Nibco CC04800 Reducer Bushing 1x0.5 in Sch 80 Spg X S

Product Description

The NIBCO CC04800 is a Schedule 80 flush socket reducer bushing designed for plastic piping systems that require a reduction from a 1-inch socket to a 0.5-inch socket within a tight face-to-face footprint. Constructed from black polypropylene, this bushing features a spigot (SPG) inlet end and a socket (S) outlet end, allowing it to seat flush inside a matching fitting hub without extending beyond the fitting face. The polypropylene construction resists a broad range of chemicals and is well suited to corrosive or industrial fluid handling applications. Plumbers and pipefitters working with thermoplastic pressure systems install this fitting wherever a compact, in-line size reduction is required.

This bushing is intended for use in Schedule 80 polypropylene pressure piping systems handling industrial process fluids, chemical transfer lines, and similar applications where a metallic fitting would be subject to corrosion. The flush socket configuration is particularly useful when space inside a fitting hub is limited or when a standard hex bushing would create clearance issues. It is sold as a single unit and is compatible with solvent-cement joining methods standard to Schedule 80 plastic piping practice.

Key Features

• Schedule 80 pressure rating for demanding thermoplastic piping systems
• Flush socket (SPG x S) end connections allow the bushing to seat fully inside a mating fitting hub
• Polypropylene construction provides strong resistance to acids, bases, and many industrial chemicals
• Black color is standard for polypropylene Schedule 80 fittings, aiding visual identification on the job
• Compact design reduces overall assembly length compared to hex bushings
• Single-piece quantity, no minimum order beyond one unit

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for Schedule 80 polypropylene socket-weld piping systems using a 1-inch to 0.5-inch reduction with SPG x S end connections.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified plumbers or pipefitters following IPC and applicable local codes for thermoplastic pressure piping. Solvent-cement all joints using a cement rated for polypropylene; confirm the cement and primer are compatible with this material before application. Depressurize and drain the piping system completely before cutting or removing any existing fittings. Allow full cure time per the cement manufacturer instructions before returning the system to service.
