Value Collection 439-167 Pvc Pipe Bushing Sch 40 Mipt Fipt

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 439-167 is a Schedule 40 PVC pipe bushing designed to reduce a 1-1/4 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 seat, allowing a direct threaded reduction between two pipes or fittings of different sizes. Weighing 0.08 pounds, this bushing is lightweight and suited for low-pressure water distribution, irrigation, and general plumbing applications where a concentric threaded reduction is required. Plumbers and pipefitters install this fitting as part of a threaded PVC assembly.

This bushing is appropriate for residential and light commercial plumbing systems, irrigation lines, and water supply distribution where Schedule 40 PVC is the specified pipe material. The MIPT x FIPT thread configuration makes it compatible with standard threaded PVC pipe and fittings across those applications. It is sold individually and suited for repair, retrofit, or new construction work where a 1-1/4 inch to 3/4 inch threaded reduction is needed in a PVC system.

Key Features

• Schedule 40 wall thickness rating for standard-pressure plumbing service
• MIPT x FIPT end connections allow direct in-line threaded reduction
• Reduces from 1-1/4 inch to 3/4 inch pipe size in a single fitting
• PVC construction resists corrosion and is compatible with potable water systems
• Lightweight at 0.08 pounds, minimizing load on threaded assemblies

Compatibility

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

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a licensed plumber or qualified pipefitter. Shut off the water supply and relieve system pressure before disassembling any threaded connections. Apply thread sealant tape or an approved pipe thread compound to the male threads before assembly. Do not overtighten PVC threaded fittings, as PVC is susceptible to cracking under excessive torque.
