Charlotte Pipe Pvc 02108 0700HA Pvc Reducing Bushing 1x1/2 in

Product Description

The CHARLOTTE PIPE FOUNDRY CO. PVC 02108 0700HA is a PVC reducing bushing designed to step down pipe size within a pressurized piping system. The fitting connects a 1-inch spigot end to a 1/2-inch female threaded port, allowing a larger-diameter line to transition to a smaller branch or outlet. Manufactured from white PVC, it meets ASTM D 2466 requirements for Schedule 40 PVC pressure fittings. Plumbers and irrigation technicians install this bushing wherever a size reduction is needed without adding additional coupling hardware. The threaded female end accepts standard male-threaded pipe or fittings.

This reducing bushing is used in sprinkler and irrigation systems where lateral lines or zone headers step down to smaller distribution lines or valve inlets. It is also suitable for general plumbing applications that call for a Schedule 40 PVC spigot-by-female-thread reducing fitting. The spigot end is sized to slip into a standard 1-inch PVC socket fitting, making integration into existing piping straightforward. Sold in packages of 25, it is well suited for contractors completing multi-zone irrigation layouts or rough-in plumbing work requiring multiple size transitions.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by plumbers or irrigation technicians working with Schedule 40 PVC systems. Depressurize and drain the line before cutting into existing piping. The spigot end requires solvent cement applied per the fitting and cement manufacturer instructions; the female threaded end should be joined with thread sealant or PTFE tape on the male threads. Follow all applicable local plumbing codes and ASTM D 2466 installation guidelines.
