Charlotte Pipe Pvc 02112 4000HA Pvc Reducer Bushing 2x1.5 in

Product Description

The CHARLOTTE PIPE FOUNDRY CO. PVC 02112 4000HA is a white PVC reducer bushing designed to step down pipe size from 2 inches male thread to 1-1/2 inches female thread. It is used in pressurized piping systems where a transition between two pipe diameters is required at a threaded connection point. The bushing is molded from PVC and meets ASTM D 2466 requirements, confirming dimensional accuracy and material integrity for Schedule 40 pressure service. Plumbers and irrigation contractors install this fitting as a direct threaded connection with no additional adapters required.

This reducer bushing is used primarily in residential and light commercial sprinkler and irrigation systems where water distribution lines change diameter at lateral or zone connections. It is also suitable for general-purpose PVC pressure piping applications where a male-to-female threaded reduction is needed. The fitting ships in a package quantity of 10 units, making it practical for multi-zone irrigation projects or service vehicle stock. Installation requires clean, dry threads and an appropriate thread sealant rated for PVC.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed plumbers or certified irrigation contractors in jurisdictions that require permitted work. Shut off system water supply and relieve line pressure before removing or installing any threaded fitting. Apply a PTFE tape or thread sealant rated for PVC threaded connections to the male threads before assembly. Do not use solvent-based pipe dopes that are not approved for PVC, as they can degrade the fitting material.
