Value Collection 439-209 Pvc Pipe Bushing 1.5x0.5 in Sch 40

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 439-209 is a Schedule 40 PVC pipe bushing designed to reduce a 1-1/2 inch female threaded port down to a 1/2 inch male threaded connection. It uses a male iron pipe thread (MIPT) inlet and a female iron pipe thread (FIPT) outlet, allowing a direct threaded transition between two different pipe sizes. At 0.12 pounds, it is lightweight and easy to handle. PVC construction resists corrosion and chemical attack, making it well suited for water distribution, irrigation, and low-pressure fluid systems. Plumbers and irrigation installers are the primary users of this fitting.

This bushing fits into standard Schedule 40 PVC piping systems where a pipe size reduction is needed at a threaded joint. Typical applications include residential and light commercial plumbing, sprinkler and irrigation manifolds, pool and spa plumbing, and general fluid handling where threaded PVC fittings are specified. It is sold as a single unit.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed plumbers or qualified irrigation technicians. Shut off water supply and relieve system pressure before threading this bushing into place. Apply PTFE thread tape or an approved pipe thread sealant to the male threads before assembly. Do not overtighten PVC threaded fittings, as excess torque can crack the fitting body.
