Ipex 36667 Pvc Schedule 80 Male X Female Bushing 2x1 in

Product Description

The IPEX 36667 is a PVC Schedule 80 male x female bushing designed to reduce from a 2-inch male thread to a 1-inch female thread in pressurized piping systems. Built to Schedule 80 dimensional and pressure standards, this bushing delivers greater wall thickness and higher pressure ratings than Schedule 40 equivalents. It is manufactured from high-performance PVC that resists corrosion, oxidation, and photodegradation, making it a dependable long-term alternative to metal fittings in demanding service environments. Licensed plumbers and industrial piping contractors install this fitting in chemical process, potable water, and general industrial piping systems where a threaded reduction is required.

This bushing is suited for residential, commercial, and industrial applications where a threaded pipe size reduction is needed at a male-to-female connection point. Its chemical resistance profile makes it appropriate for systems conveying acids, alcohols, alkalis, salt solutions, and halogens. The PVC construction maintains a smooth interior bore over the service life of the fitting, preserving flow efficiency without the buildup associated with metal corrosion or scaling.

Key Features

• Schedule 80 wall thickness provides elevated pressure capacity versus Schedule 40 PVC fittings
• Outstanding resistance to most acids, alcohols, alkalis, salt solutions, and halogens
• Listed with the National Sanitation Foundation (NSF) and CSA International for potable water service
• Immune to rust, pitting, scaling, and corrosion, maintaining a smooth bore throughout service life
• Manufactured with significantly less energy than equivalent steel or steel-alloy fittings, reducing environmental impact
• Male x female threaded configuration allows in-line size reduction without additional adapters

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for Schedule 80 PVC threaded piping systems requiring a 2-inch to 1-inch reduction.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with applicable plumbing codes, including the IPC. Depressurize and isolate the piping system completely before beginning work. Use thread sealant or PTFE tape rated for PVC fittings on all threaded connections, and tighten by hand plus a controlled additional turn with a strap wrench. Do not use metal pipe wrenches directly on PVC fittings, and do not overtighten, as excessive torque can crack Schedule 80 fittings.
