Value Collection 439-101 Pvc Pipe Bushing 3/4x1/2 in Sch 40

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 439-101 is a Schedule 40 PVC pipe bushing designed to reduce a 3/4-inch female threaded port down to a 1/2-inch male threaded connection. It features a male iron pipe thread (MIPT) on the outer end and a female iron pipe thread (FIPT) on the inner end, making it a standard reducing bushing for threaded plastic piping systems. Weighing just 0.02 pounds, this lightweight fitting is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing, irrigation, and fluid-handling applications where a threaded size reduction is needed without adding significant bulk to the assembly.

This bushing is used in Schedule 40 PVC piping systems commonly found in cold water supply, irrigation, and low-pressure fluid distribution lines. Plumbers and irrigation technicians install this fitting when transitioning between pipe sizes within a threaded assembly. It threads directly into a 3/4-inch female-threaded fitting or valve body, accepting 1/2-inch male-threaded pipe or fittings on the opposite end. Its PVC construction makes it appropriate for non-pressurized or moderate-pressure systems where corrosion resistance and chemical compatibility are priorities.

Key Features

• Schedule 40 PVC construction for corrosion resistance and durability in water and fluid-handling systems
• MIPT x FIPT end connections for straightforward threaded installation without tools beyond a wrench or strap wrench
• 3/4 x 1/2-inch reducing configuration covers one of the most common pipe size transitions in residential plumbing and irrigation
• Lightweight at 0.02 pounds, minimizing added load on threaded assemblies
• Compatible with standard Schedule 40 fittings and pipe in threaded PVC systems

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for Schedule 40 threaded PVC piping systems requiring a 3/4-inch to 1/2-inch reducing bushing with MIPT x FIPT connections.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by licensed plumbers or irrigation technicians following applicable IPC or local plumbing code requirements. Shut off water supply and relieve system pressure before threading this bushing into any live line. Apply PTFE thread tape or an approved pipe thread sealant to the male threads before assembly to ensure a leak-free joint. Do not overtighten PVC fittings, as excess torque can crack the fitting body.
