Value Collection 439-131 Pvc Pipe Bushing 1x3/4 in Sch 40

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 439-131 is a Schedule 40 PVC pipe bushing used to reduce a 1-inch female threaded port down to a 3/4-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 socket end, allowing a straightforward threaded reduction without additional adapters. Weighing 0.05 pounds, it is a lightweight, corrosion-resistant fitting suited for low-pressure water distribution, irrigation, and general plumbing systems. Plumbers and pipefitters install this bushing wherever a threaded size reduction is needed in a PVC piping run.

This bushing is commonly used in residential and light commercial plumbing systems, irrigation lines, and pool or spa plumbing where PVC Schedule 40 pipe is the specified material. It threads directly into any standard 1-inch FIPT fitting or valve body and accepts a 3/4-inch MIPT fitting, nipple, or pipe on the outlet side. Its Schedule 40 wall thickness makes it appropriate for standard working-pressure applications within the rated limits of PVC thermoplastic pipe systems.

Key Features

• Threaded reduction from 1-inch to 3/4-inch in a single fitting
• MIPT x FIPT end connections for all-threaded installation with no solvent cement required
• Schedule 40 PVC construction resists corrosion, scale, and most common water treatment chemicals
• Lightweight at 0.05 pounds for easy handling in tight spaces
• UNSPSC Code 40175300 for procurement and catalog matching

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting compatible with Schedule 40 PVC threaded piping systems using 1-inch and 3/4-inch NPT-standard connections.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed plumbers or qualified pipefitters in accordance with applicable IPC or local plumbing code requirements. Shut off and depressurize the water supply before threading or unthreading any fittings. Apply PTFE thread tape or an approved pipe thread sealant to the male threads before assembly. Do not overtighten PVC threaded fittings, as PVC is susceptible to stress cracking under excessive torque.
