Value Collection 839-251 Pvc Pipe Bushing 2x1.5 in Sch 80

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 839-251 is a Schedule 80 PVC pipe bushing designed to reduce a 2-inch female threaded port down to a 1.5-inch male threaded connection. It features a male iron pipe thread (MIPT) on the outer end and a female iron pipe thread (FIPT) on the inner end, making it a standard reducing bushing for threaded PVC piping systems. At 0.35 pounds, it is lightweight and easy to handle during installation. Schedule 80 wall thickness gives it added pressure-handling capability compared to Schedule 40 fittings, making it suitable for demanding fluid handling and chemical transport applications. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters are the typical installers of this fitting.

This bushing is used in residential and commercial plumbing, irrigation, industrial fluid systems, and chemical processing lines where PVC is an acceptable pipe material. The Schedule 80 rating makes it appropriate for higher-pressure service runs. It is commonly installed at pump outlets, filter housings, valve bodies, and manifold connections where a 2-inch port must be reduced to accept 1.5-inch threaded pipe or fittings.

Key Features

• Schedule 80 PVC construction for higher pressure and impact resistance versus Schedule 40
• 2-inch MIPT x 1.5-inch FIPT end connections for standard threaded pipe reduction
• PVC material resists corrosion and is compatible with a wide range of chemicals and fluids
• Lightweight at 0.35 pounds for easy single-hand installation
• 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 standard NPT thread patterns in 2-inch and 1.5-inch sizes.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or qualified pipefitter in accordance with local plumbing codes and ASTM standards for PVC pressure fittings. Depressurize and drain the system fully before removing or installing any threaded fittings. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male threads before assembly, and tighten by hand first, then snug with strap or pipe wrenches. Avoid over-tightening, as excessive torque can crack PVC threaded fittings.
