Lesso UV437-101 Sch 40 Pvc Reducer Bushing 3/4x1/2 in

Product Description

The LESSO UV437-101 is a Schedule 40 PVC reducer bushing designed for solvent-weld socket connections. It transitions a 3/4-inch socket to a 1/2-inch socket (SxS) and is formulated with UV-resistant (UVR) compound, making it suitable for exposed outdoor installations where standard PVC would degrade under prolonged sunlight exposure. Weighing 0.02 pounds, this lightweight fitting delivers reliable dimensional conformance to Schedule 40 wall thickness standards. Plumbers and pipefitters use this bushing when reducing line size within a PVC pressure or drain system without adding extra coupling segments.

This bushing is appropriate for residential and light commercial plumbing, irrigation, and pool or spa piping systems where a 3/4-inch to 1/2-inch socket reduction is required. Its UV-resistant construction makes it a preferred choice for above-grade outdoor runs, exposed conduit transitions, and irrigation manifold assemblies that see direct sun. The SxS socket configuration accepts standard solvent cement for a pressure-rated joint on both ends.

Key Features

• UV-resistant PVC compound rated for prolonged outdoor sun exposure
• Schedule 40 wall thickness for standard pressure-rated applications
• SxS (socket x socket) ends accept solvent cement on both sides
• Reduces from 3/4-inch socket to 1/2-inch socket in a single fitting
• Lightweight at 0.02 pounds — minimal load on exposed piping runs

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-install fitting compatible with standard Schedule 40 PVC socket piping systems using 3/4-inch and 1/2-inch nominal pipe sizes.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed plumbers or qualified irrigation technicians following applicable IPC or local plumbing code requirements. Shut off the water supply and depressurize the line before cutting into existing piping. Clean and prime both the bushing socket and pipe end before applying solvent cement, and allow full cure time per the cement manufacturer's instructions before pressurizing. Do not use pipe wrenches or mechanical force on solvent-weld PVC fittings.
