Value Collection 438-131 Pvc Pipe Bushing 1x3/4 in Sch 40

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 438-131 is a Schedule 40 PVC pipe bushing used to reduce a 1-inch pipe connection down to a 3/4-inch fitting. It features a spigot (slip) inlet on the larger end and a female iron pipe thread (FIPT) outlet on the smaller end. This bushing is a standard component in low-pressure water distribution, irrigation, and general plumbing systems. At 0.31 pounds, it is lightweight and easy to handle during installation. Plumbers and pipefitters install this fitting wherever a threaded female port must accept a smaller-diameter threaded male connection in a PVC line.

This bushing is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing, pool and spa piping, and irrigation system assemblies. The Schedule 40 wall thickness rating makes it appropriate for standard working pressures found in cold and ambient-temperature water lines. The spigot end is designed to be solvent-cemented into a socket fitting of the corresponding size, while the FIPT end accepts a 3/4-inch male threaded pipe or fitting.

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting compatible with Schedule 40 PVC piping systems using 1-inch socket fittings and 3/4-inch male threaded connections.

Installation Notes

Installation of this fitting should be performed by a licensed plumber or qualified pipefitter following applicable IPC and local plumbing code requirements. Shut off water supply and depressurize the line before beginning work. The spigot end requires appropriate PVC primer and solvent cement applied per the cement manufacturer instructions; do not substitute adhesives not rated for PVC pressure fittings. Allow full cure time before restoring system pressure.
