It features a spigot (slip) male end on one side and a female iron pipe thread (FIPT) on the other, making it a standard reducing bushing for low-pressure water and irrigation piping systems. PVC construction resists corrosion and chemical exposure in both above-ground and in-wall residential plumbing and irrigation applications. Plumbers, irrigation technicians, and pool service professionals install this fitting during system assembly or repair where pipe size reduction is required at a threaded port.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis bushing is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing, irrigation manifolds, pool and spa circulation piping, and similar systems where Schedule 40 PVC is specified. The FIPT end threads directly into a female-threaded fitting or valve body, while the slip end accepts standard 1\/2-inch PVC pipe with solvent cement. It is appropriate for cold and ambient-temperature water service lines operating within the pressure ratings of Schedule 40 PVC at the installed temperature.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eReduces 3\/4-inch FIPT port to 1\/2-inch slip (spigot) connection\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSchedule 40 PVC construction for corrosion and chemical resistance\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSlip x FIPT end connections for solvent-weld and threaded assembly\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eLightweight at 0.24 pounds per unit\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCompatible with standard Schedule 40 PVC solvent cement and primer systems\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement or new-install fitting for Schedule 40 PVC piping systems using 3\/4-inch female-threaded ports with 1\/2-inch slip pipe runs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation is performed by licensed plumbers or qualified irrigation and pool service technicians. Shut off and depressurize the water supply before disassembling any piping. The FIPT end should be threaded in with PTFE tape or pipe thread sealant rated for PVC; the slip end requires PVC primer and solvent cement applied per the cement manufacturer instructions and applicable plumbing code. Do not over-torque the threaded connection, as PVC threads can crack under excess force.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: PVC\u003c\/li\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: 3\/4 x 1\/2 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEnd Connection\u003c\/strong\u003e: 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: 0.24 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: 438-101\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"VALUE COLLECTION","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51699849822514,"sku":"438-101","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/c2feffc62468d672d6a96bf9d739b327.jpg?v=1788381938","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/value-collection-438-101-pvc-pipe-bushing-3-4x1-2-in-sch-40","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
