Ipex 9839072 Cpvc Sch 80 Male X Female Reducer Bushing

Product Description

The IPEX 9839072 is a flush-style reducer bushing for CPVC Schedule 80 piping systems. It connects via a male threaded (MPT) inlet to a female threaded (FPT) outlet, reducing from 1/2 inch to 1/4 inch. The bushing is manufactured from Xirtec CPVC material, which is rated for continuous pressure service up to 200 degrees F and can handle occasional exposure to boiling water at 212 degrees F. It is designed for installation by licensed plumbers in commercial and industrial piping systems where corrosion resistance and high-temperature performance are required.

This bushing is suited for Xirtec CPVC Schedule 80 piping systems in applications that require a threaded size reduction. Typical installation scenarios include process piping, hot and cold water distribution, and chemical handling systems where metal corrosion is a concern. The flush-style profile allows the bushing to seat directly within a fitting socket without added protrusion. Installers working on Xirtec CPVC systems will find this a direct-fit threaded reducer for transitioning between 1/2 inch and 1/4 inch pipe lines.

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard component for IPEX Xirtec CPVC Schedule 80 threaded piping systems in 1/2 inch x 1/4 inch reducer bushing configurations.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with applicable IPC or local plumbing code requirements. Shut off and depressurize the system completely before removing or installing any threaded fittings. Use CPVC-compatible thread sealant or tape rated for CPVC materials only — do not use petroleum-based compounds. Hand-tighten first, then snug with strap or strap wrench to avoid overtightening and cracking the fitting body.
