A PVC Schedule 40 reducer bushing is a pressure pipe fitting that connects two different pipe sizes while redirecting flow from a larger spigot opening to a smaller threaded connection. This Charlotte Pipe bushing reduces 1-1/2-inch spigot openings down to 1-1/4-inch female threaded ports, making it essential for plumbing systems, irrigation networks, sprinkler installations, swimming pool lines, and cold water supply applications where space or flow requirements demand a size transition.
PVC Schedule 40 construction delivers high tensile and impact strength, making it durable and reliable in residential and commercial installations. Unlike foam-core alternatives, Schedule 40 PVC offers superior sound-deadening properties, reducing noise transmission through water lines. The white fitting is designed for potable water applications and conforms to ASTM D 1784, ASTM D 2466, NSF 14, and NSF 61 standards.
Features and Benefits
- Spigot x Thread Design: Connects a 1-1/2-inch spigot opening to a 1-1/4-inch female threaded port for reliable size reduction in pressure systems.
- Certified Performance: Meets ASTM D 1784, D 2466, NSF 14, and NSF 61 standards.
- Sound Deadening: Superior acoustic properties compared to foam-core alternatives reduce water-line noise in residential installations.
- High-Strength Material: PVC Schedule 40 provides excellent tensile and impact resistance for long-lasting durability.
- Pressure Rated: Designed for use in pressure systems up to 140°F and cold water supply lines.
