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

1-1/4 inch x 1/2 inch PVC Schedule 40 Bushing – Reducing Fitting for Piping Transitions

The 1-1/4 inch x 1/2 inch PVC Schedule 40 Bushing is used to reduce the size of a solvent weld hub connection in piping systems. Constructed from rigid polyvinyl chloride (PVC), this bushing is designed for use in cold water pressure distribution systems, drain, waste, and vent (DWV) piping, and non-pressurized applications where dimensional reduction is needed.

Its compact, one-piece configuration allows for solvent-welded installation into a larger hub fitting, converting it to accept a smaller pipe. This helps streamline transitions without requiring additional couplings or adapters. Schedule 40 wall thickness provides strength suitable for gravity flow or low-pressure service, including irrigation, industrial, and residential applications.

Features and Benefits

• ✅ Solvent Weld Design Ensures secure, chemical-resistant bonds between components with proper primer and cement.
• ✅ Rigid Schedule 40 PVC Offers durability for a wide range of plumbing and construction environments.
• ✅ Precision-Molded Dimensions Allows for consistent fitment and ease of alignment during installation.
• ✅ Corrosion Resistance Inert to most soil conditions, salts, and common acids found in plumbing systems.
• ✅ Non-Metallic Construction Prevents electrolysis or galvanic reaction when used in mixed-material systems.

Technical Specifications

• Nominal Size: 1-1/4 inch x 1/2 inch
• Material: PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride), Schedule 40
• Connection: Spigot x Slip (Spigot fits into a fitting hub; slip accepts a pipe)
• Operating Temperature: Up to 140°F (60°C)
• Pressure Rating: Varies by application; not rated for hot water or compressed air
• Standards: ASTM D2466 compliant; NSF-certified for potable water use where applicable

Installation Guidelines

Cut and deburr pipe ends before assembly. Dry-fit components to ensure alignment. Use a compatible PVC primer and solvent cement following ASTM D2855 standards. Allow full cure time before pressurizing the system. Not for use in hot water systems or areas where pipe deformation may occur due to excessive heat.

Common Applications

Used in municipal, commercial, and residential piping systems for reducing hub-to-pipe transitions. Frequently installed in irrigation setups, vent stack adjustments, and low-pressure liquid handling systems.

Note on Material Performance

Schedule 40 PVC fittings are lightweight and easy to fabricate, yet structurally sound for most non-metallic piping systems. Always confirm chemical compatibility and pressure requirements before use in specialized systems.

Use the 1-1/4 inch x 1/2 inch PVC Schedule 40 Bushing to simplify transitions between pipe sizes and maintain system integrity in compliant installations.
