Bushing, Spigot x Slip (Flush Style) PVC Schedule 80 2" x 1/2" (837-247)

The 837-247 is a Schedule 80 PVC flush style bushing with a 2-inch spigot (plain end) inlet and a 1/2-inch slip (socket) outlet. The spigot end solvent cements directly into any standard 2" Schedule 40 or Schedule 80 PVC socket fitting, while the 1/2" socket outlet accepts the outside diameter of standard 1/2" Schedule 40 or Schedule 80 PVC pipe via solvent cement — producing a fully cemented, permanent transition from a 2" system to a minimal-bore 1/2" downstream pipe run within a single flush-profile fitting. As a flush style bushing, the fitting body sits fully recessed within the receiving socket without protruding hex flats or an exposed shoulder, maintaining a clean, low-profile assembly at the transition point well suited to congested equipment assemblies, manifold headers, and confined mechanical spaces where clearance at the socket face is limited.

The 837-247 is the most aggressive standard reduction in the 2" inlet sub-series of the 837 matrix — a more pronounced step-down than the 837-248 (2" x 3/4") cataloged previously — and is best suited to applications where the downstream 1/2" connection must serve a minimal-bore permanent cemented function: instrument line feeds, air relief tap connections, small-bore drain branches, pressure sensing lines, and secondary circuits where 1/2" cemented pipe is the specified downstream configuration and no threaded joint is desired at the transition. Where a 1/2" female threaded outlet is needed at the same 2" inlet in a flush body, the 838-247 (Spigot x FPT, 2" x 1/2") is the corresponding alternative.

The all-solvent-cement configuration is the defining distinction between the 837-247 and the 838-247 at this size pairing. Where the 838-247 transitions to a female threaded outlet for serviceability and equipment compatibility, the 837-247 keeps both connections within a fully solvent-welded assembly — the correct choice when the downstream 1/2" connection must be a permanent bonded joint rather than a serviceable threaded interface. This makes the 837-247 well suited to buried lines, concealed installations, and long-term pressure piping where an all-cemented system is specified through the reduction point. The flush style body keeps the entire 2" to 1/2" transition recessed within the 2" socket face, preserving the low-profile geometry that distinguishes both the 837 and 838 series from hex bushing alternatives at the same schedule and size.

Manufactured from heavy-wall Schedule 80 PVC, the 837-247 delivers greater wall thickness and mechanical strength than Schedule 40 equivalents. The dark gray color is standard for Schedule 80 PVC. Apply a medium-bodied PVC primer and standard-bodied PVC cement per ASTM D2564 to the 2" spigot end and the receiving socket interior; apply primer and cement separately to the 1/2" socket outlet and the pipe OD being inserted into it. At 1/2", the small socket sets quickly after cement application — ensure full pipe insertion to the socket stop and maintain joint alignment through the cure set period without delay.

Industries & Applications:

• Industrial Process Piping — Reduces a 2" Schedule 80 PVC socket to a permanently bonded 1/2" cemented pipe connection in a flush, low-profile assembly for minimal-bore instrument line feeds, air relief branches, pressure sensing lines, and small-bore secondary circuits in corrosion-resistant industrial fluid handling systems where an all-cemented reduction at the socket face is specified.
• Chemical Processing & Water Treatment — Used at pump discharge sockets, filter housing ports, and chemical system headers where a 2" cemented Schedule 80 socket must transition permanently to a 1/2" cemented pipe run for minimal-bore chemical injection branches, sample line feeds, or instrumentation supply lines within tight equipment assemblies where a fully bonded reduction is preferred over a threaded outlet.
• Municipal & Commercial Plumbing — Provides a flush spigot-to-socket transition at 2" Schedule 80 socket fittings in commercial plumbing systems where a permanent 1/2" cemented branch, drain tap, or instrument supply line must be introduced at a socket face without the protruding profile of a hex bushing and without a threaded joint at the reduction point.
• Irrigation & Agricultural Systems — Installed at pump discharge sockets, filter manifold ports, and control assembly headers where a 2" Schedule 80 socket must permanently reduce to a 1/2" cemented pipe for pressure sensing lines, fertigation injection branches, or minimal-bore secondary circuits in flush-clearance, fully solvent-welded system layouts.
• Pool & Spa Equipment Rooms — Transitions 2" Schedule 80 socket connections to permanently bonded 1/2" cemented pipe runs for air relief line feeds, pressure gauge supply branches, and minimal-bore chemical distribution lines in equipment room installations where a clean, recessed fitting profile and an all-cemented assembly through the transition are both specified.
• Laboratory & Semiconductor Facilities — Provides a flush-profile, fully solvent-welded transition at 2" Schedule 80 socket fittings in ultrapure water, acid waste, or reagent distribution systems where a 1/2" permanent cemented instrument feed, analytical equipment supply line, or minimal-bore secondary branch must be introduced at a socket face within confined instrument rack or bench assemblies.
