Dura Plastic 838-251 Pvc Reducing Bushing 2x1.5 in Sch 80

Product Description

The DURA PLASTIC 838-251 is a Schedule 80 PVC reducing bushing with a spigot by female NPT (FNPT) end configuration. It transitions a 2-inch nominal pipe connection down to a 1-1/2-inch nominal female threaded port. Schedule 80 PVC wall thickness provides greater pressure capacity and impact resistance compared to Schedule 40, making this bushing appropriate for demanding fluid-handling applications. Plumbers and pipefitters install this type of fitting in chemical process lines, irrigation systems, and industrial plumbing where a threaded reduction is required without adding a separate coupling. Domestic manufacture supports compliance documentation requirements common in government and commercial work.

This reducing bushing is suited for residential and commercial plumbing systems, irrigation mainlines, pool and spa plumbing, and industrial process piping where PVC Schedule 80 is specified. The spigot end inserts into a Schedule 80 socket fitting, while the FNPT end accepts a male NPT threaded pipe or fitting for a straight reduction in a single component. No union or additional adapter is needed for this transition in most standard installations.

Key Features

• Schedule 80 / XH PVC construction for higher pressure ratings versus Schedule 40
• Spigot x FNPT end style allows direct socket-to-thread transition in one fitting
• 2 x 1-1/2 inch nominal size covers a common reduction in plumbing and process lines
• PVC material resists corrosion, scale, and a broad range of chemicals
• Domestic manufacture supports Buy American and project specification requirements

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for Schedule 80 PVC piping systems using standard NPT threaded connections in the 2 x 1-1/2 inch nominal size range.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed plumbers or qualified pipefitters following applicable IPC or local plumbing codes. The spigot end is solvent-welded into a Schedule 80 PVC socket using approved PVC primer and cement rated for Schedule 80 fittings. The FNPT port accepts a male NPT threaded connection sealed with PTFE tape or approved thread sealant. Shut off and depressurize the system completely before cutting into any existing piping.
