Charlotte Pipe 9782 Pvc Sch 40 Bushing 3 X 2-1/2 Inch

Product Description

The CHARLOTTE PIPE 9782 is a Schedule 40 PVC flush bushing designed to reduce a 3-inch spigot connection down to a 2-1/2-inch socket connection in pressurized liquid distribution systems. Manufactured domestically from rigid PVC, this bushing carries a 150 psi pressure rating and is rated for service up to 140 degrees F. At 2.25 inches in length, it installs directly into existing socket fittings and accepts standard spigot ends without additional adapters. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters use this fitting in commercial and residential supply lines where a concentric reduction between adjacent pipe sizes is needed within a straight run.

This bushing is suited for pressurized liquid distribution in residential and light commercial plumbing systems. The spigot x socket end configuration allows it to seat inside a full-size socket fitting while accepting the next pipe size down, making it a compact alternative to a reducing coupling in tight spaces. It is appropriate for cold and hot water supply lines within its rated temperature range. The SCH 40 wall thickness makes it compatible with standard Schedule 40 PVC pipe and fittings throughout the system.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with the International Plumbing Code and applicable local codes. Depressurize and drain the affected line completely before cutting into any existing piping. Use PVC primer and solvent cement rated for Schedule 40 fittings, and allow full cure time before restoring pressure. This fitting is rated for pressurized liquid distribution only and is not listed for use with compressed air or gas.
