Spears PVC Reducing Bushing, SPGxFPT Schedule 40
The Spears PVC Reducing Bushing is engineered to transition between two pipe sizes within a Schedule 40 PVC system, featuring a spigot (SPG) end and a female pipe thread (FPT) connection for a secure, reliable joint. Available in a 1/2" x 1/4" configuration, this reducing bushing is molded from durable PVC for long-lasting performance in pressure and non-pressure plumbing applications. Its Schedule 40 rated construction makes it a dependable, code-compliant choice for professional installers and DIYers alike working with standard PVC piping systems, allowing a smooth reduction from a larger diameter run down to a smaller threaded outlet without swapping out an entire section of pipe.
Key Features
- Trade Size: 1/2" x 1/4" reducing configuration for connecting two different pipe diameters within the same PVC run.
- Durable Construction: Molded PVC material resists corrosion, rust, and chemical degradation for long service life in plumbing applications.
- SPG x FPT Connection: Spigot end inserts directly into a fitting or pipe socket while the female pipe thread (FPT) end accepts a male threaded fitting, simplifying transitions between pipe sizes and connection types.
- Schedule 40 Rated: Built to Schedule 40 specifications for full compatibility with standard PVC pipe and fitting systems.
- Reducing Bushing Design: Allows a smaller pipe or fitting to be connected into a larger diameter opening without needing a full coupling replacement, saving material and installation time.
- Lightweight, Solvent-Weldable Body: PVC construction allows for quick solvent-cement assembly on the spigot end while the FPT end threads on without additional cement.
- Smooth Interior Bore: Reduces turbulence and flow restriction at the size transition point compared to improvised workarounds.
