438-212 1 1/2" x 1 1/4" Sp x Fpt Reducer Bushing PVC SCH 40
$1.41
This PVC bushing is a compact product designed to reduce a larger pipe opening to a smaller threaded outlet without adding unnecessary length. As a reducing bushing, it functions as a precise transition point within plumbing systems, helping align pipe fittings while maintaining flow efficiency.
Manufactured from Schedule 40 PVC, this bushing offers excellent resistance to corrosion and chemical exposure. The flush spigot design allows the bushing to seat inside a hub, maintaining clean alignment and minimizing protrusion. These all make the 1-1/2" x 1-1/4" SP x FPT Reducer Bushing a dependable choice for plumbing, irrigation, and general water distribution systems.

Typical Applications
This PVC bushing is commonly used for a range of PVC applications where reducers are needed to adapt pipe diameters while maintaining system integrity. The most popular use cases include:
- Potable water plumbing systems
- Irrigation and sprinkler piping
- Residential and commercial water distribution
- Pump, valve, and filtration connections

Installation & Handling Tips
- Dry-fit the spigot end into the receiving socket to confirm proper PVC fitting size before cementing
- Use PVC primer and solvent cement on the spigot side for a secure bond
- Apply PTFE tape or approved sealant to the threaded outlet
- Avoid overtightening threaded connections
