Pro-source 90380500709 Pvc Bushing Sch 80 1-1/4x1/2 in

Product Description

The PRO-SOURCE 90380500709 is a Schedule 80 PVC pipe bushing used to reduce a 1-1/4 inch female opening down to a 1/2 inch pipe connection. It features a spigot on the male end and a slip socket on the female end, allowing it to be solvent-welded into standard PVC fittings and piping systems. Schedule 80 PVC offers greater wall thickness and pressure rating than Schedule 40, making it the appropriate choice for industrial, chemical, and higher-pressure plumbing applications. Plumbers and pipefitters install this bushing when transitioning between two pipe sizes within a PVC system.

This bushing is suited for use in residential and commercial plumbing, irrigation, industrial process piping, and chemical handling systems where PVC is an approved material. The spigot end inserts directly into a slip-socket fitting, and the slip end accepts a 1/2 inch PVC pipe for solvent-cement connection. It is commonly installed in drain, waste, and vent configurations as well as pressure piping where Schedule 80 fittings are specified.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with applicable IPC and local plumbing codes. Shut off water supply and depressurize the line before beginning work. Clean and dry all mating surfaces, apply PVC primer, and then apply solvent cement to both the spigot end and the receiving socket before joining. Allow full cure time before restoring pressure to the system.
