Dura Plastic PVC40BUSHSPS11412 Pvc Sch 40 Reducing Bushing

Product Description

The DURA PLASTIC PVC40BUSHSPS11412 is a Schedule 40 PVC reducing bushing designed to transition a 1-1/4 inch spigot connection down to a 1/2 inch slip socket. This fitting inserts into a female socket fitting on the larger end and accepts a 1/2 inch pipe or fitting on the slip end. It is rated for pressure service in cold and hot water distribution, irrigation, and general industrial piping systems. Plumbers, pipefitters, and experienced DIYers install this bushing when reducing pipe size within a run without cutting into existing threaded connections. The Schedule 40 wall thickness provides the pressure rating needed for typical residential and light commercial supply lines.

This reducing bushing is suited for residential plumbing, commercial water distribution, irrigation manifolds, and pool or spa plumbing where a line-size reduction from 1-1/4 inch to 1/2 inch is required. The spigot-by-slip configuration allows the bushing to drop into a standard 1-1/4 inch female socket fitting on one end while accepting a 1/2 inch fitting or pipe on the other, making it a straightforward inline reducer with no threading required on either joint.

Key Features

• Schedule 40 PVC construction rated for pressure service in water distribution and irrigation applications
• Spigot inlet fits directly into a standard 1-1/4 inch female socket fitting for a solvent-weld joint
• Slip outlet accepts a 1/2 inch pipe or fitting for a solvent-weld connection
• Compact bushing form factor eliminates the need for a full coupling when reducing line size
• Compatible with standard PVC Schedule 40 solvent cement per ASTM D2564

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation reducing bushing for PVC Schedule 40 pressure piping systems using 1-1/4 inch spigot and 1/2 inch slip connections.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed plumbers or qualified pipefitters following IPC and local plumbing code requirements. Shut off and depressurize the water supply before cutting into any existing line. Clean and prime both mating surfaces before applying PVC solvent cement, and allow full cure time per the cement manufacturer instructions before restoring pressure. Do not apply solvent cement in poorly ventilated spaces without appropriate respiratory protection.
