2 inch x 1-1/2 inch CPVC Reducing Bushing – Precision Fit for High-Performance Piping Systems

The 2 inch x 1-1/2 inch CPVC reducing bushing is engineered to provide a reliable transition between different pipe diameters in chlorinated polyvinyl chloride (CPVC) piping systems. This fitting is designed for solvent-welded applications, offering contractors a dependable solution for adapting piping while maintaining system integrity under pressure and temperature demands.

Professional-Grade Advantages

• ✔️ Material: High-temperature CPVC conforming to ASTM D2846 (or equivalent for pressure-rated systems)
• ✔️ Corrosion Resistance: Non-metallic composition offers excellent chemical resistance in potable water and hot water distribution systems
• ✔️ Thermal Tolerance: Rated for continuous service at temperatures up to 180°F (82°C)
• ✔️ Reliable Fit: Solvent weld hub connection ensures long-lasting, pressure-rated joints
• ✔️ Lightweight and Easy to Install: Reduces installation time while maintaining mechanical strength

Technical Specifications

• Size: 2 inch x 1-1/2 inch nominal
• Connection Type: Spigot x Slip (SPG x SLIP) for solvent cement welding into a standard socket
• Pressure Rating: Typically 100 PSI at 180°F per CPVC Schedule 80 parameters (verify with manufacturer)
• Compliance: Meets NSF 61 and ASTM F439/F438 (as applicable)

Installation Recommendations

Use CPVC-compatible primer and solvent cement during installation. Proper surface preparation and full insertion depth are essential to achieve maximum holding strength and leak-free performance. Allow appropriate cure time based on ambient temperature and pipe size before pressure testing. Always follow local code requirements and manufacturer installation instructions.

Applications

Commonly used in hot and cold water distribution systems, including residential, institutional, and light commercial plumbing installations. The 2 inch x 1-1/2 inch CPVC bushing is often installed in water heaters, manifold systems, and branch line transitions where pipe size reductions are needed without compromising flow dynamics or structural integrity.

Did You Know?

CPVC bushings provide better thermal and chemical resistance than standard PVC and can handle elevated temperatures—making them ideal for hot water supply systems. Their non-metallic construction eliminates the risk of galvanic corrosion when used with copper or brass valves via transition fittings.

The 2 inch x 1-1/2 inch CPVC reducing bushing delivers the consistency and performance professionals require for mission-critical plumbing systems. Its combination of material resilience, dimensional accuracy, and ease of installation makes it a staple component for adapting pipe sizes while maintaining system compliance and integrity.
