Value Collection 437-168 Pvc Bushing 1-1/4x1 in Sch 40

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 437-168 is a Schedule 40 PVC pipe bushing designed to reduce a 1-1/4 inch pipe or fitting down to a 1 inch connection. It features a spigot on the male end and a slip socket on the female end, allowing it to seat directly into a standard socket-connect fitting. Constructed from PVC, this bushing is well suited for low-pressure water distribution, irrigation, and drain applications where a concentric pipe size reduction is needed. Licensed plumbers and irrigation technicians are the primary installers of this fitting type.

This bushing is used in residential and light commercial plumbing and irrigation systems where a 1-1/4 inch line must transition to a 1 inch line. The spigot-by-slip end configuration allows the fitting to insert into an existing socket-connect fitting on one side while accepting a 1 inch pipe or fitting on the other. Typical applications include supply line branch reductions, lateral irrigation takeoffs, and drain line transitions in Schedule 40 PVC piping systems.

Key Features

• Schedule 40 PVC construction for standard-pressure plumbing and irrigation service
• 1-1/4 inch to 1 inch concentric reduction in a single fitting
• Spigot x slip end connections for compatibility with standard socket-weld PVC assemblies
• Lightweight at 0.28 pounds, simplifying overhead and tight-space installations
• Solvent-weld assembly for a permanent, leak-resistant joint

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for Schedule 40 PVC piping systems using standard socket-connect fittings in plumbing and irrigation applications.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed plumbers or qualified irrigation technicians following applicable IPC and local plumbing code requirements. Shut off and depressurize the water supply before cutting into any existing line. Use a compatible PVC primer and solvent cement rated for Schedule 40 fittings, and allow full cure time before restoring pressure. Do not use this fitting on systems exceeding the pressure rating of Schedule 40 PVC at the operating temperature.
