Bushing, Spigot x FPT (Flush Style) PVC Schedule 80 6" x 2" (838-528)

The 6" x 2" PVC Schedule 80 Flush Bushing (838-528) transitions a 6" solvent-welded socket connection down to a 2" female-threaded port in a single compact fitting — with a flush-style profile that seats fully recessed within the mating 6" socket rather than projecting outward from its face. The spigot end solvent-welds permanently into any standard 6" Schedule 80 slip socket, while the 2" FPT port accepts any standard 2" male-threaded fitting, valve, adapter, or equipment connection downstream.

At a 6" inlet to 2" outlet, the 838-528 represents the most pronounced size differential in the 6" flush bushing series — purpose-built for systems where a large-diameter primary header must transition directly to a small-diameter threaded service connection without a cascading series of intermediate reducer fittings. The single-fitting reduction keeps the transition point compact, minimizes joint count, and eliminates the assembly complexity of chaining multiple bushings or reducers to achieve the same size step-down. Typical applications include low-flow instrument taps, chemical injection connections, pressure relief ports, equipment drain connections, and small-diameter service lines that must interface directly with a 6" Schedule 80 primary header.

The flush-style profile is a deliberate design advantage over hex head bushings at this size — the recessed fit within the 6" socket eliminates the protruding hex head that would create clearance problems in tight mechanical spaces, close-coupled valve assemblies, or equipment rooms where piping is closely routed. The slip-to-thread configuration also preserves serviceability at the transition: the 6" upstream solvent-weld joint is permanent and pressure-rated, while the 2" FPT outlet keeps the downstream connection removable for valve, instrument, or equipment service without cutting into the primary 6" line.

Manufactured to Schedule 80 specifications and dimensionally compliant with ASTM D2467, the 838-528 delivers the elevated wall thickness and pressure rating that Schedule 80 gray PVC is specified for in chemical processing, industrial fluid handling, and demanding commercial applications. Gray PVC construction provides broad chemical compatibility with acids, alkalis, and industrial process fluids. NSF 61 certification confirms suitability for potable water contact where required.

Industries & Applications:

• Chemical Processing — direct large-to-small transitions at chemical injection points, instrument taps, and low-flow service connections where a 2" threaded port must interface with a 6" solvent-welded Schedule 80 header in a single fitting
• Industrial Process Piping — pressure relief ports, equipment drain connections, and small-diameter service branch takeoffs from 6" plant utility and process fluid headers
• Water & Wastewater Treatment — instrument and low-flow service connections in treatment plant process piping where 2" threaded equipment interfaces with solvent-welded 6" Schedule 80 headers
• Commercial & Industrial Plumbing — tight-clearance reducing transitions in high-pressure mechanical systems where chaining intermediate reducer fittings is impractical or where a hex bushing profile creates interference
• Aquaculture & Food Processing — corrosion-resistant reducing transitions at monitoring, dosing, and drain connections in recirculating systems and chemical-exposure fluid handling installations
• Irrigation & Agriculture — chemical injection and pressure monitoring tap connections interfacing 2" threaded equipment with 6" high-pressure Schedule 80 mainline headers
