Spears Schedule 40 PVC Reducer Bushing, Spigot x Socket

The Spears Schedule 40 PVC Reducer Bushing is a spigot x socket fitting engineered to transition between two adjoining pipe sizes within a Schedule 40 PVC piping system, such as 1-1/2" x 1-1/4". Molded from durable PVC for long-term performance in pressure and drainage applications, this reducer bushing provides a reliable size-down connection without the need for a full coupling change. Spears reducer bushings are available across a range of adjoining trade sizes to fit common Schedule 40 PVC system transitions, and are supplied 200 pieces per carton for distributor and contractor stocking needs.

Key Features

  • Reducer Configuration: Spigot x Socket design allows a smooth transition between two adjoining PVC pipe sizes, such as 1-1/2" x 1-1/4", within the same run.
  • Durable Construction: Molded PVC construction resists corrosion, chemical attack, and degradation common to metallic fittings in wet or buried applications.
  • Schedule 40 Compatibility: Sized and dimensioned to Schedule 40 PVC pipe and fitting standards for consistent fit-up with existing Schedule 40 systems.
  • Socket and Spigot Ends: The socket end accepts pipe or fittings while the spigot end inserts directly into the next fitting, simplifying assembly and reducing the fitting count needed at a transition point.
  • Bulk Packaging: Supplied 200 pieces per carton, suitable for distributor stocking and high-volume installation projects.

Spears 437-212 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What size reduction does the Spears 437-212 PVC bushing make?
The Spears 437-212 Schedule 40 PVC reducer bushing steps 1-1/2 inch down to 1-1/4 inch. The spigot end is the 1-1/2 inch side that inserts into a 1-1/2 inch fitting socket, and the socket end takes 1-1/4 inch pipe.
2) Does a spigot x socket reducer bushing go inside another fitting, or does pipe slip over it?
It goes inside another fitting. The spigot end of this Spears bushing is sized like pipe, so it glues into the socket of a 1-1/2 inch tee, elbow or coupling. The 1-1/4 inch socket on the other end then accepts your smaller pipe. That is the difference from a reducer coupling, which has two sockets and needs a length of pipe on each side.
3) Can I use a Schedule 40 PVC reducer bushing on Schedule 80 pipe?
Schedule 40 and Schedule 80 PVC share the same outside diameters, so a Schedule 40 socket will accept Schedule 80 pipe of the same trade size. What changes is wall thickness and therefore pressure rating: the Schedule 40 bushing is the weaker part in that joint. On a Schedule 80 system built for higher pressure, use a Schedule 80 bushing instead. This Spears 437-212 is dimensioned to Schedule 40 PVC standards.
4) Is this PVC bushing OK for a buried irrigation line?
Yes. Molded PVC resists corrosion and chemical attack in wet or buried service, which is why it holds up where a metallic fitting would not. Spears lists irrigation and agricultural PVC piping among the typical uses for this Schedule 40 reducer bushing, along with pressure and drainage runs.
5) Should I use a reducer bushing or a reducing tee to drop from 1-1/2 to 1-1/4 inch?
If the branch or run you are reducing already lands in a standard 1-1/2 inch fitting socket, the bushing is the fewer-parts answer: it drops straight into that socket and gives you a 1-1/4 inch socket, no extra coupling or pipe stub. A reducing tee makes sense when you are building the fitting new and want the reduction integral to the branch. On a retrofit or repair where the 1-1/2 inch fitting is already glued in place, the bushing saves cutting it out.
6) Do I glue this bushing or does it thread in?
It is solvent weld on both ends. The 1-1/4 inch socket is a solvent cement socket for pipe, and the 1-1/2 inch spigot cements into the mating fitting socket. There are no threads on the 437-212, so if you need a threaded step-down you want a different bushing style.
7) How many Spears 437-212 bushings come in a carton?
200 pieces per carton. That bulk pack is aimed at distributors stocking the size and at contractors running repeat transitions on a large job, rather than at a single repair.
