Midland Industries 55774 Pvc Reducer Slip Bushing 2x0.5in

Product Description

The MIDLAND INDUSTRIES 55774 is a Schedule 40 PVC reducer slip bushing designed to reduce a 2-inch female socket connection down to a 1/2-inch female socket connection in low-pressure plumbing systems. This fitting accepts a 2-inch slip pipe on the outside and a 1/2-inch slip pipe on the inside, allowing a straightforward in-line reduction without the need for additional adapters. Built from Schedule 40 PVC, it resists corrosion, scale buildup, and chemical degradation common in potable water and drain applications. Plumbers and pipe fitters install this bushing to consolidate line reductions in a single compact fitting.

This reducer slip bushing is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing installations where a Schedule 40 PVC piping system requires a step-down from a 2-inch main to a 1/2-inch branch or outlet. Typical applications include supply lines, drain assemblies, irrigation manifolds, and pool or spa plumbing systems. The slip socket configuration is compatible with standard Schedule 40 PVC pipe and solvent-cement joining methods.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed plumbers or qualified pipe fitters following local plumbing codes and IPC guidelines.
