Spears 54211163696 Flush Reducing Bushing 3x2 in Sch 40 Pvc

Product Description

The SPEARS 54211163696 is a flush reducing bushing designed to transition pipe connections from a 3-inch nominal diameter down to a 2-inch nominal diameter. It features a spigot inlet and a female NPT (FNPT) outlet, allowing it to mate directly into a standard socket fitting on one end and accept a threaded connection on the other. Molded from Schedule 40 PVC, the bushing measures 2-3/16 inches in length and weighs 0.56 pounds. It is manufactured domestically and meets ASTM D1784, ASTM D2466, and NSF standards. Licensed HVAC techs, plumbers, and pipefitters working on water distribution, drainage, and industrial piping systems are the primary installers of this fitting.

This bushing is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing systems where a reduction in line size is needed at a threaded connection point. The flush-style design seats fully into the adjacent fitting socket, keeping the transition compact and minimizing dead space in the line. The FNPT outlet accommodates standard threaded pipe or fittings in a 2-inch size. Its white PVC construction and SCH 40 pressure rating make it appropriate for cold and ambient-temperature water service, irrigation, and general-purpose non-pressurized drainage applications where PVC piping is code-acceptable.

Key Features

• Flush-style bushing reduces a 3-inch spigot connection to a 2-inch FNPT threaded port
• Schedule 40/STD wall thickness for standard-service pressure applications
• Molded PVC construction — corrosion-resistant and compatible with most water treatment chemicals
• Meets ASTM D1784 and ASTM D2466 dimensional and material standards
• NSF approved for potable water contact
• Domestically manufactured in the United States

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for Schedule 40 PVC piping systems using standard spigot and NPT threaded connections in 3-inch by 2-inch nominal sizes.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with IPC or applicable local plumbing codes. Shut off and depressurize the water supply line before cutting into the system. The spigot end is solvent-welded into a compatible Schedule 40 socket fitting using PVC primer and cement per ASTM D2564 procedures; the FNPT end accepts a threaded pipe or fitting with thread sealant tape or compound. Do not exceed the pressure and temperature ratings of Schedule 40 PVC or use this fitting in systems carrying compressed air, flammable gases, or fluids above the rated temperature limits of standard PVC.
