Charlotte Pipe 438-209 Pvc Schedule 40 Reducer Bushing Flush Style Spigot X Fpt 1.5 Inches X 0.5 Inches

Product Description

The Charlotte Pipe 438-209 is a PVC Schedule 40 reducer bushing in a flush style configuration with a spigot by female pipe thread connection. This fitting is designed to reduce a 1.5 inch pipe opening down to a 0.5 inch female threaded port. It is manufactured from rigid PVC, a material well known for its corrosion resistance, chemical compatibility, and long service life in both residential and commercial plumbing systems. The flush style design means the bushing sits flat inside the fitting socket, creating a clean, low-profile transition between pipe sizes. This is a common choice for plumbers and pipefitters who need a neat, secure reduction without adding unnecessary length to the assembly. The spigot end slides directly into a standard Schedule 40 socket fitting, while the female pipe thread end accepts a male threaded pipe or fitting. Schedule 40 PVC fittings like the 438-209 are rated for use in cold and hot water supply lines, drain waste vent systems, irrigation systems, and industrial fluid handling applications where non-corrosive piping is required. Charlotte Pipe is a trusted name in the plumbing supply industry, producing fittings that meet ASTM standards for dimensional accuracy and pressure performance. Plumbers, contractors, and maintenance professionals rely on PVC Schedule 40 reducer bushings to adapt pipe runs where two different pipe sizes must be joined without the need for additional couplings or adapters. The 438-209 is a straightforward, reliable fitting that simplifies size transitions in tight spaces. Whether used in new construction or repair work, this reducer bushing delivers consistent, leak-free performance when properly solvent welded and threaded according to standard practice.
