Value Collection 839-168C Cpvc Pipe Bushing Sch 80

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 839-168C is a Schedule 80 CPVC pipe bushing designed to reduce a 1-1/4-inch female threaded port down to a 1-inch male threaded connection. CPVC construction provides resistance to corrosion and elevated service temperatures, making this bushing suitable for hot and cold water distribution, chemical handling, and industrial piping systems. The fitting uses male iron pipe thread (MIPT) on the outer end and female iron pipe thread (FIPT) on the inner socket, allowing it to thread directly into existing Schedule 80 CPVC fittings or valves. This bushing weighs 0.28 pounds and ships as a single unit. Plumbers and pipefitters install this type of fitting during new construction and retrofit work.

This bushing is used in residential and light commercial plumbing systems where a threaded size reduction is needed within a CPVC piping assembly. Common applications include water supply lines, irrigation headers, chemical distribution manifolds, and industrial process piping. The Schedule 80 wall thickness provides additional pressure handling capability compared to Schedule 40 fittings, making it appropriate for higher-demand service conditions. Installation requires no solvent cementing at the threaded connection points — threads are engaged directly with appropriate thread sealant or tape.

Key Features

• Schedule 80 CPVC construction for corrosion resistance and elevated temperature service
• 1-1/4 inch to 1 inch reducing bushing for threaded piping assemblies
• MIPT x FIPT end connections for direct thread engagement without cementing
• Heavier Schedule 80 wall thickness compared to Schedule 40 for added durability
• Sold as a single unit

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard-fit component for Schedule 80 CPVC threaded piping systems using 1-1/4 inch and 1 inch iron pipe thread connections.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed plumbers or qualified pipefitters. Shut off the water supply and depressurize the line before threading any fitting. Apply PTFE thread tape or an approved pipe thread sealant to the male threads before assembly — do not over-tighten, as CPVC threads can crack under excessive torque. Refer to local plumbing codes and ASTM standards for CPVC system requirements.
