Value Collection 837-168C Cpvc Pipe Bushing 1-1/4x1 in Sch 80

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 837-168C is a Schedule 80 CPVC pipe bushing designed to reduce a 1-1/4 inch pipe connection down to a 1 inch fitting. It features a spigot on the larger end and a slip socket on the smaller end, allowing it to connect directly into standard CPVC fittings without additional adapters. CPVC construction provides strong resistance to corrosion, chlorinated water, and elevated temperatures, making it well suited for hot and cold water distribution systems. Plumbing contractors and pipefitters install this bushing as part of CPVC piping assemblies where a reduction in pipe size is required at a joint.

This bushing is appropriate for residential and light commercial plumbing applications where Schedule 80 CPVC piping is specified. Common installation scenarios include potable water supply lines, chemical distribution systems compatible with CPVC, and industrial process piping operating within the pressure and temperature ratings of Schedule 80 CPVC. The spigot x slip end configuration allows it to be solvent-cemented into place using standard CPVC primer and cement per manufacturer and code requirements.

Key Features

• Schedule 80 wall thickness for higher pressure ratings compared to Schedule 40
• CPVC material provides corrosion resistance and compatibility with chlorinated water
• Spigot x slip end connections for solvent-cement installation
• Reduces 1-1/4 inch pipe to 1 inch fitting in a single component
• Lightweight at 0.28 pounds, minimizing load on piping systems

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard-fit component for Schedule 80 CPVC piping systems using solvent-cement spigot and slip end connections.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with applicable local plumbing codes and ASTM standards for CPVC solvent-cement joining. Shut off the water supply and depressurize the line before cutting into any existing piping. Use CPVC-rated primer and solvent cement only — do not use PVC cement, as it is not rated for CPVC. Allow full cure time per the cement manufacturer specifications before pressurizing the system.
