Ipex 9839248 Cpvc Sch 80 Reducing Bushing 2 in X 3/4 in Mpt Fpt

Product Description

The IPEX 9839248 is a Schedule 80 CPVC reducing bushing designed to step down pipe size within a threaded CPVC piping system. It uses a flush-style, male-threaded (MPT) by female-threaded (FPT) connection to transition from a 2-inch line down to a 3/4-inch line. Built from Xirtec CPVC, this bushing is rated for a maximum service temperature of 200 degrees F under pressure, with occasional tolerance of boiling water at 212 degrees F. The material carries a design stress of 2,000 psi at 73 degrees F. Plumbers and pipefitters install this fitting in industrial, commercial, and process-piping applications where CPVC is specified for its chemical and corrosion resistance.

This reducing bushing is suited for use in hot and cold water distribution, chemical process lines, and industrial fluid handling systems where CPVC Schedule 80 fittings are required. The MPT x FPT thread configuration makes it a direct, in-line reducer that installs without additional adapters. It is compatible with Schedule 80 CPVC pipe and fittings used in Xirtec CPVC piping systems. The fitting is well suited for both new construction and retrofit work where a threaded size reduction is needed at a fixed point in the system.

Key Features

• Flush-style reducer bushing transitions 2-inch MPT to 3/4-inch FPT in a single fitting
• Rated to 200 degrees F maximum service temperature under pressure
• Tolerates occasional exposure to boiling water at 212 degrees F
• CPVC material carries a design stress of 2,000 psi at 73 degrees F
• CPVC construction will not rust, pit, scale, or corrode on interior or exterior surfaces
• Requires less energy to produce than equivalent carbon steel or steel alloy fittings

Compatibility

Designed for use with Xirtec CPVC Schedule 80 pipe and fittings in threaded piping assemblies requiring a 2-inch to 3/4-inch size reduction.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber familiar with CPVC threaded fitting assembly and applicable plumbing codes such as the IPC. Shut off and depressurize the system completely before removing or installing any fittings. Use only thread sealants approved for use with CPVC pipe and fittings, as incompatible compounds can degrade the material. Do not overtighten threaded CPVC connections, as the material can crack under excessive torque from mechanical tools.
