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

1-1/2 inch x 1/2 inch Schedule 40 PVC Reducing Bushing – Engineered for Secure System Integration

The 1-1/2 inch x 1/2 inch Schedule 40 PVC Reducing Bushing is purpose-built to facilitate reliable transitions between pipe diameters in pressure and non-pressure systems. Manufactured to ASTM D2466 specifications, this fitting provides precise dimensional stability and compatibility with standard PVC systems, supporting high-integrity installations across a range of plumbing applications.

Key Features for Demanding Job Sites

• ✅ Schedule 40 Rated: Designed for use in pressure-rated systems up to 140°F (60°C), suitable for cold water lines and select low-temperature applications.
• ✅ Injection-Molded PVC: Provides consistent wall thickness and dimensional tolerance, ensuring tight, uniform solvent weld connections.
• ✅ Corrosion Resistance: Will not rust or degrade from soil chemicals, water exposure, or harsh environments—making it ideal for underground and above-ground use.
• ✅ Reducing Hub x Spigot Configuration: The 1-1/2 inch female hub receives Schedule 40 pipe while the 1/2 inch spigot fits into another fitting, allowing for smooth pipe reduction in compact systems.
• ✅ NSF Certified: Suitable for potable water use and compliant with applicable plumbing code requirements including ANSI/NSF 14 and 61.

Applications

This reducing bushing is widely used in municipal, residential, and light commercial applications. Common uses include:

• Drainage and vent line reductions where space constraints require a compact transition.
• Low-pressure irrigation systems requiring downsized branch connections.
• Potable water systems where Schedule 40 fittings are specified by code or engineer.

Installation Requirements

This component is designed for solvent-weld (glue-in) installation. Use with appropriate PVC primer and cement per local plumbing codes. Ensure proper alignment and full insertion into socket depth during assembly. For optimal performance, avoid exposure to high-temperature systems or incompatible chemicals.

Specifications

• Material: Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC), white
• Nominal Sizes: 1-1/2 inch x 1/2 inch
• Type: Hub x Spigot (Slip x Spigot)
• Standard Compliance: ASTM D2466, NSF 14 & 61
• Max Working Pressure: Dependent on system design; consult Schedule 40 pressure ratings

Contractor Note

This reducing bushing is optimized for space-conscious transitions in branch piping or system downsizing. It is best used in assemblies requiring corrosion resistance, easy solvent welding, and long-term mechanical stability under moderate pressure conditions.
