Ipex 36668 Pvc Sch 80 Male X Female Bushing 2 in X 1-1/4 in

Product Description

The IPEX 36668 is a PVC Schedule 80 male x female bushing designed to reduce a 2-inch male threaded connection down to a 1-1/4-inch female threaded port. Built to Schedule 80 dimensional and pressure standards, this bushing is engineered for industrial and chemical process piping systems where metal fittings introduce corrosion risk or excessive maintenance. PVC Schedule 80 fittings handle higher pressure ratings than Schedule 40, making this bushing appropriate for demanding service conditions. Plumbers and pipefitters working on chemical process lines, industrial fluid handling, or potable water distribution systems install this fitting as a standard threaded reducer bushing.

This bushing is suited for use in industrial process piping, chemical handling systems, and potable water distribution. It performs reliably in applications involving most acids, alcohols, alkalis, salt solutions, and halogens. The material maintains a smooth interior bore over its service life because it does not rust, pit, scale, or corrode. It is listed with the National Sanitation Foundation (NSF) and CSA International for use with potable water, broadening its application range to include water treatment and municipal plumbing systems.

Key Features

• Schedule 80 PVC construction rated for higher pressures than Schedule 40 fittings
• Threaded male x female configuration for direct in-line reduction between two pipe sizes
• Resistant to most acids, alcohols, alkalis, salt solutions, and halogens
• NSF and CSA International listed for potable water service
• Non-corroding, non-scaling interior bore maintains flow characteristics over time
• Manufactured with significantly less energy than equivalent steel or steel-alloy fittings

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard component for PVC Schedule 80 threaded piping systems requiring a 2-inch male to 1-1/4-inch female threaded reduction.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed plumbers or pipefitters following applicable local plumbing codes and ASTM standards for threaded PVC fittings. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape rated for PVC and the specific fluid service before making up the joint. Do not use pipe wrenches or excessive torque, as over-tightening threaded PVC fittings can crack the fitting body. Shut off and depressurize the piping system fully before removing or installing any threaded component.
