Charlotte Pipe Pvc 02112 3200HA Pvc Reducer Bushing 1.5x1 in

Product Description

The CHARLOTTE PIPE FOUNDRY CO. PVC 02112 3200HA is a white PVC reducer bushing designed to step down pipe size within a pressurized plumbing or irrigation system. The bushing features a male-threaded end that threads into a female socket fitting, and a female-threaded end that accepts the smaller pipe or fitting. This configuration allows a direct, inline size reduction without requiring a coupling or additional adapter. The part meets ASTM D 2466 standards for Schedule 40 PVC pressure fittings, making it appropriate for potable water, irrigation, and light-pressure distribution applications. Installation is handled by licensed plumbers, irrigation technicians, and qualified sprinkler system installers.

This reducer bushing is used in residential and commercial sprinkler and irrigation piping networks where a 1-1/2 inch line must transition down to a 1 inch line. Common install scenarios include zone manifolds, lateral branch connections, and equipment inlets on drip or spray systems. The bushing is sold in a package quantity of 25 units, making it practical for contractors completing multi-zone or multi-station irrigation projects where multiple reductions are required across the system layout.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by licensed plumbers or certified irrigation technicians. Shut off the water supply and depressurize the line before threading any fittings. Apply appropriate thread sealant tape or pipe dope to male threads before hand-tightening and completing with a strap wrench — avoid over-torquing PVC threads, as cracking can result. Local plumbing codes and IPC guidelines should be followed for all pressurized irrigation connections.
