Schedule 80 PVC wall thickness provides greater pressure resistance than Schedule 40, making this bushing suitable for demanding low-pressure fluid and chemical handling systems. The fitting is molded from PVC, which resists corrosion and is compatible with a wide range of non-petroleum fluids. Plumbers and pipefitters install this type of bushing when reducing pipe size within a threaded PVC system.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis reducer bushing is used in residential and light commercial plumbing, irrigation, chemical distribution, and pool or spa plumbing systems where a threaded size reduction is required. The MIPT outer thread seats into a female-threaded fitting or valve body, while the FIPT inner thread accepts a 3\/8-inch male-threaded pipe or fitting. Typical applications include branch line reductions, chemical feed systems, and filter or pump manifold assemblies.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSchedule 80 PVC construction offers heavier wall thickness and higher pressure rating than Schedule 40\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eReduces from 1\/2-inch to 3\/8-inch pipe size in a single threaded fitting\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMIPT x FIPT end connections allow direct thread-to-thread installation without additional adapters\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePVC material resists corrosion, scale, and many common chemicals\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCompact bushing profile minimizes space required at the reduction point\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for Schedule 80 threaded PVC piping systems using 1\/2-inch and 3\/8-inch pipe sizes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation is performed by licensed plumbers or qualified pipefitters working on threaded PVC systems. Shut off and depressurize the line completely before disassembling any threaded connections. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape rated for PVC and the fluid being handled. Do not overtighten PVC threaded fittings, as PVC threads can crack under excessive torque.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFitting Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Reducer Bushing\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFitting Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/2 x 3\/8 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: PVC\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSchedule\u003c\/strong\u003e: 80\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEnd Connection\u003c\/strong\u003e: MIPT x FIPT\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.01 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: VALUE COLLECTION\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 839-073\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"VALUE COLLECTION","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51703665033522,"sku":"839-073","price":18.07,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/df73acf87f82990fa3406abc37186631.jpg?v=1788417940","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/value-collection-839-073-pvc-reducer-bushing-sch-80","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
