Bushing, Spigot x FPT (Flush Style) PVC Schedule 80 2-1/2" x 1-1/4" (838-290)

The 838-290 is a 2-1/2" x 1-1/4" PVC Schedule 80 flush bushing in a spigot x female pipe thread (FPT) configuration. The flush style seats completely inside the receiving fitting socket with no protruding hex shoulder — making it the right choice when a clean, low-profile assembly is needed or when fitting clearance is tight.

Built to Schedule 80 wall thickness standards from rigid PVC compound, this bushing carries the elevated pressure ratings suited for industrial and commercial pressure service. It reduces a 2-1/2" spigot connection down to a 1-1/4" female threaded port — a moderate reduction that works well when stepping down to a slightly smaller threaded valve, strainer, or branch takeoff while keeping strong flow capacity through the outlet.

Like all Schedule 80 PVC fittings, the 838-290 resists corrosion, chemical attack, and biological fouling without the weight, rust, or conductivity concerns that come with metal alternatives.
