Lesso UV437-168 Sch 40 Pvc Bushing 1-1/4 X 1 Inch Sxs

Product Description

The LESSO UV437-168 is a Schedule 40 PVC spigot-by-socket (SxS) reducing bushing designed to step down from a 1-1/4 inch pipe or fitting to a 1 inch fitting socket. Manufactured from UV-resistant PVC compound, this bushing holds up in exposed outdoor installations where standard PVC would degrade under prolonged sunlight. It is a standard pressure-rated fitting used in cold and hot water distribution, irrigation, and general plumbing systems. Plumbers and pipe fitters install this type of bushing when a reducer coupling is not practical or when space is limited in a fitting assembly.

This bushing is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing, irrigation manifolds, pool and spa plumbing, and any Schedule 40 PVC piping system that requires a 1-1/4 inch to 1 inch reduction. The SxS configuration means the spigot end inserts into a socket fitting and the socket end accepts a 1 inch spigot or pipe end, allowing clean inline reductions without additional fittings. Its UV-resistant formulation makes it appropriate for above-grade or outdoor exposed runs where ultraviolet degradation is a concern.

Key Features

• UV-resistant PVC construction rated for outdoor and exposed installations
• Schedule 40 wall thickness for standard pressure-rated service
• SxS (spigot x socket) end configuration for direct inline reduction

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and new-installation fitting for Schedule 40 PVC piping systems requiring a 1-1/4 inch to 1 inch spigot-by-socket reduction.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed plumbers or qualified pipe fitters working with Schedule 40 PVC solvent-weld systems. Shut off and depressurize the system before cutting into any existing line. Clean and deburr pipe ends, apply approved PVC primer, then apply solvent cement to both the spigot end and the socket before assembly per the cement manufacturer's instructions and applicable IPC or local plumbing code requirements. Do not apply heat or flame to PVC fittings during installation.
