It features a Slip (spigot) inlet and a Female Iron Pipe Thread (FIPT) outlet, allowing it to transition between a plain-end pipe and a threaded fitting in the same joint. This type of bushing is a standard component in cold and ambient-temperature water distribution, irrigation, and non-pressure drainage systems. Plumbers and pipefitters install this fitting wherever a concentric pipe reduction is needed within a PVC system without adding an extra coupling or adapter in the line.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 438-292 is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing applications where Schedule 40 PVC is the specified material. Common install scenarios include potable cold-water supply, irrigation manifolds, pool and spa plumbing, and low-pressure chemical distribution lines where PVC is compatible with the fluid being conveyed. The Slip x FIPT configuration connects directly to a plain pipe end on one side and a male-threaded fitting or valve on the other, making it useful at equipment connections and branch takeoffs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eReduces 2.5-inch to 2-inch pipe connections in a single fitting\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSchedule 40 PVC construction for standard-pressure cold-water service\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSlip (spigot) inlet accepts solvent-cement joining to a plain pipe end\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFIPT outlet threads onto any male NPT fitting, valve, or equipment port\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eLightweight at 0.31 pounds — easy to handle in tight spaces\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCompatible with standard PVC solvent cements and primers per ASTM D2564\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for Schedule 40 PVC piping systems using 2.5-inch to 2-inch concentric reductions with Slip x FIPT end connections.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation is performed by a licensed plumber or qualified pipefitter following local plumbing codes and ASTM solvent-cement procedures. Shut off and depressurize the system completely before cutting into any existing line. Apply the appropriate PVC primer and solvent cement to the spigot end and mating pipe socket; the FIPT end requires PTFE thread tape or an approved pipe-thread sealant on the male threads being engaged. Do not over-tighten threaded connections on PVC fittings, as the material is susceptible to cracking under excess torque.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFitting Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Bushing\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFitting Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2.5 x 2 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: PVC\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEnd Connection\u003c\/strong\u003e: Slip (Spigot) x FIPT\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSchedule\u003c\/strong\u003e: 40\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.31 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: VALUE COLLECTION\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 438-292\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"VALUE COLLECTION","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51696437756210,"sku":"438-292","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/5a6a3cda3ce81b6ea47bda6a4902fe8d.jpg?v=1788342670","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/value-collection-438-292-pvc-bushing-2-5x2-in-sch-40-slip-x-fipt","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
