Value Collection 439-166 Pvc Pipe Bushing Sch 40

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 439-166 is a Schedule 40 PVC pipe bushing designed to reduce a 1-1/4-inch female threaded port down to a 1/2-inch male threaded connection. Made from rigid PVC, this bushing handles standard pressure and chemical-resistance demands found in residential and light commercial plumbing, irrigation, and pool/spa piping systems. The male iron pipe thread (MIPT) on the outer end threads into a female-threaded fitting or valve, while the female iron pipe thread (FIPT) on the inner end accepts a smaller male-threaded pipe or fitting. At 0.09 pounds, it is lightweight and easy to handle during installation.

This bushing is suited for cold and ambient-temperature water distribution, irrigation manifolds, pool equipment pads, and general fluid-handling systems where PVC Schedule 40 pipe and fittings are specified. It is a direct drop-in for reducing pipe size at any threaded junction without requiring additional adapters. Plumbers, irrigation technicians, and pool service professionals commonly use this fitting when transitioning between pipe sizes within a Schedule 40 system.

Key Features

• Schedule 40 PVC construction for standard-service pressure ratings
• Reduces 1-1/4-inch female threaded port to 1/2-inch male threaded connection
• MIPT x FIPT end connections for threaded assembly without solvent welding

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or upgrade fitting for any Schedule 40 PVC threaded piping system requiring a 1-1/4-inch to 1/2-inch bushing reduction.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by plumbers or irrigation technicians working on Schedule 40 PVC threaded systems. Shut off water supply and depressurize the line before disassembling any fittings. Apply PTFE tape or an approved pipe thread sealant to the male threads before assembly — do not overtighten, as PVC threads can crack under excessive torque. Follow all applicable local plumbing codes, including IPC guidelines, for threaded plastic fittings.
