1-1/2 inch x 1-1/4 inch PVC Schedule 40 Bushing Fitting x Female

1-1/2 Inch x 1-1/4 Inch PVC Schedule 40 Flush Bushing for Reducing Hub Connections

This 1-1/2 inch x 1-1/4 inch Schedule 40 PVC bushing is engineered for reducing hub-to-pipe connections in pressurized cold water systems and non-pressurized drain, waste, and vent (DWV) applications. Designed to insert directly into a 1-1/2 inch fitting hub while accepting a 1-1/4 inch spigot or pipe end, this bushing ensures a secure, solvent-welded joint without compromising system integrity.

Product Advantages

• Material: Rigid white PVC (polyvinyl chloride) conforming to ASTM D1784, Cell Class 12454
• Pressure Rating: Suitable for up to 180 psi at 73°F (non-DWV applications), based on system design
• Joint Type: Socket x Spigot reduction; solvent weld installation
• Temperature Range: 33°F to 140°F; not for use with compressed air or gases
• Corrosion Resistance: Immune to most alkalis, acids, and salt solutions commonly found in plumbing systems

Professional Use Cases

• Reducing outlet size in distribution manifolds or branch circuits
• Common in potable water and irrigation systems where downsizing is required
• Applicable in horizontal or vertical DWV stacks for fixture arm transitions
• Compatible with Schedule 40 piping per ASTM D2466 specifications

Installation Notes

Install using approved solvent cement and primer according to ASTM D2855. Ensure all mating surfaces are clean and dry prior to assembly. Hold for 30 seconds to allow initial bond, and follow cure time recommendations based on ambient temperature and pipe diameter.

Certifications

• Meets or exceeds ASTM D2466 for Schedule 40 PVC fittings
• NSF-certified for potable water use (NSF-61 and NSF-14)
• UPC/IAPMO listed for DWV system installations

Additional Technical Detail

This reducer bushing is designed to fit snugly into 1-1/2 inch Schedule 40 socket fittings and accept 1-1/4 inch pipe or spigot fittings. It provides a compact profile compared to reducing couplings, making it suitable for tight-space applications where centerline offsets must be minimized.
