Value Collection 438-130 Pvc Pipe Bushing 1x1/2 in Sch 40

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 438-130 is a Schedule 40 PVC pipe bushing designed to reduce a 1-inch female fitting down to a 1/2-inch male connection. It uses a spigot (slip) inlet and a female iron pipe thread (FIPT) outlet, allowing straightforward integration into standard PVC piping systems. At 0.32 pounds, this lightweight fitting handles typical low-pressure water distribution, irrigation, and drainage applications. Licensed plumbers, irrigation technicians, and pool service professionals use this bushing when transitioning between pipe sizes within a Schedule 40 PVC assembly.

This bushing is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing, irrigation manifolds, and pool or spa circulation systems where a reduction from 1-inch to 1/2-inch pipe is required. The FIPT outlet threads directly onto a 1/2-inch male-threaded fitting or valve. The spigot end inserts into a standard 1-inch PVC socket fitting and is solvent-welded in place. It is compatible with Schedule 40 PVC piping systems operating under standard working pressures for this material and schedule rating.

Key Features

• Reduces 1-inch spigot inlet to 1/2-inch FIPT outlet for size transitions in PVC systems
• Schedule 40 PVC construction for compatibility with standard-pressure water service
• Spigot end accepts solvent cement for a leak-free socket joint
• FIPT outlet threads onto any standard 1/2-inch male NPT fitting or valve
• Lightweight at 0.32 pounds for easy handling in tight spaces

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for Schedule 40 PVC piping systems requiring a 1-inch to 1/2-inch spigot-by-FIPT reduction.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a licensed plumber or qualified irrigation technician. Shut off the water supply and relieve system pressure before cutting into any existing piping. The spigot end requires primer and solvent cement applied per the fitting and cement manufacturer instructions and applicable IPC guidelines. Do not use solvent-welded PVC fittings on systems carrying fluids at temperatures or pressures exceeding the Schedule 40 PVC rating for the installed configuration.
