Spears CPVC Reducing Bushing, SPGxSOC, Schedule 80
The Spears CPVC Reducing Bushing is a Schedule 80 CPVC fitting designed to transition between two different pipe sizes within a single fitting, using a spigot x socket (SPGxSOC) connection style. Built from CPVC for chemical resistance and higher temperature tolerance compared to standard PVC, this reducing bushing is engineered for reliable performance in demanding piping systems. As part of the Spears PVC & CPVC Fittings line, it delivers consistent fit and dependable joint integrity for both industrial and commercial installations.
Key Features
- Reducing Configuration: Allows a size transition within a single fitting, simplifying piping runs that require a size step-down.
- Durable Construction: Manufactured from CPVC material, offering strong chemical resistance and suitability for higher-temperature applications than standard PVC.
- SPGxSOC Connection: Spigot x socket ends provide a secure, solvent-weld joint for a leak-resistant connection.
- Schedule 80 Rating: Heavier wall construction than Schedule 40, built for demanding pressure piping applications.
- Solvent-Weld Compatible: Designed to be joined using standard CPVC solvent cement for a permanent, dependable bond.
- Versatile Fitting: Suitable for use across a range of CPVC piping systems requiring a size reduction point.

Spears 837-101C – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What sizes does the Spears Schedule 80 CPVC reducing bushing come in?
Three size steps are offered: 3/4 x 1/2 inch (837-101C), 1 x 1/2 inch (837-130C), and 1-1/2 x 1-1/4 inch (837-212C). The first number is the spigot end that goes into the larger fitting or socket, the second is the socket that takes the smaller pipe.
2) How does a SPGxSOC reducing bushing install compared with a reducer coupling?
A SPGxSOC bushing has a spigot end sized like pipe, so it drops straight into the socket of a fitting you have already installed (a tee, valve or coupling) and reduces it down to the smaller socket size. A reducer coupling instead needs a length of pipe on both sides. Use the bushing when you want to step a fitting port down without cutting and adding pipe.
3) Can I glue this bushing into a Schedule 40 CPVC socket?
Yes on fit. CPVC socket and spigot dimensions are the same iron pipe size across Schedule 40 and Schedule 80, so a Schedule 80 bushing solvent welds into a Schedule 40 CPVC fitting of the matching size. The system pressure rating then follows the weakest component in the run, not the Schedule 80 bushing.
4) Is CPVC or PVC the right choice for a hot water line size transition?
CPVC for hot water. The Spears Schedule 80 CPVC bushing is specified for hot and cold water distribution and handles higher temperatures than standard PVC, along with chemical resistance for corrosive fluid lines. PVC fittings are limited to cold water service.
5) Why choose Schedule 80 instead of Schedule 40 for this fitting?
Schedule 80 carries a heavier wall than Schedule 40, which is what you want at higher pressures and in industrial or chemical process piping. If the run is low-pressure domestic cold water, Schedule 40 is usually enough; on pressure piping and corrosive-fluid lines, the Schedule 80 CPVC bushing is the match.
6) Can this bushing reduce a 1 inch line to 1/2 inch in one step?
Yes. Model 837-130C is a 1 x 1/2 inch reducing bushing, so it makes that two-step reduction in a single fitting with no intermediate 3/4 inch adapter. For a one-size step, 837-101C covers 3/4 x 1/2 inch and 837-212C covers 1-1/2 x 1-1/4 inch.
7) Can a threaded pipe screw into this Spears reducing bushing?
No. Both ends are solvent weld, spigot on one side and socket on the other. There is no pipe thread on this bushing, so a threaded pipe or valve needs a CPVC Schedule 80 transition fitting with an FPT or MPT end instead.
