Spears 54211157923 Reducing Bushing 1-1/4x1 Sch 80 Pvc

Product Description

The SPEARS 54211157923 is a Schedule 80 PVC reducing bushing designed to transition from a 1-1/4 inch to a 1 inch line in pressure-rated piping systems. The fitting uses a spigot inlet and a female NPT (FNPT) outlet, allowing it to thread directly into standard NPT fittings while the spigot end solvent-welds into a matching socket. At 1-17/32 inches in length and weighing just 0.07 pounds, it is a compact, lightweight component suited for tight installations. Molded from gray PVC, it carries a SCH 80/XH pressure rating, making it appropriate for higher-pressure plumbing, irrigation, and industrial fluid-handling applications. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters are the typical installers for this type of fitting.

This reducing bushing is used in residential and commercial PVC pressure piping systems where a line reduction from 1-1/4 inch to 1 inch is required at a threaded junction. Common install scenarios include water distribution, chemical processing lines, irrigation manifolds, and industrial plumbing where SCH 80 pressure ratings are specified. The FNPT end accepts a standard male-threaded pipe or fitting, while the spigot end integrates into solvent-weld assemblies. This fitting is manufactured domestically in the United States.

Key Features

• Reduces from 1-1/4 inch to 1 inch nominal pipe size in a single fitting
• Spigot x FNPT end configuration for combined solvent-weld and threaded connections
• SCH 80/XH schedule rating for higher-pressure service compared to SCH 40
• Molded gray PVC construction for corrosion resistance in water and chemical service
• Compact length of 1-17/32 inches minimizes space requirements in the assembly
• Domestically manufactured in the United States

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation component for SCH 80 PVC pressure piping systems using 1-1/4 inch spigot and 1 inch FNPT connections.

Installation Notes

Installation of this fitting is typically performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter. Depressurize and drain the line completely before cutting into any existing piping. The spigot end requires approved PVC primer and solvent cement applied per the fitting manufacturer and local plumbing code requirements, which typically reference IPC or applicable state codes. Do not apply thread sealant or pipe dope to the solvent-weld end, and do not over-torque the FNPT connection, as PVC threads can crack under excessive force.
