Bushing, Spigot x Slip (Flush Style) PVC Schedule 80 2" x 3/4" (837-248)

The 837-248 is a Schedule 80 PVC flush style bushing with a 2-inch spigot (plain end) inlet and a 3/4-inch slip (socket) outlet. The spigot end solvent cements directly into any standard 2" Schedule 40 or Schedule 80 PVC socket fitting, while the 3/4" socket outlet accepts the outside diameter of standard 3/4" Schedule 40 or Schedule 80 PVC pipe via solvent cement — producing a fully cemented, permanent transition from a 2" system to a 3/4" 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 that is well suited to congested equipment assemblies, manifold headers, and confined mechanical spaces where clearance at the socket face is limited.

The all-solvent-cement configuration is the defining distinction between the 837 series and the 838 series at identical size pairings. Where the 838-248 (2" x 3/4" Spigot x FPT) transitions to a female threaded outlet for serviceability and equipment compatibility, the 837-248 keeps both connections within a fully solvent-welded assembly — the correct choice when the downstream 3/4" connection must remain a permanent cemented joint rather than a serviceable threaded interface. This makes the 837-248 well suited to buried lines, concealed installations, and long-term pressure piping where an all-cemented system is specified through the reduction point and no threaded joints are desired at the transition. The flush style body keeps the entire 2" to 3/4" transition recessed within the 2" socket face, preserving the low-profile assembly geometry that distinguishes both the 837 and 838 series from hex bushing alternatives at the same schedule and size combinations.

Manufactured from heavy-wall Schedule 80 PVC, the 837-248 delivers greater wall thickness and mechanical strength than Schedule 40 equivalents, making it appropriate for industrial, chemical, and elevated-pressure service environments. The dark gray color is standard for Schedule 80 PVC and provides immediate visual identification in mixed-schedule installations. Apply a medium-bodied PVC primer and standard-bodied PVC cement per ASTM D2564 to the 2" spigot end and receiving socket interior; apply primer and cement separately to the 3/4" socket outlet and the pipe OD being inserted into it. Ensure full pipe insertion to the socket stop and maintain joint alignment during the cure set period at the 3/4" outlet connection.

Industries & Applications:

• Industrial Process Piping — Reduces a 2" Schedule 80 PVC socket to a 3/4" solvent-cemented pipe connection in a flush, low-profile assembly for permanent branch feeds, secondary circuit supplies, and small-bore process line transitions in corrosion-resistant industrial fluid handling systems where an all-cemented reduction at the socket face is specified and fitting clearance is limited.
• 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 3/4" cemented pipe run for secondary treatment feeds, chemical distribution branches, or bypass circuits 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 3/4" cemented branch, service line, or secondary circuit 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 3/4" cemented pipe for zone lateral feeds, drip distribution lines, or small-bore secondary circuits in flush-clearance, fully solvent-welded system layouts.
• Pool & Spa Equipment Rooms — Transitions 2" Schedule 80 socket connections to permanently bonded 3/4" cemented pipe runs for auxiliary circuit feeds, chemical distribution branches, and secondary equipment supply lines in equipment room installations where a clean, recessed fitting profile and an all-cemented assembly through the transition point 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 3/4" permanent cemented branch or secondary feed must be introduced at a socket face within confined instrument rack or bench assemblies where threaded joints at the reduction point are not desired.
