Value Collection 839-209 Pvc Pipe Bushing Sch 80

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 839-209 is a Schedule 80 PVC pipe bushing designed to reduce a 1-1/2 inch female threaded port down to a 1/2 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 seat directly inside a larger threaded fitting or valve. Schedule 80 wall thickness gives this bushing added pressure tolerance and mechanical strength compared to Schedule 40 equivalents. Plumbers and pipefitters install this type of reducer bushing when joining two threaded lines of different diameters within a PVC piping system.

This bushing suits residential and light commercial plumbing, irrigation, and industrial process piping where PVC is an approved material. Typical applications include reducing branch lines off main headers, adapting between mismatched threaded fittings, and connecting smaller-diameter instrumentation or drain ports to larger pipe runs. It is not rated for systems requiring metal fittings or elevated temperature service beyond PVC material limits.

Key Features

• Schedule 80 PVC construction for higher pressure ratings versus Schedule 40
• MIPT x FIPT end connections for direct threaded installation into a female socket
• 1-1/2 inch to 1/2 inch reduction in a single compact fitting
• Corrosion-resistant PVC material suitable for water, irrigation, and chemical piping within PVC compatibility limits
• Sold as a single unit with no minimum order beyond one piece

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for Schedule 80 PVC threaded piping systems using 1-1/2 inch female threaded ports and 1/2 inch male threaded connections.

Installation Notes

A licensed plumber or pipefitter should install this bushing in systems subject to local plumbing codes such as the IPC or UPC. Depressurize and drain the line completely before removing or installing any threaded fitting. Apply an appropriate PVC-rated thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male threads before making up the joint by hand and then snugging with a strap wrench. Avoid over-tightening, which can crack PVC threads.
