Value Collection 437-290 Pvc Pipe Bushing Sch 40

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 437-290 is a Schedule 40 PVC pipe bushing designed to reduce a 2.5-inch pipe or fitting down to a 1.25-inch connection. It features a spigot (male) end on the larger side and a slip (socket) end on the smaller side, allowing it to seat directly into a standard socket fitting without additional adapters. Weighing 0.42 pounds, this bushing is a standard choice for plumbing and irrigation system modifications where pipe diameter transitions are required. Licensed plumbers and irrigation technicians use this type of fitting in both residential and light commercial piping systems.

This bushing is suited for use in cold and hot water distribution, drain systems, irrigation laterals, and other low-pressure PVC piping applications where a Schedule 40 pressure rating is appropriate. The spigot x slip configuration makes it compatible with standard Schedule 40 socket fittings throughout the assembly, simplifying in-line size reductions without threaded connections. It is commonly installed during new construction, system expansion, or repair work requiring a pipe size step-down.

Key Features

• Reduces 2.5-inch pipe to 1.25-inch connection in a single fitting
• Schedule 40 PVC construction for standard pressure-rated service
• Spigot x slip end connections for solvent-weld installation
• Lightweight at 0.42 pounds for easy handling in confined spaces
• No threads required — clean solvent-cement joint on both ends

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting compatible with Schedule 40 PVC socket fittings in standard 2.5-inch x 1.25-inch reducing configurations.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed plumbers or qualified pipefitters following applicable IPC and local plumbing code requirements. Shut off the water supply and depressurize the line before cutting or modifying any piping. Clean and prime both mating surfaces before applying PVC solvent cement, and allow full cure time before restoring pressure. Do not use this fitting in systems requiring threaded or compression connections.
