Georg Fischer 837-585 Pvc Reducer Bushing 8x6 Inch Sch 80

Product Description

The GEORG FISCHER 837-585 is a flush-style reducer bushing made from Schedule 80 PVC, designed to transition between an 8-inch and 6-inch pipe connection in pressurized or gravity-drain plumbing systems. The spigot-by-socket (SPG x S) end configuration allows the bushing to seat inside a fitting socket on one end and receive a pipe or fitting on the other, creating a compact, low-profile transition without added length. At 4.229 pounds and 4.66 inches in length, this is a solid, full-bodied fitting built to handle the wall thickness and pressure ratings associated with Schedule 80 pipe. Plumbers and pipefitters working on industrial, commercial, or chemical-service systems will find this fitting appropriate for PVC pressure piping installations.

This reducer bushing is suited for use in commercial and industrial plumbing systems where Schedule 80 PVC pipe is specified. Common applications include process piping, irrigation mainlines, chemical drainage, and municipal water distribution where a size reduction from 8 inches to 6 inches is required at a fitting junction. The flush-style design keeps the transition point compact, which is advantageous in tight mechanical spaces or where fitting-to-fitting connections are necessary.

Key Features

• Flush-style bushing seats inside an 8-inch socket and accepts a 6-inch spigot or pipe end
• Schedule 80 PVC construction provides greater wall thickness and higher pressure ratings than Schedule 40
• Spigot x Socket (SPG x S) end configuration enables compact, inline size reduction
• PVC material offers resistance to corrosion, many acids, and common chemicals
• 4.66-inch length keeps the transition profile low-profile in confined installations

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for Schedule 80 PVC piping systems requiring an 8-inch to 6-inch reducer bushing with a spigot-by-socket end connection.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with applicable local plumbing codes and ASTM standards for PVC solvent-cement joints. Shut off and depressurize the line completely before cutting into existing piping. Use a PVC primer and solvent cement rated for Schedule 80 fittings, and allow full cure time before restoring pressure. Do not apply heat or use open flame near PVC fittings during installation.
