory spare part for the Fluidra Zodiac Ei2 iQ 12 salt chlorinator (and compatible Ei2 iQ series models). It is designed specifically for the flow switch plumbing connection. Always cross-reference your unit’s parts diagram before ordering to confirm fitment.

Why Genuine Matters

As an official Fluidra spare part, this socket is manufactured to the exact thread tolerances and material specification of the original component. Using a genuine part prevents thread mismatch, micro-leaks, and premature failure — critical in a salt water environment where even minor seepage can damage surrounding equipment.

Installation

The socket is fitted into the flow switch port during initial chlorinator installation or when replacing a damaged fitting. Wrap male threads with PTFE tape before assembly and tighten to hand-tight plus a quarter turn to avoid over-stressing the fitting. Ensure the system is fully depressurised before working on any plumbing connections.
