Schedule 40 Spigot x Socket Bushings

Schedule 40 Spigot x Socket bushings are essential PVC fittings designed to reduce or connect pipe sizes within pressurized systems. Featuring a spigot end that fits into a socket and a socket end that receives a spigot or pipe, these fittings deliver a secure, leak-resistant connection type for moderate-pressure applications.

Commonly used in irrigation, water supply, drainage, and residential or commercial plumbing systems, they are lightweight, corrosion-resistant, and chemically inert for long-lasting performance. Schedule 40 construction provides a consistent schedule rating and standard wall thickness for PVC schedule systems, ensuring compatibility with a wide range of PVC Sch 40 pipe and related components.

Available in a variety of sizes (from 3/8" to 2 1/2") and compatible with other Schedule 40 PVC components, these bushings are quick to install for both DIYers and professionals. Their durable PVC construction resists rust, corrosion, and chemical damage, making them a reliable choice for residential, commercial, agricultural, and light industrial applications.

Product Range and Sizing Options

Maxx Supply offers a wide selection of Schedule 40 Spigot x Socket bushings to fit various system requirements. Common configurations include:

  • 1” x 3/4”
  • 2” x 1 1/2”
  • 1 1/2” x 1”

Each listing includes part number, size dimensions, and material type for easy reference. To select the right fitting size:

  • Measure the internal diameter of the receiving pipe.
  • Confirm compatibility with your PVC schedule and other fittings.
  • Consider system pressure and application to ensure optimal performance.

These bushings also function as reducer bushings, making them ideal for transitioning between different pipe diameters without sacrificing flow efficiency.

Installation Tips

Proper installation ensures a leak-proof, long-lasting connection:

  • Clean both the pipe and fitting ends to remove dirt and debris.
  • Apply PVC primer to prepare the surfaces.
  • Use solvent cement designed for PVC to create a watertight seal.
  • Allow the recommended cure time before pressurizing the system.
  • Avoid over-tightening during assembly to prevent cracking.
  • Dry-fit components before final installation when possible.

Following these steps helps maintain system integrity and prevents common issues identified in stress analysis, like leaks or premature wear.
