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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1\/2 x 1\/8 inch size reduction in a single bushing fitting\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSchedule 40 PVC construction for standard-pressure applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSpigot (Slip) x FIPT end connections for versatile installation\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eLightweight at 0.02 pounds per unit\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCompatible with standard PVC solvent-weld and threaded fittings\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFitting Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Bushing\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFitting Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/2 x 1\/8 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: PVC\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEnd Connection\u003c\/strong\u003e: Spigot (Slip) x FIPT\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSchedule\u003c\/strong\u003e: 40\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.02 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: VALUE COLLECTION\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 438-071\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"VALUE COLLECTION","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51713653276978,"sku":"438-071","price":15.73,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/3747dc43585b69d53388cae47fb3227d.jpg?v=1788494709","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/value-collection-438-071-pvc-pipe-bushing-1-2x1-8-in-sch-40","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
