Value Collection 839-128 Pvc Reducer Bushing Sch 80

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 839-128 is a Schedule 80 PVC reducer bushing designed to reduce a 1-inch female threaded port down to a 1/4-inch male threaded connection. It uses a male iron pipe thread (MIPT) inlet and a female iron pipe thread (FIPT) outlet, allowing a straightforward threaded installation into existing piping systems. At 0.06 pounds, this is a compact, lightweight fitting suited for low-pressure chemical, water distribution, and irrigation lines where PVC construction is appropriate. Plumbers and pipe fitters install this bushing when a line size reduction is needed at a threaded fitting without additional adapters.

This reducer bushing is used in residential and light commercial plumbing, irrigation, and fluid-handling systems where PVC pipe is specified. Schedule 80 wall thickness makes it suitable for applications requiring greater pressure rating and mechanical strength compared to Schedule 40 fittings. Typical install scenarios include reducing branch lines, adapting instruments or valves with 1/4-inch male threads into 1-inch female threaded ports, and similar size-transition points in plastic piping networks.

Key Features

• Schedule 80 PVC construction for increased wall thickness and pressure capability
• MIPT x FIPT end connections for straightforward threaded assembly without solvent welding
• Reduces 1-inch female port to 1/4-inch male thread in a single fitting
• Lightweight at 0.06 pounds, minimizing load on threaded connections
• PVC material resists corrosion and is compatible with a wide range of water-based and mild chemical fluids

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for Schedule 80 PVC threaded piping systems using standard NPT thread forms.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed plumbers or qualified pipe fitters in accordance with applicable IPC and local plumbing codes. Shut off and depressurize the line completely before removing or installing any threaded fitting. Apply thread sealant tape or appropriate pipe dope to the male threads before assembly and hand-tighten before using a strap wrench — avoid over-torquing PVC threads, as the material can crack. Do not use pipe wrenches or excessive force that could stress the fitting body.
