Value Collection 438-210 Pvc Pipe Bushing 1.5x0.75 in Sch 40

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 438-210 is a Schedule 40 PVC pipe bushing designed to reduce a 1-1/2 inch pipe connection down to a 3/4 inch threaded female port. The slip inlet (spigot) fits directly into a socket fitting or valve body, while the female iron pipe thread (FIPT) outlet accepts standard male-threaded pipe or fittings. At 0.43 pounds, this lightweight bushing is well suited for low-pressure water distribution, irrigation, and drainage applications. Plumbers and pipefitters use this type of reducer bushing when a branch line or equipment port requires a step-down transition without adding extra coupling hardware.

This bushing is used in residential and light commercial plumbing systems where a size reduction is needed between Schedule 40 PVC piping and threaded connections. Typical applications include irrigation manifolds, pool and spa plumbing, cold water supply lines, and drain-waste-vent (DWV) lateral connections that require a threaded outlet. The slip inlet allows solvent-cemented assembly into standard Schedule 40 socket fittings, and the FIPT outlet threads directly onto male-threaded nipples, valves, or equipment ports.

Key Features

• Schedule 40 PVC construction rated for standard cold water and irrigation service pressures
• Slip (spigot) inlet for solvent-cement installation into Schedule 40 socket fittings
• Female iron pipe thread (FIPT) outlet for direct connection to male NPT pipe and fittings
• 1-1/2 inch to 3/4 inch size reduction in a single compact fitting
• Lightweight at 0.43 pounds, reducing load on threaded connections

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for Schedule 40 PVC piping systems using standard slip and female iron pipe thread connections.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by plumbers or pipefitters following IPC and local plumbing codes. Shut off and depressurize the water supply before cutting into any existing line. Apply PVC primer and solvent cement to the slip end per the cement manufacturer's instructions before seating into the socket fitting. Apply thread sealant tape or pipe thread compound to all male threaded connections before threading into the FIPT outlet; do not over-tighten threaded joints on PVC fittings.
