Value Collection 439-130 Pvc Pipe Bushing 1x1/2 in Sch 40

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 439-130 is a Schedule 40 PVC pipe bushing designed to reduce a 1-inch female threaded port down to a 1/2-inch male threaded connection. It features a male iron pipe thread (MIPT) on one end and a female iron pipe thread (FIPT) on the other, allowing straightforward inline reduction between threaded fittings. Weighing 0.06 pounds, this lightweight bushing is suited for low-pressure water distribution, irrigation, and general plumbing systems where a compact, corrosion-resistant reduction fitting is required. Licensed plumbers and experienced trades installers handle typical installation.

This bushing is used in residential and light commercial plumbing, irrigation manifolds, and fluid distribution lines where a 1-inch line must transition to a 1/2-inch threaded port. Its Schedule 40 wall thickness meets standard pressure ratings for cold and ambient-temperature water service. The MIPT x FIPT configuration makes it compatible with standard NPT-threaded PVC fittings, valves, and pipe nipples commonly found in domestic water and irrigation applications.

Key Features

• Schedule 40 PVC construction provides corrosion resistance and durability in wet environments
• 1-inch x 1/2-inch reduction size for common step-down plumbing applications
• MIPT x FIPT end connections thread directly onto standard NPT-compatible fittings
• Lightweight at 0.06 pounds, simplifying handling and installation in tight spaces
• PVC material is compatible with potable water, irrigation fluid, and many non-aggressive chemicals

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for Schedule 40 PVC threaded piping systems using standard NPT thread patterns.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a licensed plumber following applicable IPC or local plumbing code requirements. Shut off and depressurize the supply line fully before threading the bushing into place. Apply PTFE thread tape or an appropriate pipe thread sealant to the male threads before assembly. Do not over-tighten PVC threaded fittings, as excess torque can crack the socket or fitting body.
