Value Collection 438-248 Pvc Pipe Bushing Sch 40 Slip X Fipt

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 438-248 is a Schedule 40 PVC pipe bushing designed to reduce a 2-inch pipe connection down to a 0.75-inch threaded fitting. It features a Slip (spigot) inlet and a Female Iron Pipe Thread (FIPT) outlet, allowing a smooth socket-glued connection on the larger side and a threaded connection on the smaller side. Weighing 0.43 pounds, this bushing is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing, irrigation, and water distribution systems where a concentric size reduction is needed between two pipe segments. Plumbers and pipefitters install this fitting as a standard component in PVC pressure piping assemblies.

This bushing is appropriate for cold and ambient-temperature water service in above-ground and underground drain, waste, and supply piping where Schedule 40 PVC is the specified material. It is well suited for irrigation manifolds, pool and spa plumbing, and general-purpose water distribution where a 2-inch to 0.75-inch reduction is required. The FIPT outlet accepts any standard male NPT-threaded fitting, valve, or adapter.

Key Features

• Concentric reducer bushing: 2-inch Slip inlet to 0.75-inch FIPT outlet
• Schedule 40 wall thickness rating for standard-pressure PVC systems
• Slip (spigot) end accepts standard PVC solvent-weld socket connections
• FIPT outlet threads to any standard male NPT fitting or valve
• Lightweight PVC construction at 0.43 pounds

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for Schedule 40 PVC piping systems requiring a 2-inch to 0.75-inch concentric reduction with a Slip inlet and FIPT outlet.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter. Shut off and depressurize the water supply before cutting into any existing line. Apply PVC primer and solvent cement to the spigot end per the fitting manufacturer instructions and applicable IPC or local plumbing code requirements. Thread connections should be made with PTFE tape or approved pipe thread sealant on the male NPT fitting before engaging the FIPT outlet.
