Bushing, Spigot x FPT (Flush Style) PVC Schedule 80 2-1/2" x 1-1/2" (838-291)
$13.75
The 838-291 is a 2-1/2" x 1-1/2" PVC Schedule 80 flush bushing in a spigot x female pipe thread (FPT) configuration. The flush style sits completely within the receiving fitting socket, presenting no protruding hex shoulder — ideal for applications where a streamlined, low-profile assembly is preferred or where available fitting clearance is limited.
Constructed from rigid PVC compound to Schedule 80 wall thickness specifications, this bushing is built for the higher pressure ratings that industrial and commercial systems demand. It reduces a 2-1/2" spigot connection to a 1-1/2" female threaded port — a one-step reduction that maintains generous flow capacity while allowing a direct transition to a 1-1/2" threaded valve, coupling, or branch fitting without intermediate adapters.
The modest size reduction from 2-1/2" to 1-1/2" makes this bushing particularly practical in systems where minimizing pressure drop across the reduction is a design priority. Like all Schedule 80 PVC fittings, the 838-291 is fully resistant to corrosion, chemical attack, and biological fouling — with none of the weight, rust, or galvanic concerns associated with metal fittings.
