Value Collection 437-585 Pvc Pipe Bushing 8x6 in Sch 40

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 437-585 is a Schedule 40 PVC pipe bushing designed to reduce an 8-inch pipe or fitting down to a 6-inch connection. It features a spigot (male) inlet end and a slip (socket) outlet end, making it a straight-forward reducer fitting for non-pressurized and low-pressure plumbing systems. Weighing 5.19 pounds, this bushing is suited for drain, waste, and vent (DWV) or general water service applications where a concentric size reduction is needed at a threaded or glued joint. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters are the typical installers of this fitting type.

This bushing is used in residential and commercial plumbing systems where a transition from an 8-inch pipe to a 6-inch pipe is required. Typical installation scenarios include main drain lines, sewer laterals, and large-diameter water distribution manifolds. The spigot end inserts into an existing 8-inch socket fitting, while the slip end accepts a 6-inch pipe with solvent cement. It ships as a single unit.

Key Features

• Reduces 8-inch pipe connections down to 6-inch pipe connections in a single fitting
• Schedule 40 PVC construction for standard-service pressure and temperature ratings
• Spigot x Slip end connections allow solvent-cement joining on both ends
• Lightweight PVC material resists corrosion and chemical degradation in standard plumbing service
• Single-piece design simplifies the reduction without additional adapters

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard-service fitting for Schedule 40 PVC piping systems using 8-inch to 6-inch concentric reductions with spigot and slip end connections.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with applicable IPC or local plumbing code requirements. Shut off water supply and depressurize the line completely before cutting into any existing piping. Clean and dry all mating surfaces before applying PVC solvent cement, and allow full cure time per cement manufacturer instructions before returning the line to service. Do not use this fitting in applications exceeding the pressure and temperature ratings of Schedule 40 PVC.
