Pro-source 90380500509 Pvc Bushing 1x1/2 in Sch 80

Product Description

The PRO-SOURCE 90380500509 is a Schedule 80 PVC pipe bushing designed to reduce a 1-inch pipe connection down to a 1/2-inch line. It features a spigot on the larger end and a slip socket on the smaller end, making it a standard reducing fitting for pressure-rated piping systems. At 0.32 pounds, this bushing is lightweight but built to the wall thickness and pressure ratings of Schedule 80 PVC. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters use this type of fitting wherever a threaded or solvent-weld size transition is needed in a PVC pressure system.

This bushing is suited for residential and commercial plumbing, irrigation, industrial fluid handling, and chemical distribution systems where PVC is the specified pipe material. The spigot end fits into a Schedule 80 socket fitting of the same nominal size, while the slip end accepts a 1/2-inch pipe solvent-welded directly into it. It is a common fitting in pool and spa plumbing, water treatment lines, and process piping where size reductions are needed between runs.

Key Features

• Schedule 80 PVC construction rated for higher working pressures than Schedule 40
• 1-inch spigot x 1/2-inch slip end connections for solvent-weld assembly
• Reducing bushing design eliminates the need for a separate coupling and reducer combination
• Lightweight at 0.32 pounds, suitable for overhead and tight-space installations
• Compatible with standard PVC solvent cement and primer per ASTM D2564

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for Schedule 80 PVC piping systems using 1-inch to 1/2-inch size reductions with spigot x slip end connections.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed plumbers or qualified pipefitters following applicable IPC or local plumbing codes. Shut off and depressurize the system completely before cutting into any existing line. Clean and dry both mating surfaces before applying PVC primer and solvent cement; allow full cure time before restoring pressure per the cement manufacturer instructions. Do not use this fitting in applications requiring threaded connections without an appropriate adapter.
