Value Collection 839-167 Pvc Pipe Bushing Sch 80 Mipt Fipt

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 839-167 is a Schedule 80 PVC threaded pipe bushing used to reduce a 1-1/4 inch female threaded port down to a 3/4 inch male threaded connection. It features male iron pipe thread (MIPT) on the outer end and female iron pipe thread (FIPT) on the inner end, allowing it to serve as a concentric reducer in threaded PVC piping systems. The Schedule 80 wall thickness makes it suitable for higher-pressure applications compared to Schedule 40 fittings. Plumbers and pipefitters install this bushing in water supply, irrigation, chemical distribution, and industrial process lines where PVC is an appropriate material choice.

This bushing is used in residential and commercial plumbing systems, pool and spa equipment piping, irrigation distribution networks, and industrial fluid-handling installations. It fits directly into any standard 1-1/4 inch FIPT socket or fitting and accepts a standard 3/4 inch MIPT threaded pipe or fitting on the male end. Its PVC construction resists corrosion and is well suited for cold and ambient-temperature water service as well as many chemical applications where PVC compatibility has been verified.

Key Features

• Schedule 80 PVC construction for higher pressure ratings compared to Schedule 40
• MIPT x FIPT end connections allow direct thread-in installation with no tools beyond pipe wrenches or strap wrenches
• Reduces 1-1/4 inch female threaded ports to accept 3/4 inch male threaded pipe or fittings
• Corrosion-resistant PVC material suitable for water, irrigation, and compatible chemical service
• Lightweight at 0.29 pounds, simplifying handling in tight spaces

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for any threaded PVC piping system requiring a 1-1/4 inch to 3/4 inch concentric bushing reduction with MIPT x FIPT connections.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed plumbers or qualified pipefitters following applicable IPC and local plumbing code requirements. Shut off and depressurize the line before removing any existing fittings. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male threads before hand-tightening, then snug with a strap wrench — do not overtighten PVC threads, as the material is susceptible to stress cracking. Confirm PVC material compatibility with the fluid being conveyed before installation.
