Lesso UV437-130 Sch 40 Pvc Reducing Bushing 1x1/2 in

Product Description

The LESSO UV437-130 is a Schedule 40 PVC reducing bushing designed for socket-by-socket (SxS) connections in pressure and drain piping systems. It transitions from a 1-inch female socket to a 1/2-inch male spigot, allowing technicians to step down line size within a PVC piping run. Constructed from UV-resistant PVC, this bushing holds up to prolonged sun exposure without significant degradation, making it suitable for both indoor and outdoor installations. At 0.05 pounds, it is a lightweight fitting that meets the structural demands of Schedule 40 pressure ratings for residential and light commercial plumbing and irrigation applications.

This bushing is used in Schedule 40 PVC piping systems wherever a reduction from 1 inch to 1/2 inch is needed at a socket connection point. Typical applications include residential plumbing distribution lines, irrigation manifolds, pool and spa equipment plumbing, and outdoor utility piping exposed to sunlight. The UV-resistant formulation makes it a practical choice for above-ground runs that standard PVC fittings may not handle reliably over time.

Key Features

• UV-resistant PVC construction suitable for exposed outdoor installations
• Schedule 40 pressure rating for residential and light commercial piping systems
• Socket-by-socket (SxS) end configuration for solvent-cement connections
• Reduces from 1-inch female socket to 1/2-inch male spigot in a single fitting
• Lightweight at 0.05 pounds for easy handling during installation

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard fitting for Schedule 40 PVC piping systems using solvent-cement socket connections at 1-inch by 1/2-inch reducing configurations.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by licensed plumbers or irrigation technicians following IPC guidelines for solvent-cemented PVC fittings. Shut off system pressure and drain the line before cutting into any existing piping. Use the appropriate PVC primer and solvent cement rated for Schedule 40 pipe and fittings, and allow full cure time before restoring pressure. Do not use threaded tools or pipe wrenches on socket ends, as this can crack the fitting hub.
