Value Collection 439-211 Pvc Pipe Bushing 1.5x1 in Sch 40

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 439-211 is a Schedule 40 PVC pipe bushing used to reduce a 1-1/2 inch female threaded port down to a 1 inch male threaded connection. The bushing features male iron pipe thread (MIPT) on the outer end and female iron pipe thread (FIPT) on the inner end, allowing a smaller-diameter pipe or fitting to seat directly into a larger threaded fitting or valve body. Weighing 0.11 pounds, this lightweight fitting is sized for low-pressure plumbing, irrigation, and pool or spa piping applications. Licensed plumbers and irrigation technicians are the primary installers of this type of fitting.

This bushing is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing systems where a threaded reduction is needed without adding a coupling or nipple run. Common install scenarios include pump inlet reducers, filter manifold connections, chemical feeder ports, and irrigation zone valve assemblies. The Schedule 40 wall thickness meets standard pressure ratings for cold-water service in these applications. It is sold individually and installs quickly by hand with thread sealant or PTFE tape.

Key Features

• Schedule 40 PVC construction rated for standard cold-water pressure service
• MIPT x FIPT end connections allow direct threaded reduction without additional fittings
• Reduces 1-1/2 inch to 1 inch in a single compact fitting
• Lightweight at 0.11 pounds — minimal added load in tight manifold assemblies
• PVC material resists corrosion, chlorine, and common chemical exposure

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-install fitting for Schedule 40 PVC threaded piping systems using 1-1/2 inch to 1 inch threaded reductions.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a licensed plumber or qualified irrigation technician. Shut off the water supply and relieve system pressure before threading in the bushing. Apply PTFE tape or an appropriate pipe thread sealant to the male threads before assembly — do not overtighten PVC threaded fittings, as cracking can result. Verify that the connected piping system is rated for the same or lower pressure and temperature as this fitting before returning to service.
