Value Collection 438-247 Pvc Pipe Bushing Sch 40 Slip X Fipt

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 438-247 is a Schedule 40 PVC pipe bushing designed to reduce a 2-inch pipe connection down to a 0.5-inch female iron pipe thread (FIPT) port. The slip inlet accepts a plain-end pipe for solvent-cement joining, while the FIPT outlet threads directly onto a male-threaded fitting or valve. PVC construction makes it suitable for cold and ambient-temperature water supply, irrigation, and drainage applications where corrosion resistance and lightweight handling are priorities. Plumbers and irrigation technicians install this fitting as part of standard threaded-to-socket transitions in low-pressure systems.

This bushing is used in residential and light commercial plumbing, irrigation distribution lines, and pool or spa plumbing systems where a reducing connection between a 2-inch slip socket and a 0.5-inch FIPT threaded port is required. It is appropriate for cold water service lines, above-ground irrigation manifolds, and non-pressure-rated drainage transitions built to Schedule 40 specifications.

Key Features

• Schedule 40 PVC construction provides corrosion resistance and chemical compatibility with standard water service fluids
• Slip (spigot) inlet accepts solvent-cement bonding for a permanent, leak-free joint
• FIPT outlet threads onto any standard male NPT fitting or valve body
• Reduces from 2-inch to 0.5-inch in a single compact fitting
• Lightweight at 0.44 pounds, simplifying handling on multi-fitting installations

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting compatible with Schedule 40 PVC piping systems using standard NPT thread forms and solvent-cement socket connections.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed plumbers or qualified irrigation technicians. Shut off and depressurize the supply line before cutting into any existing piping. Apply a compatible PVC primer and solvent cement to both the slip inlet and mating pipe end per the cement manufacturer's instructions and local plumbing code requirements. Thread the FIPT outlet onto the male-threaded counterpart fitting by hand first, then tighten to the fitting manufacturer's recommended engagement — do not over-torque PVC threads.
