Built to SCH 80 wall thickness standards, this bushing handles the added mechanical stress of threaded connections in demanding plumbing and industrial applications. The 1\/4-18 x 3\/8-18 thread specification ensures accurate engagement with standard NPT-threaded pipe and fittings. PVC construction provides excellent chemical resistance and corrosion immunity. Rated to 140 degrees F, it is suited for cold and moderately warm fluid systems. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters are the typical installers of this component.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis reducer bushing is used in Schedule 80 PVC piping systems where a size reduction is needed at a threaded junction. Common applications include chemical distribution lines, irrigation systems, water treatment setups, and light industrial fluid handling where metal fittings are not preferred due to corrosion concerns. Its compact bushing form allows the transition to be made directly at a fitting or valve port without adding extra pipe length.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSCH 80 wall thickness for greater pressure rating and impact resistance compared to SCH 40\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1\/4 in MPT x 3\/8 in FPT connection for direct in-line size reduction\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1\/4-18 x 3\/8-18 NPT thread form for standard pipe system compatibility\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePVC material resists corrosion and a wide range of chemicals\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaximum temperature rating of 140 degrees F\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation component for Schedule 80 PVC threaded piping systems using standard NPT connections.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eInstallation should be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with applicable IPC or local plumbing codes. Thread sealant tape or paste rated for PVC and the specific fluid service should be applied before assembly. Do not overtighten threaded PVC fittings, as PVC threads can crack under excessive torque. Depressurize and drain the line fully before removing or replacing any fitting in an existing system.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConnection Size 1\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/4 inches MPT\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConnection Size 2\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\/8 inches FPT\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Specification\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/4-18 x 3\/8-18 NPT\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSchedule Rating\u003c\/strong\u003e: SCH 80\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: PVC\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum Temperature\u003c\/strong\u003e: 140 degrees F\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: MIDLAND INDUSTRIES\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 839041\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"MIDLAND INDUSTRIES","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67950462992690,"sku":"839041","price":19.89,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/7bd8b2265174748f31118be123a571d0_d56207df-ce10-43d1-ad02-9f0f0d6e52b1.jpg?v=1791718716","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/midland-industries-839041-pvc-sch-80-reducer-bushing","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
