Value Collection 839-098 Pvc Reducer Bushing 3/4x1/4 in Sch 80

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 839-098 is a Schedule 80 PVC reducer bushing designed to transition pipe connections from a 3/4-inch line down to a 1/4-inch line. The bushing uses a male iron pipe thread (MIPT) on the outer end and a female iron pipe thread (FIPT) on the inner end, threading directly into a fitting or tee without additional adapters. At 0.03 pounds, it is a lightweight, single-piece fitting suited for low-pressure chemical, irrigation, and water distribution systems where corrosion resistance and chemical compatibility matter. Plumbers and pipefitters install this bushing as part of a threaded assembly in residential and light commercial applications.

This reducer bushing is used wherever a threaded PVC system requires a step-down from 3/4-inch to 1/4-inch connections. Common applications include irrigation manifolds, chemical feed lines, water treatment systems, and industrial process piping where PVC is the specified material. Schedule 80 wall thickness provides additional pressure capability and durability compared to Schedule 40, making it appropriate for higher-demand installations within the rated limits of the material.

Key Features

• Schedule 80 PVC construction for increased wall thickness and pressure rating compared to Schedule 40
• Reduces from 3/4-inch to 1/4-inch in a single threaded fitting
• MIPT x FIPT end connections for direct thread-in installation
• Lightweight at 0.03 pounds — minimal load on the assembly
• Corrosion-resistant PVC material suitable for water and many chemical service applications

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style threaded replacement or new-installation fitting for Schedule 80 PVC piping systems with 3/4-inch by 1/4-inch MIPT x FIPT threaded connections.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed plumbers or qualified pipefitters working on threaded PVC systems. Turn off and depressurize the line before removing or installing any threaded fitting. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape rated for PVC and the service fluid before threading the bushing into place. Do not overtighten — PVC threads can crack under excessive torque; hand-tight plus one to two turns with strap wrench is standard practice for threaded PVC fittings.
