1-1/2 inch x 3/4 inch PVC Schedule 40 Bushing Fitting x Plastic

1-1/2 Inch x 3/4 Inch PVC Schedule 40 Reducing Bushing – Spigot x Slip

The 1-1/2 inch x 3/4 inch PVC Schedule 40 Reducing Bushing is a solvent-weld fitting used to reduce pipe size within pressure and drainage systems. This bushing features a 1-1/2 inch spigot end that fits into a socket and a 3/4 inch slip socket for receiving smaller diameter pipe. It is designed for use in rigid PVC piping systems requiring compact and code-compliant transitions between pipe sizes.

Material Composition and Compliance

Constructed from white Schedule 40 PVC per ASTM D1784 Cell Class 12454, this fitting offers corrosion resistance and high dimensional stability. It is NSF-certified for potable water use and manufactured to ASTM D2466 dimensional standards.

• ✅ Material: Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC) Type I, Grade I
• ✅ End Connection: 1-1/2 inch spigot x 3/4 inch slip (solvent weld)
• ✅ Working Pressure: Rated up to 150 PSI at 73°F (when properly installed)
• ✅ Certifications: NSF 14, NSF 61; meets ASTM D2466

Applications

Used in cold water distribution, irrigation systems, non-pressurized drain-waste-vent (DWV) configurations, and piping transitions in residential, commercial, and light industrial settings. This bushing is commonly installed in pump systems, condensate lines, and multi-size pipe headers where a size reduction is needed within a limited space.

Installation Requirements

This fitting is intended for solvent-weld assembly. Surfaces must be properly cleaned, primed, and cemented per PVC installation guidelines. Insert pipe to the proper depth and hold in place until set. Allow full cure time before applying pressure or flow.

• ✅ Joint Preparation: Use primer and solvent cement rated for Schedule 40 PVC
• ✅ Temperature Range: 33°F to 140°F (non-continuous pressure use only)
• ✅ Compatibility: Designed for use with Schedule 40 PVC pipe and fittings

Performance Benefits

• ✅ Compact Design: Ideal for space-constrained installations requiring pipe size transition
• ✅ Non-Metallic: Will not corrode or scale, unlike ferrous fittings
• ✅ Code-Approved: Acceptable for use in potable and non-potable water systems where PVC is permitted

The 1-1/2 inch x 3/4 inch PVC Schedule 40 Bushing provides a reliable, low-maintenance solution for reducing pipe diameter in rigid piping systems. Its solvent-weld connection, compact form, and corrosion-resistant material make it well-suited for new construction, retrofits, and pressure-rated applications where dimensional consistency and code compliance are required.
