Spears Schedule 80 PVC Reducing Bushing, SPGxSOC
The Spears Schedule 80 PVC Reducing Bushing is engineered to transition between two different pipe sizes within a single Schedule 80 PVC pressure piping run, such as the 1-1/4" x 1/2" configuration, using a spigot-by-socket (SPGxSOC) connection for a secure, solvent-welded joint. Molded from rigid PVC, this reducing bushing provides a reliable, corrosion-resistant transition fitting for pressure-rated systems where a larger trade size must step down to a smaller branch or outlet without adding an additional coupling. As part of the Spears Schedule 80 fitting line, it is built to standard dimensional tolerances for consistent fit-up with other Schedule 80 PVC pipe and fittings.
Key Features
- Reducing Configuration: Steps down pipe size within a single fitting, for example 1-1/4" x 1/2", eliminating the need for a separate reducer coupling.
- Schedule 80 PVC Construction: Molded from rigid, corrosion- and chemical-resistant PVC suitable for demanding pressure piping applications.
- SPGxSOC Connection: Spigot end fits inside a socket fitting or valve while the socket end accepts pipe, allowing a compact, low-profile transition joint.
- Solvent-Weld Joint: Designed for solvent cementing to Schedule 80 PVC pipe and fittings for a permanent, leak-resistant connection.
- Consistent Fit-Up: Manufactured to standard PVC fitting dimensions for reliable assembly with compatible Schedule 80 components.
