It reduces a 2-inch male iron pipe thread (MIPT) connection down to a 1.5-inch female iron pipe thread (FIPT) in a flush-mount profile that keeps the fitting compact within tight piping assemblies. PVDF offers strong resistance to a wide range of aggressive chemicals, making this bushing a practical choice for chemical processing, industrial fluid handling, and high-purity water systems. The red color coding provides quick visual identification during installation and inspection. Licensed plumbers and industrial pipefitters are the typical installers for this type of fitting.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis reducer bushing is suited for Schedule 80 plastic piping systems that require a step-down transition between a 2-inch and 1.5-inch threaded connection. Common applications include chemical distribution lines, industrial process piping, laboratory plumbing, and corrosive-fluid handling systems where metal fittings would be unsuitable. The flush bushing design allows for installation in confined spaces or panel-mounted configurations where a hex bushing profile would be impractical.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePVDF construction provides excellent chemical resistance for aggressive fluid service\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSchedule 80 pressure rating suitable for demanding industrial piping applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFlush bushing profile minimizes installed length in tight assemblies\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMIPT x FIPT end connections for straightforward threaded pipe assembly\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRed color coding for fast visual identification in multi-material systems\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2-inch to 1.5-inch reduction in a single compact fitting\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for Schedule 80 PVDF 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 or qualified pipefitter familiar with thermoplastic threaded fittings. PVDF fittings require PTFE thread tape rather than pipe dope, as solvent-based sealants can damage the material. Do not over-torque threaded connections, as PVDF is more brittle than metal and can crack under excessive force. Depressurize and drain the line fully before removing or installing any threaded fitting.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFitting Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Flush Threaded Reducer Bushing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFitting Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2 x 1.5 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: PVDF\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEnd Connection\u003c\/strong\u003e: MIPT x FIPT\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSchedule\u003c\/strong\u003e: 80\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColor\u003c\/strong\u003e: Red\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.215 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: NIBCO\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: CD03450\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"NIBCO","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51543577166130,"sku":"CD03450","price":198.1,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/ab768601e3d38e0186b3b2f24d278a10_441cc045-61de-4a75-b529-2e8f64b72dbe.jpg?v=1785920539","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/nibco-cd03450-pvdf-reducer-bushing-2x1-5-in-sch-80","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
