3/4 Inch x 1/2 Inch PVC Schedule 40 Reducing Bushing – Spigot x Slip

This Schedule 40 PVC reducing bushing is designed to reduce a 3/4 inch nominal pipe size to 1/2 inch, allowing for a secure transition within pressure and drainage systems. Manufactured for long-term durability, it is suitable for use in both cold water supply and non-pressurized DWV applications where dimensional consistency and chemical resistance are essential.

Technical Specifications

  • Material: PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride), conforming to ASTM D1784, cell class 12454
  • Size: 3/4 inch Spigot x 1/2 inch Slip
  • Schedule: 40 (standard wall thickness for pressure-rated systems)
  • Temperature Rating: 140°F (60°C) maximum operating temperature
  • Pressure Rating: Suitable for systems up to 358 psi at 73°F (for pressure-rated assemblies only)
  • Standards: Meets or exceeds ASTM D2466 for socket-type fittings
  • Certifications: NSF 14/61 certified for potable water use

Product Features

  • Dimensional Accuracy – Precision molded to maintain tight fit and tolerance consistency in all assemblies
  • Corrosion and Chemical Resistance – Impervious to most acids, alkalis, salts, and other corrosive agents commonly found in plumbing systems
  • Lightweight Design – Reduces handling time on-site and eases overhead or confined-space installation
  • Solvent Weld Joint – Compatible with standard PVC primers and cements to ensure durable, watertight connections

Typical Applications

  • Potable water distribution systems (cold water only)
  • Non-pressure drain, waste, and vent systems (DWV)
  • Irrigation systems, pool piping, and industrial liquid handling

Installation Guidance

Ensure all mating surfaces are clean and dry. Use a two-step solvent weld process—primer followed by cement—per the manufacturer’s recommendations and ASTM D2855 procedures. Avoid overtightening if the fitting is being used in threaded assemblies (only when applicable). Proper curing time is essential before pressurizing the system.

Note:

This bushing is intended for use with Schedule 40 PVC systems only. It is not rated for hot water or compressed air/gas. Do not mix with CPVC components unless verified for compatibility and code approval.
