Spears 54211159248 Pvc Reducing Bushing 2.5x2 in Sch 80

Product Description

The SPEARS 54211159248 is a Schedule 80 PVC reducing bushing designed to connect a 2-1/2 inch male NPT thread to a 2 inch female NPT thread in industrial and commercial piping systems. Manufactured by Spears Manufacturing using a molded construction method, this bushing measures 1-29/32 inches in length and carries an SCH 80/XH pressure rating, making it suitable for higher-pressure liquid handling applications. The gray PVC material offers solid chemical resistance for plumbing, irrigation, and industrial fluid systems. This is a domestic-made fitting intended for installation by licensed plumbers and pipefitters.

This reducing bushing is used to step down pipe size at threaded connection points in Schedule 80 PVC piping systems. Common install scenarios include industrial process piping, chemical distribution lines, irrigation manifolds, and commercial plumbing systems where a transition from 2-1/2 inch to 2 inch threaded pipe is required. The MNPT x FNPT end configuration allows it to thread directly into a female-threaded fitting or valve body on one end while accepting a male-threaded pipe or fitting on the other.

Key Features

• SCH 80/XH schedule rating for higher-pressure service compared to SCH 40 fittings
• MNPT x FNPT end style allows direct in-line threaded size reduction without additional adapters
• Molded PVC construction provides chemical resistance and corrosion-free service life
• Compact 1-29/32 inch length minimizes space requirements in tight piping runs
• Gray color conforms to standard SCH 80 PVC fitting identification
• Domestically manufactured in the United States

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style threaded fitting for use in Schedule 80 PVC piping systems requiring a 2-1/2 inch to 2 inch MNPT x FNPT reducing connection.

Installation Notes

This fitting is installed by licensed plumbers or pipefitters working on threaded PVC piping systems. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape rated for PVC and the conveyed fluid before threading. Do not use petroleum-based pipe dope, which can degrade PVC. Hand-tighten first, then use strap wrenches rather than metal pipe wrenches to avoid cracking the fitting body. Isolate and depressurize the system completely before removing or installing any threaded fittings.
