Bushing, Spigot x Slip (Flush Style) PVC Schedule 80 6" x 1" (837-525)
The 6" x 1" PVC Schedule 80 Flush Style Bushing (Part No. 837-525) is a pressure-rated, gray-body reducer fitting engineered to transition from a 6" fitting socket down to a 1" pipe in a single component. The spigot (male) end inserts directly into the socket of a 6" fitting — such as a tee, coupling, or valve — and accepts a solvent-cement joint, while the slip (female socket) end receives a 1" pipe with solvent cement on the outlet side.
The flush style profile distinguishes this bushing from a hex bushing: rather than a protruding hex shoulder, the flush bushing presents a smooth, low-profile outer surface that sits cleanly inside the receiving fitting without added bulk or mechanical interference. This makes it the preferred choice in space-constrained installations, inline assemblies, and applications where a clean, unobtrusive transition is desirable.
At 6" × 1", this is a substantial step-down reduction — among the largest diameter differentials available in a single bushing. This configuration is most commonly specified for instrumentation ports, chemical injection points, sampling connections, pressure gauge taps, and low-flow service lines that must be introduced directly off a large-diameter 6" main without intermediate reducing fittings. Consolidating the full reduction into one fitting eliminates the need to stack multiple bushings or adapters in series, reducing assembly complexity and minimizing potential leak points.
Manufactured from Type I, Grade I PVC compound, this fitting conforms to ASTM D2467 dimensional standards and delivers the increased wall thickness and pressure ratings characteristic of Schedule 80. Compatible with Schedule 80 PVC pipe and solvent cements meeting ASTM D2564.
