1-1/4 inch x 3/4 inch PVC Schedule 40 Reducing Bushing Fitting x Female

Schedule 40 PVC Reducing Bushing – 1-1/4 inch x 3/4 inch for Efficient Pipe Transitions

This 1-1/4 inch x 3/4 inch Schedule 40 PVC Reducing Bushing is designed to provide a secure, code-compliant reduction between two nominal pipe sizes in pressure and drainage systems. Its precision-molded construction ensures compatibility with solvent-weld systems and promotes long-term structural integrity in both horizontal and vertical installations.

Manufactured using rigid polyvinyl chloride (PVC), this fitting is resistant to chemical exposure and degradation, making it suitable for use in environments where durability and dimensional stability are critical. Its compact profile and socket design allow for efficient system layout and integration.

Application Advantages

• ✅ Engineered Fit – Manufactured to deliver a tight solvent-weld connection, minimizing risk of joint failure under pressure.
• ✅ Schedule 40 Wall Compliance – Designed to meet ASTM standards for Schedule 40 systems used in cold water distribution and DWV applications.
• ✅ Corrosion and Chemical Resistance – Non-metallic PVC construction withstands a broad range of chemicals without rusting or pitting.
• ✅ Low Thermal Conductivity – Provides insulation against temperature loss in non-pressurized systems.
• ✅ Compact Form Factor – Optimized for limited-space configurations without compromising structural capacity.

Material and Dimensional Specifications

• Material: Rigid PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride)
• Nominal Sizes: 1-1/4 inch x 3/4 inch
• Connection Type: Female socket x socket (reduction)
• Standard Compliance: ASTM D2466, NSF 14/61 certified for potable water

Typical Installations

This reducer bushing is commonly deployed in non-metallic piping systems to downsize runs in cold water distribution lines, vent systems, or gravity-fed drain assemblies. It is compatible with both new construction and retrofits, and it performs reliably in service conditions typical of residential and light commercial projects.

Installation Note

Proper installation includes surface preparation and use of appropriate primer and solvent cement. Joint curing should follow manufacturer and ASTM D2855 guidelines to ensure performance under working pressure and thermal variation.

Material Insight

Schedule 40 PVC offers a cost-effective, lightweight, and low-maintenance solution for non-metallic piping systems. It is widely accepted in code-regulated applications due to its combination of strength, corrosion resistance, and ease of fabrication on-site.

This reducing bushing is a field-tested component for contractors requiring consistent performance and dimensional accuracy in high-integrity piping systems.
