Value Collection 437-130 Pvc Pipe Bushing 1x1/2 in Sch 40

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 437-130 is a Schedule 40 PVC pipe bushing designed to reduce a 1-inch female socket to a 1/2-inch slip connection in low-pressure plumbing and irrigation systems. The spigot-by-slip end configuration allows the bushing to insert directly into a 1-inch socket fitting on one end while accepting a 1/2-inch pipe or fitting on the other. Weighing 0.32 pounds, this lightweight fitting is suited for potable water, drainage, and general-purpose piping applications where a concentric pipe size reduction is needed at a branch or transition point. Licensed plumbers and irrigation technicians are the typical installers.

This bushing is used in residential and light commercial plumbing, pool and spa piping, and irrigation manifold assemblies wherever a 1-inch line must transition down to a 1/2-inch line. The spigot end seats into any standard Schedule 40 or Schedule 80 female socket, and the slip end accepts 1/2-inch pipe or a standard slip-connection fitting. It is appropriate for cold and warm water service within the pressure and temperature ratings of Schedule 40 PVC.

Key Features

• Schedule 40 PVC construction for standard-pressure potable water and irrigation service
• Spigot x Slip end connections for direct socket insertion and downstream pipe acceptance
• 1-inch to 1/2-inch concentric reduction in a single compact fitting
• Lightweight at 0.32 pounds, minimizing load on branch connections
• Compatible with standard PVC solvent-weld installation methods

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for Schedule 40 PVC piping systems using standard 1-inch spigot and 1/2-inch slip socket connections.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed plumbers or qualified irrigation technicians following IPC and local plumbing code requirements. Shut off the water supply and relieve system pressure before cutting into any existing line. Use only PVC primer and solvent cement rated for Schedule 40 PVC; do not apply heat or use threaded connections on the slip or spigot ends. Allow full cure time per the solvent cement manufacturer instructions before restoring pressure.
