It connects a 1-inch male iron pipe thread (MIPT) on the outer end to a 3\/8-inch female iron pipe thread (FIPT) on the inner end, reducing flow path diameter within the fitting itself. Schedule 80 PVC wall thickness provides greater pressure ratings and mechanical strength compared to Schedule 40, making this bushing suitable for moderate-pressure service in chemical, industrial, and plumbing applications. It weighs 0.05 pounds. Plumbers and pipefitters install this fitting when downsizing a branch line or capping a larger threaded port to a smaller connection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis reducer bushing is used in threaded PVC piping systems found in residential and commercial plumbing, irrigation, chemical handling, and industrial process lines. It is installed wherever a threaded 1-inch port must be reduced to accept 3\/8-inch threaded pipe or tubing. The MIPT x FIPT configuration allows it to thread directly into a female-threaded fitting, valve, or tee while accepting a male-threaded 3\/8-inch pipe on the opposite end.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSchedule 80 PVC construction for higher pressure ratings than standard Schedule 40 fittings\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1-inch MIPT x 3\/8-inch FIPT end connections for direct threaded installation\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eReducer bushing design consolidates the size transition into a single compact fitting\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePVC material resists corrosion, scale, and many common chemicals\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eLightweight at 0.05 pounds for easy handling and inventory\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement or standard fitting for Schedule 80 threaded PVC piping systems requiring a 1-inch to 3\/8-inch pipe size reduction.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation is performed by licensed plumbers or qualified pipefitters working with threaded PVC systems. Shut off and depressurize the line before removing any existing fittings. Use PTFE thread tape or an approved thread sealant on male threads before assembly, and hand-tighten followed by wrench tightening — do not overtighten PVC threads, as this can crack the fitting. Follow applicable IPC or local plumbing code requirements for pressure rating and listed fittings in the specific service environment.\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 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: 0.05 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: 839-129\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"VALUE COLLECTION","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51695485223218,"sku":"839-129","price":18.09,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/9f3fd789b37c9650d45b730b9413c2ed.jpg?v=1788335598","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/value-collection-839-129-pvc-sch-80-reducer-bushing-1x3-8-in","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
