Charlotte Pipe Pvc 02112 2800HA Pvc Reducer Bushing 1.5x0.5 in

Product Description

The CHARLOTTE PIPE FOUNDRY CO. PVC 02112 2800HA is a white PVC reducer bushing designed to reduce pipe diameter within a run of schedule 40 PVC piping. The bushing features a male thread on the outer end and a female thread on the inner socket, allowing it to be threaded directly into a fitting or valve of the larger size while accepting the smaller pipe on the opposite end. At 1-1/2 inches by 1/2 inches, this configuration handles a significant size reduction in a single fitting. It meets ASTM D 2466 requirements for Schedule 40 PVC pressure fittings and is suited for installation by licensed plumbers and irrigation contractors.

This reducer bushing is used primarily in sprinkler and irrigation system piping where a line must be stepped down from 1-1/2 inch to 1/2 inch pipe. Typical applications include lateral line transitions, valve station outlets, and manifold assemblies in residential and light commercial landscape irrigation systems. Its white PVC construction is appropriate for above-ground and in-ground non-pressure-rated service consistent with ASTM D 2466 Schedule 40 fittings. The package contains 25 pieces, making it practical for contractors stocking fittings for multi-zone irrigation installations.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by licensed plumbers or irrigation contractors. Shut off system water supply and depressurize the line before making any fitting connections. Apply PTFE thread tape or an approved pipe thread sealant to male threads before assembly; do not overtighten threaded PVC fittings as this can crack the fitting. Follow applicable local plumbing codes and ASTM D 2466 guidelines for Schedule 40 PVC threaded joint assembly.
