Spears 54211157800 Reducing Bushing 3/4x1/2 in Sch 80 Pvc

Product Description

The SPEARS 54211157800 is a Schedule 80 PVC reducing bushing designed to transition from a 3/4-inch spigot connection to a 1/2-inch female NPT (FNPT) threaded port. At 1.25 inches in length and weighing just 0.03 pounds, this compact fitting is molded from gray PVC for chemical resistance and durability in demanding service conditions. The SCH 80 wall thickness makes it suitable for higher-pressure applications compared to standard Schedule 40 fittings. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this type of bushing when downsizing pipe runs or connecting threaded components to plain-end PVC systems.

This reducing bushing is used in residential and commercial plumbing, irrigation, industrial process piping, and chemical handling systems where PVC is the specified material. The spigot end inserts into a Schedule 80 socket fitting, while the FNPT end accepts a male-threaded pipe or component. Its molded construction ensures consistent wall thickness and thread engagement, which is critical in pressure-rated systems. The domestic origin and SCH 80 rating make it a common choice where code or specification requires heavier-wall PVC fittings.

Key Features

• Reduces from 3/4-inch spigot to 1/2-inch FNPT in a single fitting
• Schedule 80 wall thickness rated for higher working pressures than SCH 40
• Molded PVC construction provides consistent dimensions and chemical resistance
• Gray color standard for SCH 80 PVC identification in the field
• Domestically manufactured in the United States
• Compact 1.25-inch length minimizes space requirements in tight assemblies

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for Schedule 80 PVC piping systems using standard 3/4-inch spigot and 1/2-inch FNPT connections per ASTM and ANSI pipe standards.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed plumbers or qualified pipefitters. Solvent-cement the spigot end into the mating Schedule 80 socket fitting using PVC-rated primer and cement per manufacturer instructions and applicable plumbing code requirements such as the IPC. Ensure the threaded FNPT port is engaged with the correct male NPT fitting and that thread sealant or PTFE tape is applied appropriately. Always depressurize and drain the system before disassembling or modifying any section of the piping.
