3/4 inch x 1/2 inch PVC Schedule 40 Bushing – Precision Fit for Reducing Transitions

The 3/4 inch x 1/2 inch PVC Schedule 40 Bushing is engineered to provide a dependable reducing connection between different nominal pipe sizes in non-pressurized and pressurized water distribution systems. This fitting is solvent-welded into a Schedule 40 hub to reduce its outlet diameter, offering a compact and secure transition from 3/4 inch to 1/2 inch PVC pipe.

Constructed from durable polyvinyl chloride (PVC), this bushing is resistant to corrosion, chemical degradation, and scaling, making it suitable for long-term use in both residential and commercial plumbing systems. It is commonly installed in cold-water supply, irrigation, and low-pressure drain applications where size reduction is required within a Schedule 40 system.

Key Features

• Material: Rigid white PVC (polyvinyl chloride)
• Nominal Sizes: 3/4 inch Spigot x 1/2 inch Slip
• Pressure Rating: Up to 450 psi @ 73°F (derated at higher temperatures)
• Connection Method: Solvent-weld (meets ASTM D2466 specifications)
• Certification: NSF certified for potable water use

Installation Guidelines

For best results, use a CPVC/PVC-compatible primer and solvent cement. Ensure that pipe ends and socket surfaces are clean and dry before assembly. Insert the spigot end into a properly sized hub and allow full cure time before pressurization. Do not overtighten or force misaligned piping into place during installation.

Common Applications

• Potable water distribution systems
• Low-pressure irrigation lines
• Residential and commercial branch line reductions
• Cold-water transitions within Schedule 40 assemblies

Did You Know?

Schedule 40 PVC fittings are widely used due to their strength-to-weight ratio and ease of installation. Their chemical resistance makes them ideal for systems exposed to fertilizers, chlorine, or mild acids.

The 3/4 inch x 1/2 inch Schedule 40 PVC Bushing is a cost-effective and efficient solution for size reductions in rigid PVC piping networks. With proven durability and code-compliant performance, this fitting delivers the reliability professionals expect on the job.
