Value Collection 839-339 Pvc Reducer Bushing 3x2.5 in Sch 80

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 839-339 is a Schedule 80 PVC reducer bushing designed to transition pipe diameter from 3 inches down to 2.5 inches within a pressurized piping system. It features 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 a fitting or valve body. Schedule 80 PVC wall thickness provides greater pressure capacity than Schedule 40, making it suitable for industrial, chemical, and high-demand plumbing applications. Plumbers and pipefitters install this bushing when downsizing threaded PVC runs without cutting into the line.

This reducer bushing is appropriate for residential and light commercial plumbing, irrigation systems, industrial process piping, and chemical distribution lines where PVC material is code-acceptable. The MIPT x FIPT end configuration makes it a threaded inline reducer, compatible with standard NPT-threaded PVC fittings, valves, and pipe schedules. It is sold individually and is well suited for repair, retrofit, and new-installation work requiring a reliable threaded size transition.

Key Features

• Schedule 80 PVC construction for increased pressure rating over standard Schedule 40 fittings
• 3 inch MIPT to 2.5 inch FIPT end connections for threaded inline diameter reduction
• PVC material offers corrosion resistance and compatibility with a wide range of chemicals
• Lightweight at 0.38 pounds, simplifying handling and installation
• Sold as a single unit, suitable for one-off repairs or bulk procurement

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard-fit bushing for Schedule 80 PVC threaded piping systems using NPT connections.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed plumbers or qualified pipefitters working on PVC threaded systems. Shut off and depressurize the line completely before removing any existing fitting or bushing. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape rated for PVC and the conveyed media before threading the bushing into place. Do not over-torque PVC threaded fittings, as excessive force can crack the material; hand-tight plus a moderate wrench turn is the standard practice.
