Nibco CC05250 Flush Reducer Bushing 1x1/2 in Sch 80

Product Description

The NIBCO CC05250 is a Schedule 80 flush reducer bushing designed to reduce a 1-inch male-threaded pipe connection down to a 1/2-inch female-threaded port in plastic piping systems. Constructed from black polypropylene, this bushing offers solid chemical and corrosion resistance suitable for industrial and commercial plumbing, chemical distribution, and irrigation applications. The MIPT x FIPT end connections allow straightforward threaded installation into standard Schedule 80 fittings. Plumbers and pipefitters working with plastic pressure systems will find this a direct-fit, code-compatible component for reduction work in both new construction and retrofit scenarios.

This flush reducer bushing is used in Schedule 80 polypropylene piping systems where a pipe run must step down from 1 inch to 1/2 inch at a threaded junction. Common applications include industrial process piping, chemical handling lines, water treatment systems, and agricultural irrigation manifolds where polypropylene is selected for its resistance to many acids and bases. The flush profile keeps the reduction compact, minimizing protrusion into adjacent fittings or valve bodies.

Key Features

• Schedule 80 wall thickness for elevated pressure ratings in plastic piping systems
• Polypropylene construction provides broad chemical and corrosion resistance
• Flush reducer profile minimizes overall fitting length at the reduction point
• MIPT x FIPT end connections for standard threaded assembly without additional adapters
• Black color coding consistent with Schedule 80 plastic fitting identification conventions

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard-fit component for Schedule 80 polypropylene threaded piping systems using 1-inch to 1/2-inch reduction fittings with MIPT x FIPT connections.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or qualified pipefitter. Depressurize and drain the system fully before removing or installing any threaded fittings. Use PTFE thread tape or an approved thread sealant rated for polypropylene and the fluid being conveyed — do not use petroleum-based compounds that may degrade the plastic. Avoid over-tightening, as polypropylene threads can crack under excessive torque; hand-tight plus a modest wrench turn is the standard approach for plastic threaded fittings.
