Charlotte Pipe Pvc 02112 1600HA Pvc Reducer Bushing 3/4x1/2

Product Description

The CHARLOTTE PIPE FOUNDRY CO. PVC 02112 1600HA is a white PVC reducer bushing designed to reduce pipe size from 3/4 inch male thread to 1/2 inch female thread. This fitting is a Schedule 40 PVC threaded bushing used in low-pressure piping systems where a transition between two different pipe diameters is required. It meets ASTM D 2466 requirements, confirming compliance with dimensional and material standards for PVC pressure fittings. Licensed plumbers and irrigation contractors install this bushing as a straightforward threaded connection requiring no solvent welding at the joint itself. The package quantity is 25 pieces per unit.

This reducer bushing is commonly used in residential and commercial sprinkler and irrigation systems where supply lines must step down from a 3/4 inch main to a 1/2 inch branch or lateral. It is also appropriate for general-purpose cold water plumbing applications where a male-to-female threaded size reduction is needed inline. The white PVC construction resists corrosion and is well suited for buried or exposed installations in non-UV-critical environments. Irrigation technicians and plumbers will find this fitting a standard component in zone manifold assemblies and lateral connections.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed plumbers or irrigation contractors. Shut off water supply and depressurize the line before making any threaded connections. Apply thread sealant tape or pipe dope rated for PVC to the male threads before assembly — do not overtighten, as PVC threads can crack under excessive torque. Follow applicable plumbing codes such as the IPC or local irrigation standards for pressure ratings and burial depth requirements.
