Ipex 438167 Pvc Sch 40 Reducing Bushing 1-1/4 X 3/4 in

Product Description

The IPEX 438167 is a Schedule 40 PVC reducing bushing with a spigot (male slip) inlet and a female threaded (FPT) outlet, sized 1-1/4 inches by 3/4 inch. It is injection molded from Type 1, Class 12454B PVC material and carries a pressure rating of 370 psi non-shock at 73 degrees F. The white finish and lead-free construction make it suitable for potable water systems as well as industrial and recirculating applications. Plumbers and pipefitters install this fitting wherever a pipe run must step down from a 1-1/4-inch line to a 3/4-inch female-threaded connection.

This bushing is rated for service in plumbing, irrigation, industrial piping, pool and spa systems, and drinking water distribution. The 140 degrees F maximum temperature rating covers typical cold- and hot-water residential and light commercial service. It meets NSF/ANSI 14 and 61G standards for drinking water contact and conforms to AB1953 lead-free requirements, making it an appropriate choice for potable water retrofits and new construction alike.
