Value Collection 839-338 Pvc Reducer Bushing 3x2 in Sch 80

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 839-338 is a Schedule 80 PVC reducer bushing designed to transition pipe from a 3-inch line down to a 2-inch line within a threaded piping system. Constructed from PVC, this bushing offers solid resistance to corrosion and common chemicals encountered in plumbing and industrial fluid-handling applications. The male iron pipe thread (MIPT) on the outer end connects into a female-threaded fitting or valve, while the female iron pipe thread (FIPT) on the inner end accepts the smaller-diameter pipe. Schedule 80 wall thickness provides added pressure tolerance compared to Schedule 40, making this bushing appropriate for higher-demand service conditions. Plumbers and pipefitters are the primary installers of this type of fitting.

This reducer bushing suits residential and light commercial plumbing systems, irrigation lines, chemical distribution piping, and industrial process lines where a threaded PVC reduction is required. It is used anywhere a 3-inch threaded female port needs to step down to accept 2-inch male-threaded pipe or components. The MIPT x FIPT configuration makes it a direct thread-in replacement or new-installation fitting without the need for additional adapters at the reduction point.

Key Features

• Schedule 80 PVC construction for higher pressure tolerance versus Schedule 40
• Reduces from 3-inch to 2-inch pipe in a single threaded fitting
• MIPT x FIPT end connections for fully threaded installation without solvent welding
• PVC material resists corrosion and a broad range of chemicals
• Compact bushing form factor fits directly into an existing female-threaded port

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for Schedule 80 threaded PVC piping systems requiring a 3-inch to 2-inch reduction with MIPT x FIPT end connections.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a licensed plumber or qualified pipefitter in accordance with applicable IPC or local plumbing code requirements. Shut off the water supply and relieve system pressure completely before making any threaded connections. Apply PTFE thread tape or an approved pipe-thread sealant to the male threads before assembly to ensure a leak-free joint. Do not use solvent cement on threaded PVC fittings, and do not over-tighten, as PVC threads can crack under excessive torque.
