Value Collection 438-249 Pvc Pipe Bushing 2x1 Sch 40

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 438-249 is a Schedule 40 PVC pipe bushing designed to reduce a 2-inch pipe connection down to a 1-inch female iron pipe thread (FIPT) port. It features a slip (spigot) inlet and a threaded FIPT outlet, making it a standard reducer fitting for low-pressure water and fluid distribution systems. Weighing 0.45 pounds, this bushing is suited for use in residential and light commercial plumbing installations where a compact, solvent-weld-to-thread transition is needed. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters are the primary installers for this type of fitting.

This bushing is used in Schedule 40 PVC piping systems carrying water, irrigation fluid, or compatible low-pressure liquids. The slip inlet accepts a standard 2-inch PVC pipe for solvent cementing, while the FIPT outlet threads onto a 1-inch male-threaded fitting or valve. Typical applications include irrigation manifolds, pool and spa plumbing, and general water service lines where a reduction from 2 inches to 1 inch is required at a threaded junction.

Key Features

• Reduces 2-inch slip (spigot) connection to 1-inch female iron pipe thread (FIPT)
• Schedule 40 PVC construction for standard-duty water and fluid service
• Slip inlet allows solvent-cement bonding to standard 2-inch PVC pipe
• FIPT outlet threads directly onto 1-inch male NPT fittings, valves, or adapters
• Lightweight at 0.45 pounds for easy handling and overhead installations

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-install fitting for Schedule 40 PVC piping systems requiring a 2-inch slip to 1-inch FIPT reducing bushing.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or qualified pipefitter in accordance with applicable IPC and local plumbing codes. Shut off and depressurize the water supply before cutting into any existing line. Use the appropriate PVC primer and solvent cement on the slip end per the cement manufacturer and ASTM D2564 guidelines. Do not over-torque the FIPT connection; apply PTFE thread tape or pipe thread sealant to the male threads before assembly to prevent leaks.
