Value Collection 438-420 Pvc Pipe Bushing 4x2 in Sch 40

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 438-420 is a Schedule 40 PVC pipe bushing designed to reduce a 4-inch pipe connection down to a 2-inch fitting. It features a Slip (spigot) inlet and a Female Iron Pipe Thread (FIPT) outlet, allowing it to connect a plain-end pipe on one side to a threaded fitting on the other. PVC construction makes it resistant to corrosion and chemical attack, suitable for cold and warm water distribution, irrigation, and drain systems. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this bushing as a standard reduction fitting in residential and light commercial piping assemblies.

This bushing is used in Schedule 40 PVC piping systems where a pipe or fitting size reduction from 4 inches to 2 inches is required. Typical applications include irrigation mainlines, water service laterals, drainage headers, and industrial process lines carrying compatible fluids. The Slip x FIPT end connection style suits installations where one side glues to a plain PVC pipe end and the other threads onto a female-threaded fitting or valve body.

Key Features

• Reduces 4-inch Slip connections to 2-inch FIPT threaded outlets
• Schedule 40 wall thickness for standard-pressure PVC piping systems
• PVC material provides corrosion resistance and chemical compatibility with common water and irrigation fluids
• Slip (spigot) inlet accepts standard solvent-cement installation
• FIPT outlet threads directly onto male-threaded fittings, valves, or adapters

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for Schedule 40 PVC piping systems requiring a 4-inch to 2-inch concentric reduction with Slip x FIPT end connections.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with the International Plumbing Code (IPC) and applicable local codes. Shut off the water supply and depressurize the line before beginning any fitting work. The Slip end requires proper PVC primer and solvent cement applied per the cement manufacturer's instructions; do not skip priming on Schedule 40 joints. The FIPT end should be sealed with PTFE thread tape or an approved pipe thread sealant before threading onto the mating male fitting.
