Spears 54211341889 Pvc Reducing Coupling 3x2.5 in Sch 40

Product Description

The SPEARS 54211341889 is a PVC reducing coupling fitting designed to connect pipe transitions from 3 inch nominal to 2-1/2 inch nominal using a socket end style on both ends. Manufactured domestically by Spears Manufacturing, this bushed-style coupling is rated for Schedule 40 and standard wall applications. The fitting measures 4-5/16 inches in length with a 4 inch diameter and carries a maximum temperature rating of 140 degrees F. It weighs 0.56 pounds and is constructed of white PVC. Plumbers and pipefitters install this fitting in pressure piping systems where a reduction in line size is required without additional adapters.

This reducing coupling is suited for residential and commercial plumbing, irrigation, and industrial process piping systems where SCH 40 PVC pipe transitions between 3 inch and 2-1/2 inch nominal sizes are needed. The bushed method of manufacture integrates the reduction directly into the coupling body, keeping the fitting compact and eliminating the need for a separate bushing insert. It is appropriate for cold and moderately warm water service within its rated temperature range.
