Bushing, Spigot x Socket PVC Schedule 40 6" x 3/4" (437-524)
The 437-524 is a PVC Schedule 40 reducing bushing with a spigot (male) inlet and socket (female) outlet, reducing from a 6" line down to a 3/4" branch or outlet. The spigot end inserts directly into any standard 6" Schedule 40 socket fitting or pipe hub, producing a solvent-welded, pressure-rated reduction in a single compact fitting — no additional adapter or coupling required.
Manufactured from rigid PVC compound conforming to ASTM D1784 cell classification requirements, this bushing is joined using standard PVC solvent cement and primer per ASTM D2564. Schedule 40 wall construction provides reliable performance in both pressure and gravity-flow piping systems, and the all-PVC material delivers excellent resistance to corrosion, chemicals, and biological fouling across a wide range of service environments.
The 437-524 is particularly well suited for large-diameter distribution manifolds, pump station assemblies, and irrigation mainlines where a 6" header must be tapped down to individual 3/4" service or zone connections. The bushing form factor keeps the transition compact and minimizes fitting count in congested mechanical or valve vault installations.
