Spears 838-207C 1-1/2" x 1/4" CPVC Schedule 80 Spigot x FPT Reducer Bushing, Red

Spears 838-207C 1-1/2 in. x 1/4 in. CPVC Schedule 80 Spigot x FPT Reducer Bushing, Red

The Spears 838-207C is a Schedule 80 CPVC reducer bushing engineered for hot-water and corrosive-fluid piping systems that demand tight, reliable transitions between pipe sizes. Reducing from 1-1/2 x 1/4, this red CPVC bushing features a spigot end paired with a female pipe thread (FPT) connection, allowing a straightforward reduction fitting into larger CPVC lines while stepping down to threaded 1/4 in. components. Molded to Schedule 80 dimensional standards, it delivers the heavier wall thickness and pressure handling professionals expect from industrial, commercial, and process piping applications where CPVC is specified over metallic or Schedule 40 alternatives. The red color coding is standard for CPVC systems, helping installers visually distinguish hot-water and process lines from PVC cold-water piping on a mixed jobsite.

Key Features

• Trade Size: 1-1/2 x 1/4 reducing configuration for stepping down larger CPVC branch lines to smaller threaded connections.
• Durable Construction: Schedule 80 CPVC material resists corrosion, chemical attack, and withstands elevated temperatures found in industrial and chemical process piping systems.
• Spigot x FPT Connection: The spigot end solvent-welds directly into Schedule 80 CPVC pipe or fittings, while the female pipe thread (FPT) end accepts threaded male components for a secure, leak-resistant transition between solvent-weld and threaded piping.
• Red CPVC Color: Standard red pigment distinguishes CPVC hot-water and process piping from other plastic piping systems on the jobsite, reducing installation errors.
• Schedule 80 Rating: Heavier wall thickness than Schedule 40 CPVC fittings provides higher pressure ratings and added mechanical strength in demanding installations.
• Reducer Bushing Design: A compact, single-fitting solution for reducing pipe size and changing connection type without adding a coupling and separate adapter.
