Value Collection 839-292 Pvc Reducer Bushing Sch 80 2.5x2 in

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 839-292 is a Schedule 80 PVC reducer bushing designed to connect pipes of two different diameters within a pressurized plumbing system. It measures 2.5 inches on the male end and 2 inches on the female end, with male iron pipe thread (MIPT) on one end and female iron pipe thread (FIPT) on the other. The heavy-wall Schedule 80 construction gives this bushing greater pressure tolerance and impact resistance compared to Schedule 40 fittings. Plumbers and pipefitters install this type of bushing when transitioning between pipe sizes without adding an additional coupling. It weighs approximately 0.24 pounds.

This reducer bushing is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing applications where a direct threaded size reduction is needed in-line. Typical installations include water distribution lines, irrigation systems, and industrial process piping where PVC Schedule 80 material is specified. The MIPT x FIPT configuration allows it to thread directly into a female-threaded fitting or pipe on the larger side and accept a male-threaded fitting on the smaller side, making it a compact single-piece solution for size transitions.

Key Features

• Schedule 80 PVC construction for higher pressure ratings versus Schedule 40
• 2.5-inch MIPT inlet to 2-inch FIPT outlet for direct in-line size reduction
• Threaded end connections on both sides for tool-accessible installation without solvent cement
• Lightweight at 0.24 pounds for easy handling in tight spaces
• PVC material resists corrosion and is compatible with a wide range of non-solvent fluid applications

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct installation fitting for Schedule 80 PVC threaded piping systems requiring a 2.5-inch to 2-inch reduction.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or qualified pipefitter in accordance with applicable IPC and local plumbing codes. Shut off and depressurize the system completely before removing or installing any threaded fittings. Use PTFE thread tape or an approved pipe thread sealant on all male threads before assembly. Do not overtighten threaded PVC fittings, as the material can crack under excessive torque.
