Reducer Bushing , Slip x Slip (Flush Style) 6" x 3/4" (9837-524)

The 6" x 3/4" PVC Reducer Bushing (9837-524) is a flush-style, slip x slip fitting that steps down from a 6" socket connection to a 3/4" pipe outlet in a single compact component — one of the widest reduction ratios available in a standard PVC bushing configuration. The flush style design means the bushing seats fully inside the 6" socket of the receiving fitting with no protruding hex shoulder or extended spigot, producing a clean, low-profile transition that minimizes installation footprint and eliminates the external protrusion common with hex head bushing alternatives.

The slip x slip connection configuration positions this bushing as a solvent-weld-only fitting on both ends — the 6" spigot OD cements into the receiving 6" socket, while the 3/4" socket ID accepts a 3/4" slip pipe or fitting. This all-solvent construction produces a permanently bonded, leak-free assembly well suited for pressurized systems where a threaded connection at either end is not required or desired.

The extreme size differential between the 6" OD and 3/4" ID makes the 9837-524 a highly application-specific fitting — most commonly used to reduce a large-diameter cap, tee branch, or dead-end socket down to a small-bore sampling port, drain point, chemical injection inlet, or instrumentation tap without requiring additional inline reducers or adapter chains to bridge the size gap.

Manufactured from virgin PVC compound meeting ASTM D2466 dimensional standards, the 9837-524 delivers the full chemical resistance, corrosion immunity, and long service life expected from Schedule 40 PVC in water distribution, irrigation, and industrial process piping environments.

Specifications:

Apply solvent cement to both the bushing spigot OD and the receiving 6" socket ID per manufacturer instructions. Due to the extreme size differential between the 6" OD and 3/4" ID, verify that the intended receiving fitting accommodates a flush-style bushing insert prior to installation. Pressure-temperature derating applies at elevated service temperatures per ASTM standards.

Industries & Applications:

• Municipal Water Distribution — Reducing a capped or dead-end 6" main socket to a 3/4" drain port, blow-off outlet, or pressure gauge tap without a multi-fitting reducer chain
• Agricultural & Irrigation Systems — Converting a 6" tee branch or end cap socket into a 3/4" chemical injection point, fertigation inlet, or small-bore sampling port on large mainline distribution systems
• Industrial Process Piping — Installing a compact instrumentation tap, sample port, or chemical dosing inlet at a 6" fitting socket location without additional reducing fittings
• Water & Wastewater Treatment — Providing a 3/4" access point at a 6" pipeline socket for chemical feed lines, pressure monitoring connections, or grab sample taps in treatment plant piping
• Chemical Processing — Reducing a large-diameter process line socket to a small-bore inlet for metered chemical addition, bleed-off, or secondary process feed connections
• Fire Protection & Suppression Systems — Adapting a 6" socket on a supply main or manifold fitting to a 3/4" test outlet, drain valve connection, or pressure relief tap
• HVAC & Cooling Water Systems — Installing a 3/4" chemical treatment injection or bleed-off port at a 6" socket location in chilled water or condenser water distribution piping
• Aquaculture & Water Management — Providing a small-bore drain, aeration inlet, or monitoring port at a 6" socket junction in large-volume recirculation or intake piping systems
