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

1-1/4 inch x 3/4 inch PVC Schedule 40 Bushing – Designed for Precision Pipe Reductions

The 1-1/4 inch x 3/4 inch PVC Schedule 40 Bushing is engineered to provide reliable pipe size transitions in pressure and drainage systems. Made from rigid polyvinyl chloride, this fitting is ideal for applications requiring a durable and corrosion-resistant reducer that maintains performance in both residential and commercial plumbing systems.

Key Advantages

• High-Strength PVC: Fabricated from Schedule 40 PVC for excellent impact resistance and tensile strength in pressurized environments.
• Solvent Weld Hub x Spigot Design: Allows for a secure, chemical-welded connection between 1-1/4 inch and 3/4 inch nominal pipe sizes.
• Corrosion-Resistant: Immune to rust, pitting, and scaling, making it well-suited for water supply and DWV (Drain, Waste, Vent) installations.
• NSF Certified: Complies with NSF 14 and NSF 61 for potable water use and system compatibility.
• Code-Compliant: Manufactured to meet ASTM D2466 standards for PVC fittings in Schedule 40 systems.

Common Applications

This reducer bushing is frequently used in irrigation systems, potable water supply lines, and DWV systems. It allows for a seamless transition between larger and smaller PVC pipe sizes, helping maintain consistent flow rates and structural continuity throughout the system.

Installation Considerations

Solvent cementing is required for installation. Ensure both mating surfaces are clean and dry before applying primer and PVC cement according to ASTM guidelines. Hold the parts in position briefly after joining to allow proper curing. Avoid applying stress to the joint during cure time for optimal performance.

Did You Know?
