Durable Schedule 40 PVC threaded reducer bushing designed to adapt a 1/2" threaded pipe into a 1" threaded fitting. Engineered for potable water and irrigation lines, this flush-style reducing bushing offers corrosion resistance, consistent thread engagement, and reliable sealing for standard PVC systems. Material: Injection-molded PVC (Schedule 40) formulated to ASTM D1784/D2466 specifications for consistent strength and chemical resistance. Size & Connections: 1" x 1/2" nominal size; male pipe threads (MIPT/MPT) x female pipe threads (FIPT/FPT) to adapt threaded fittings. Standards & Safety: Manufactured to industry standards, NSF/ANSI-compliant for potable water and lead-free construction suitable for drinking-water systems. Temperature Rating: Maximum recommended service temperature 140°F (60°C); not for use in high-temperature distribution systems. Applications: Ideal for irrigation, landscape plumbing, and general PVC piping where a threaded reduction is required; common in residential and light-commercial installations. Installation: Use PTFE (Teflon) tape or a PVC-compatible pipe thread compound on male threads; hand-start then tighten with a wrench to avoid over-torquing. Limitations: Do not use with compressed air or gases and avoid liquids not recommended for PVC by the manufacturer. This reducing bushing provides a cost-effective, corrosion-resistant solution when adapting threaded PVC fittings. Its flush design and standardized threads make it simple to install and service. Verify thread compatibility and temperature limits for your system before install; replace damaged fittings and follow local plumbing codes.
