1-1/4 inch x 1 inch PVC Schedule 40 Bushing Fitting x Plastic

1-1/4 inch x 1 inch Schedule 40 PVC Reducing Bushing – Socket x Spigot Transition Fitting

The 1-1/4 inch x 1 inch Schedule 40 PVC Reducing Bushing is designed to provide a durable and dimensionally stable transition between larger and smaller diameter solvent-welded PVC piping. It features a spigot x socket configuration and is manufactured in accordance with ASTM D2466 for use in non-pressurized and pressurized plumbing systems where reduction in flow diameter is required.

This fitting is molded from rigid polyvinyl chloride (PVC), which offers excellent chemical resistance, mechanical strength, and long-term performance in potable water distribution, drain-waste-vent (DWV), and irrigation systems. Compatible with standard Schedule 40 piping, it is suitable for integration into both horizontal and vertical runs.

Performance Characteristics

• ✅ Connection Type: Spigot x Socket – Solvent weld connection provides permanent mechanical bonding
• ✅ Material: Schedule 40 PVC per ASTM D1784, cell classification 12454
• ✅ Dimensional Accuracy: Machined to meet tolerances set by ASTM D2466 for consistent joint fitment
• ✅ Working Pressure: Up to 150 psi at 73°F when installed in a properly supported system
• ✅ Temperature Range: 33°F to 140°F (non-shock applications)

Installation Requirements

Install in accordance with ASTM D2855 guidelines using a two-step solvent welding process. Surfaces should be clean, square, and free of debris. Proper primer and cement must be used to achieve chemical fusion. Cure times vary by temperature and humidity and must be observed before system pressurization or testing.

Common Applications

Typically used in potable water systems, DWV lines, and process piping that requires a change in diameter while maintaining material continuity. This bushing is frequently employed in manifolds, branch lines, and equipment terminations where space efficiency and structural alignment are critical.

Code Compliance and Material Properties

Manufactured to meet applicable NSF/ANSI 14 and NSF/ANSI 61 standards. PVC Schedule 40 fittings are recognized for their resistance to scaling, corrosion, and microbial attack, making them a preferred choice in regulated plumbing installations across multiple jurisdictions.

The 1-1/4 inch x 1 inch Schedule 40 PVC Reducing Bushing is a field-proven solution for pressure and gravity-fed systems requiring dimensional reduction without compromising structural performance or code compliance.
