Value Collection 438-071 Pvc Pipe Bushing 1/2x1/8 in Sch 40

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 438-071 is a Schedule 40 PVC pipe bushing designed to reduce a 1/2-inch female threaded port down to a 1/8-inch male spigot connection. This fitting is used to adapt between two different pipe sizes within a PVC piping system. The spigot end slips into a socket fitting or tee, while the female iron pipe thread (FIPT) end accepts a threaded male fitting. Plumbers and irrigation installers use this bushing to transition pipe sizes without adding extra couplings or adapters. The Schedule 40 PVC construction handles standard-pressure, non-threaded socket systems in a range of light-duty fluid conveyance applications.

This bushing is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing, irrigation, and pool or spa piping where size reduction between Schedule 40 PVC runs is needed. The Spigot x FIPT end configuration makes it compatible with standard socket-weld PVC assemblies. It is commonly installed in cold water supply lines, irrigation manifolds, and drainage systems where PVC is the specified pipe material.

Key Features

• 1/2 x 1/8 inch size reduction in a single bushing fitting
• Schedule 40 PVC construction for standard-pressure applications
• Spigot (Slip) x FIPT end connections for versatile installation
• Lightweight at 0.02 pounds per unit
• Compatible with standard PVC solvent-weld and threaded fittings

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for Schedule 40 PVC piping systems using 1/2-inch socket connections and 1/8-inch female iron pipe thread ports.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a licensed plumber or irrigation technician. Shut off the water supply and relieve system pressure before working on any piping assembly. Apply PVC primer and solvent cement to the spigot end per local plumbing code requirements before inserting into the mating socket. Use thread sealant tape on the FIPT end when connecting a threaded male fitting, and hand-tighten before final wrench snugging to avoid cracking the PVC threads.
