Dura Plastic PVC80BUSHSPS3212 Schedule 80 Reducer Bushing

Product Description

The DURA PLASTIC PVC80BUSHSPS3212 is a flush socket reducer bushing manufactured from Schedule 80 PVC. It transitions a 3-inch pipe or fitting down to a 2.5-inch socket connection using a spigot-by-socket (Spg x S) end configuration. The spigot end inserts directly into a same-size socket fitting, keeping the connection flush and compact. Schedule 80 PVC provides heavier wall thickness and higher pressure ratings compared to Schedule 40, making it suitable for demanding service conditions. Plumbers and pipefitters install this fitting in pressure piping systems where a low-profile reducer is required without adding extra coupling length to the assembly.

This bushing is used in residential and commercial plumbing, irrigation, industrial process piping, and pool or spa plumbing systems where PVC pressure pipe is specified. The flush design is particularly useful in tight spaces or manifold assemblies where a standard reducer coupling would add unwanted length. It is compatible with solvent-cement joining methods per ASTM D2564 standards. The 3-inch spigot end seats into any standard 3-inch Schedule 80 socket fitting, and the 2.5-inch socket accepts standard 2.5-inch Schedule 80 or Schedule 40 spigot pipe and fittings.

Key Features

• Schedule 80 PVC construction for higher pressure-rated service compared to Schedule 40
• Flush socket design keeps reducer compact and minimizes overall assembly length
• Spigot x Socket (Spg x S) end configuration allows direct insertion into an existing 3-inch socket fitting
• Solvent-cement compatible for reliable, permanent pressure-rated joints
• Suitable for cold and hot water plumbing, irrigation, and pool or spa pressure lines

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for Schedule 80 PVC pressure piping systems with a 3-inch to 2.5-inch reduction requirement. Compatible with solvent-weld Schedule 80 and Schedule 40 PVC pipe and fittings at the respective end sizes.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or qualified pipefitter in accordance with local plumbing codes and ASTM D2564 solvent-cement procedures. Depressurize and drain the system completely before cutting into any existing line. Use the correct PVC primer and heavy-bodied Schedule 80 solvent cement, and allow full cure time before restoring system pressure. Do not apply heat or flame to PVC fittings during installation.
