Nibco CC05650 Flush Reducer Bushing 3x2 in Schedule 80

Product Description

The NIBCO CC05650 is a flush reducer bushing designed to transition a 3-inch male iron pipe thread (MIPT) connection down to a 2-inch female iron pipe thread (FIPT) in Schedule 80 piping systems. Molded from black polypropylene, this bushing offers good resistance to a range of chemicals and corrosive fluids, making it a practical choice for industrial and commercial process piping applications. The flush-style design seats cleanly inside a fitting socket, keeping the installed profile compact. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this fitting as part of threaded polypropylene systems where a concentric reduction is required at a junction point.

The CC05650 is suited for Schedule 80 polypropylene piping systems commonly found in chemical processing facilities, industrial plants, and commercial mechanical rooms. The MIPT x FIPT end configuration allows it to thread directly into or onto standard pipe and fittings that conform to Schedule 80 thread dimensions. This bushing ships individually and is appropriate for service applications where polypropylene is specified for its chemical resistance and lightweight properties compared to metal alternatives.

Key Features

• Flush reducer bushing style for compact inline reduction from 3 inches to 2 inches
• Schedule 80 wall rating for use in higher-pressure polypropylene piping systems
• MIPT x FIPT threaded end connections for straightforward installation into existing threaded systems
• Black polypropylene construction offers chemical resistance and corrosion-free service
• Lightweight design at 0.38 pounds simplifies handling during installation

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and new-installation fitting for Schedule 80 threaded polypropylene piping systems requiring a 3-inch to 2-inch concentric reduction.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed plumbers or pipefitters working on polypropylene threaded systems. Depressurize and drain the piping system fully before removing or installing any threaded fittings. Use appropriate thread sealant rated for polypropylene and the conveyed media, and hand-tighten before applying final turns with a strap wrench to avoid overtightening, which can crack polypropylene fittings. Follow applicable local plumbing codes and IPC guidelines for plastic threaded piping installations.
