Ipex 9839168 Cpvc Sch 80 Reducing Bushing 1-1/4 X 1 in Mpt X Fpt

Product Description

The IPEX 9839168 is a Schedule 80 CPVC reducing bushing designed to step down pipe connections from 1-1/4 inches to 1 inch within a threaded piping system. It uses a flush-style male threaded (MPT) inlet by female threaded (FPT) outlet configuration, allowing a compact, inline size reduction without the need for additional fittings. Rated for a maximum service temperature of 200 degrees F under pressure, with intermittent exposure tolerance up to 212 degrees F, this bushing suits hot-water and industrial fluid systems. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this fitting in commercial and industrial CPVC distribution systems.

This bushing is intended for use in CPVC Schedule 80 threaded piping assemblies where a reduction in line size is required. Typical applications include hot and cold water distribution, chemical handling lines, and industrial process piping where corrosion resistance is a priority. The flush-style design integrates cleanly into existing threaded runs, making it a practical choice for retrofits and new installations in both commercial and light industrial settings.

Key Features

• Flush-style design provides a compact inline size reduction from 1-1/4 inches to 1 inch
• MPT x FPT thread configuration for direct integration into Schedule 80 threaded systems
• Maximum service temperature of 200 degrees F under pressure; handles brief exposure to 212 degrees F
• CPVC material will not rust, pit, scale, or corrode on interior or exterior surfaces
• Design stress rating of 2,000 psi at 73 degrees F
• Manufactured from Xirtec CPVC, which requires less than half the energy to produce compared to equivalent carbon steel or steel alloy materials

Compatibility

Designed for use in Xirtec CPVC Schedule 80 threaded piping systems. Suitable for installations requiring a 1-1/4 inches to 1 inch reducing bushing with MPT x FPT connections in Schedule 80 CPVC assemblies.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with applicable plumbing codes, including the IPC. Shut off and depressurize the affected piping system fully before removing or installing any threaded fittings. Use only CPVC-compatible thread sealant or tape rated for CPVC applications; do not use petroleum-based compounds. Avoid over-tightening threaded connections, as excessive torque can crack CPVC fittings.
