Charlotte Pipe 439-168 Schedule 40 Pvc Bushing 1-1/4 X 1 Inch Mnpt X Fnpt Pressure Fitting

Product Description

The Charlotte Pipe 439-168 is a Schedule 40 PVC reducing bushing designed for pressure piping systems in plumbing, irrigation, and industrial applications. This bushing features a 1-1/4 inch male NPT (MNPT) end and a 1 inch female NPT (FNPT) end, allowing technicians to reduce pipe size within a threaded system without adding extra fittings or complexity. Made from rigid PVC material, this bushing delivers strong resistance to corrosion, chemical exposure, and scale buildup that commonly affects metal fittings over time. The white PVC construction also makes it easy to identify in the field and inspect visually during installation and maintenance. This fitting measures 1-3/16 inches in length and is manufactured domestically using a precision molding process. Charlotte Pipe engineered this bushing using computer-generated stress analysis to place material reinforcement exactly where stress concentrations are highest. That approach results in a fitting that handles pressure loads reliably over the long service life expected in professional plumbing and water system installations. The Schedule 40 and Standard pressure rating meets the requirements for a wide range of cold water supply, potable water, and industrial fluid piping applications. Plumbers, pipefitters, and irrigation contractors rely on Schedule 40 PVC fittings like the 439-168 when they need a proven, cost-effective solution for threaded pipe connections. The MNPT x FNPT configuration makes this bushing compatible with standard NPT-threaded pipe and fittings, so installation is straightforward. Apply thread sealant tape or compound to the male threads before assembly to ensure a leak-free joint. Charlotte Pipe subjects finished products to verification testing to confirm dimensional accuracy and pressure performance before they leave the facility. This fitting is a direct solution for reducing a 1-1/4 inch threaded port down to a 1 inch threaded connection in any compatible PVC pressure piping system.
