Choosing the Right Schedule 40 PVC Bushing

PVC bushings are easy to replace and service—perfect for long-term system flexibility. But selecting the ideal Schedule 40 PVC bushing starts with understanding your system's unique needs. Here’s what to consider when evaluating options.

Types of Schedule 40 Bushings

There are two primary categories:

  • Reducer Bushings: Used to connect two pipes of different diameters. These are ideal when downsizing a pipe run, such as from 2” to 1”.
  • Standard Bushings: Often used to adapt one type of connection to another, such as converting a Slip to a Threaded fitting.

How to Choose the Right Bushing

  • Pipe Compatibility: Make sure you’re matching PVC-to-PVC, or if needed, PVC-to-metal with proper transition bushings.
  • Connection Type: Choose between Slip, Threaded, or hybrid types based on your system’s requirements.
  • Pressure & Temperature Rating: Ensure your bushing is rated for your application’s PSI and temperature exposure.
  • Fitting Size: Accurately measure both internal and external dimensions of your pipe fittings.

Installation Tips

  • Use solvent cement for Slip connections to ensure leak-free joints.
  • Apply Teflon tape on Threaded versions to prevent leaks and simplify disassembly.
  • Confirm that your bushings are compatible with other Schedule 40 PVC components.
  • Consider using a PVC deburring toolstrong> and pipe cleaner for best installation results.

Applications & Use Cases

  • Irrigation Systems: Efficiently reduce large lines to small ones in tight areas.
  • Pool Plumbing: Commonly used where compact reducers are ideal for pump and filter systems.
  • Residential Supply Lines & Water Treatment Systems: Great for customizing flow rates and accommodating unique configurations.
