Lesso UV437-212 Sch 40 Pvc Reducing Bushing 1.5x1.25 in

Product Description

The LESSO UV437-212 is a Schedule 40 PVC reducing bushing rated for UV-resistant outdoor service. It transitions a 1.5-inch socket opening down to a 1.25-inch spigot connection in a slip-by-slip (SxS) configuration. Molded from UV-resistant PVC compound, this bushing maintains dimensional stability in exposed installations where standard PVC would degrade under prolonged sunlight. At 0.06 pounds, it is a lightweight fitting suited for residential and light commercial plumbing, irrigation, and pool or spa piping systems. Licensed plumbers and irrigation technicians are the primary installers.

This bushing is used wherever a pipe run must reduce from 1.5 inches to 1.25 inches using solvent-cement socket connections on both ends. Common applications include pool and spa plumbing headers, outdoor irrigation manifolds, and above-ground PVC distribution lines exposed to direct sunlight. The UV-resistant formulation makes it appropriate for surface-mounted or above-grade runs that standard gray Schedule 40 fittings would not withstand over time.

Key Features

• UV-resistant PVC construction rated for exposed outdoor installations
• Schedule 40 wall thickness for standard-pressure residential and commercial service
• Slip-by-slip (SxS) socket ends accept solvent-cement joining on both sides
• Reduces 1.5-inch to 1.25-inch pipe in a single compact fitting
• Lightweight at 0.06 pounds — minimal load on overhead or bracketed runs

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting compatible with Schedule 40 PVC piping systems using 1.5-inch and 1.25-inch nominal pipe sizes with solvent-cement socket joints.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed plumbers or qualified irrigation technicians following IPC and local plumbing code requirements. Shut off the water supply and depressurize the line before cutting and dry-fitting. Apply PVC primer and solvent cement rated for Schedule 40 PVC fittings; follow the cement manufacturer's cure time before restoring pressure. Do not apply heat or use mechanical force to seat the bushing — solvent welding is the correct joining method.
