Georg Fischer 829-338 SCH80 Pvc Reducing Coupling 3x2 in

Product Description

The GEORG FISCHER 829-338 is a Schedule 80 PVC reducing coupling designed to connect piping of two different diameters in a single inline fitting. It accepts a 3-inch pipe on one end and a 2-inch pipe on the other, with a socket-by-socket (SxS) configuration on both ends for solvent-weld installation. At 0.9193 pounds and 3.61 inches in length, this fitting is built for pressure-rated service in corrosive or chemical-handling environments where standard Schedule 40 fittings are not appropriate. Plumbers and pipefitters working in commercial, industrial, and institutional systems rely on Schedule 80 PVC fittings for their increased wall thickness and pressure ratings compared to Schedule 40.

This reducing coupling is suited for use in cold and ambient-temperature liquid piping systems, including chemical distribution, irrigation, water treatment, and industrial process lines. It is appropriate for both above-ground and in-wall installations where PVC is permitted by local code. The SxS socket ends allow for a clean, solvent-welded joint on both sides of the reduction, making it a common choice when transitioning pipe sizes within a run without introducing a threaded connection.

Key Features

• Schedule 80 wall thickness for elevated pressure ratings versus Schedule 40
• Socket-by-socket (SxS) ends for solvent-weld connections on both sides
• Reduces from 3-inch to 2-inch pipe in a single inline fitting
• PVC construction resists corrosion, chemical attack, and scale buildup
• Compact at 3.61 inches in length and 0.9193 pounds

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting compatible with Schedule 80 PVC piping systems using 3-inch and 2-inch nominal pipe sizes with solvent-weld socket connections.

Installation Notes

Installation of this fitting should be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with applicable local plumbing codes and ASTM standards for solvent-welded PVC piping. Shut off and depressurize the system fully before cutting into any existing line. Use the appropriate primer and solvent cement rated for Schedule 80 PVC, and allow full cure time before restoring pressure. Do not apply heat or use this fitting in systems carrying steam or high-temperature fluids above the rated service temperature for PVC.
