Dura Plastic PVC80BUSHSPFIP3412 Sch 80 Reducer Bushing

Product Description

The DURA PLASTIC PVC80BUSHSPFIP3412 is a Schedule 80 PVC flush socket reducer bushing designed to reduce a 0.75-inch socket connection to a 0.5-inch female-threaded port. Constructed from rigid PVC, this fitting is rated for higher-pressure applications than standard Schedule 40 components, making it suitable for industrial, commercial, and demanding residential piping systems. The spigot-by-female-thread (Sp x F) configuration allows the bushing to seat flush within a corresponding socket fitting, keeping the assembly compact and minimizing stress on the joint. Plumbers and pipefitters install this type of bushing wherever a reduction in line size is required without adding appreciable length to the run.

This reducer bushing is used in pressure piping systems that require a compact inline size transition. Common applications include chemical feed lines, irrigation mainlines, pool and spa plumbing, and industrial process piping where corrosion resistance and pressure capacity are priorities. The Schedule 80 wall thickness provides additional durability in environments where mechanical stress or elevated pressure is a factor. It is suited for both above-ground and buried installations in systems using PVC-compatible media.

Key Features

• Schedule 80 PVC construction for higher pressure ratings compared to Schedule 40 fittings
• Flush spigot-by-female-thread (Sp x F) design seats inside a socket fitting for a compact, low-profile connection
• Reduces 0.75-inch socket to 0.5-inch female-threaded port in a single fitting
• Rigid PVC material resists corrosion, scale, and a wide range of chemicals
• Suitable for pool, spa, irrigation, and industrial pressure piping applications

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for Schedule 80 PVC piping systems requiring a 0.75-inch to 0.5-inch socket-to-female-thread reduction.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or qualified pipefitter in accordance with applicable local plumbing codes and ASTM standards for PVC pressure fittings. Solvent-cement the spigot end into the receiving socket using a PVC-rated primer and Schedule 80-compatible cement, following the manufacturer's cure time before pressurizing the system. Apply PTFE thread tape or an approved thread sealant to the female-threaded port before engaging any male-threaded fittings. Depressurize and drain the line completely before making any modifications to an existing system.
