2 inch x 1-1/2 inch PCV Schedule 40 Bushing Fitting x Plastic

2 Inch x 1-1/2 Inch PVC Schedule 40 Bushing – Spigot x Slip Reducing Fitting

The 2 inch x 1-1/2 inch Schedule 40 PVC Bushing is a reducing fitting designed to connect two different nominal pipe sizes within pressure and non-pressure systems. It features a 2 inch spigot end and a 1-1/2 inch socket end, allowing for solvent-welded transitions in systems where pipe downsizing is required.

Material Specifications and Standards

This fitting is manufactured from rigid polyvinyl chloride (PVC) that meets or exceeds ASTM D1784 Cell Class 12454. It is designed for use in systems constructed with Schedule 40 PVC piping. The fitting complies with dimensional standards per ASTM D2466.

• ✅ Material: PVC (Type I, Grade I)
• ✅ Pressure Rating: Up to 140 PSI at 73°F (dependent on pipe configuration and installation)
• ✅ Connection Type: 2 inch spigot x 1-1/2 inch socket (solvent weld)
• ✅ Standards: ASTM D2466, NSF 14 certified for potable water and DWV applications

Application Scope

This bushing is suitable for use in residential, commercial, and industrial systems including cold potable water lines, non-pressurized drains, vent stacks, and irrigation networks. It is intended for above-ground or underground use in accordance with local plumbing and mechanical codes.

Installation Considerations

Install using approved solvent cement and primer in accordance with the manufacturer's recommendations and applicable codes. Dry fitting should be done prior to applying adhesive to ensure proper alignment. The joint must be fully seated and held in place until initial set occurs.

• ✅ Solvent Cement Required: Use primer and cement listed for PVC Schedule 40 connections
• ✅ Alignment: Proper axial alignment is critical to minimize stress on the joint
• ✅ Inspection: Allow full cure time prior to pressure testing or backfilling

Key Advantages

• ✅ Rigid Structural Integrity: Maintains dimensional stability under normal system pressures
• ✅ Corrosion Resistant: Non-metallic material resists scaling, rust, and chemical degradation
• ✅ Dimensional Accuracy: Tight tolerances ensure consistent fit with Schedule 40 pipe and fittings

Common Use Cases

Typically used in pipe reduction configurations where a 2 inch line must be reduced to 1-1/2 inch. Applications include waste stack offsets, appliance branch drains, condensate lines, and utility piping requiring compact transitions.

The 2 inch x 1-1/2 inch PVC Schedule 40 Bushing is a code-compliant, solvent-welded solution for size transitions in rigid plastic piping systems. Its compatibility, strength, and corrosion resistance make it a dependable component for high-performance plumbing and mechanical installations.
