It transitions from a 3\/4-inch spigot connection to a 1\/2-inch female thread, making it a reliable fitting for reducing line size within a pressurized system. Schedule 80 PVC offers greater wall thickness than Schedule 40, providing added pressure capacity in demanding service conditions. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this fitting in chemical process lines, water treatment systems, and industrial fluid handling applications where corrosion resistance and long service life are required.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis bushing is suited for use in industrial piping systems handling a broad range of acids, alcohols, alkalis, salt solutions, and halogens. Its PVC construction makes it appropriate for potable water service as well, listed with the National Sanitation Foundation (NSF) and CSA International for that application. Typical installations include chemical process lines, irrigation systems, water treatment facilities, and similar applications where metal fittings would be subject to corrosion or chemical attack.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSchedule 80 PVC wall thickness provides elevated pressure ratings versus standard Schedule 40 fittings\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eOutstanding chemical resistance to most acids, alcohols, alkalis, salt solutions, and halogens\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eListed with NSF and CSA International for use in potable water systems\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSmooth interior bore resists rust, pitting, scaling, and corrosion over the service life of the fitting\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eManufactured using significantly less energy than comparable steel or steel alloy fittings, reducing environmental impact\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSpigot x female thread configuration allows straightforward in-line size reduction without additional adapters\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style Schedule 80 PVC fitting for industrial and commercial piping systems requiring a 3\/4-inch spigot to 1\/2-inch female threaded reducing bushing, compatible with standard PVC Schedule 80 pipe and fittings conforming to ASTM dimensional standards.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation of PVC Schedule 80 threaded and solvent-welded fittings should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable plumbing codes including the IPC and local jurisdictional requirements. Depressurize and drain the line completely before removing any existing fitting. For the spigot end, use a compatible PVC solvent cement rated for Schedule 80 applications; do not substitute Schedule 40 cement. For threaded connections, apply PTFE thread tape or approved thread sealant and hand-tighten plus one to two turns with a strap wrench — do not over-torque PVC threads, as this will crack the fitting socket.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSchedule\u003c\/strong\u003e: Schedule 80\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInlet Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\/4 inches (spigot)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOutlet Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/2 inches (female thread)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConnection Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Spigot x Female Thread\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCertifications\u003c\/strong\u003e: NSF listed, CSA International listed\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: IPEX\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 36684\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"IPEX","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51467588862258,"sku":"36684","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/313946652.jpg?v=1783907224","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/ipex-36684-pvc-sch-80-spigot-x-female-bushing-3-4x1-2-in","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
