Spears PVC Schedule 80 Reducing Bushing, Spigot x Socket

The Spears Schedule 80 reducing bushing family is built for professional rough-in plumbing and industrial piping installations, spanning models 837-248, 837-249, 837-251, and 837-338 to cover a range of pipe-size transitions. Molded from Schedule 80 PVC, these reducing bushings are configured spigot x socket (SPGxSOC): the spigot end inserts into a matching PVC fitting or valve socket, while the socket end accepts PVC pipe or a fitting spigot. This bushing style is commonly used where a smaller valve, pump port, or fitting must connect into a larger-diameter PVC pipe run without adding a full reducer coupling. Reducing bushings across this family let a plumber or piping contractor step down from a larger trade size to a smaller trade size in a single fitting, reducing the number of joints in a pipe run and simplifying transitions between pipe, valves, and equipment connections. As Schedule 80 fittings, this family is intended for use in PVC pipe systems rated for Schedule 80 service.

Key Features

  • Reducing Size Range: available across models 837-248, 837-249, 837-251, and 837-338, each stepping a larger PVC trade size down to a smaller connection in a single fitting.
  • Schedule 80 PVC Construction: molded from Schedule 80 PVC, giving the fitting a heavier wall section than comparable Schedule 40 PVC fittings for use in Schedule 80-rated pipe systems.
  • Spigot x Socket (SPGxSOC) Configuration: the spigot end inserts directly into a mating PVC fitting or valve socket, while the socket end receives PVC pipe or a fitting spigot end.
  • Reducing Bushing Design: transitions pipe size in one solvent-weld joint instead of stacking a coupling and reducer, cutting the fitting count and labor on a rough-in run.
  • Compact Reducing Fitting: a bushing profile keeps the size reduction compact compared to a coupling-and-reducer combination, useful in tight rough-in spaces.
  • Solvent-Weld Installation: spigot and socket ends are sized for standard PVC solvent cement joints common to Schedule 80 PVC pipe and fittings.
  • PVC Material: PVC construction resists the corrosion common to metallic fittings in many piping environments.

Why Spears?

Spears manufactures PVC and CPVC pipe, fittings, and valves used across industrial, commercial, and plumbing piping systems. This reducing bushing family is molded from Schedule 80 PVC in a spigot x socket configuration, giving contractors a solvent-weld fitting built for pressure-rated PVC pipe systems across multiple reducing sizes. For plumbing and piping contractors standardizing on Schedule 80 PVC, this family provides a straightforward way to step down pipe size without sourcing separate coupling and reducer parts. Choose Spears for consistent, well-constructed PVC fittings for rough-in, industrial, and process piping installations.

Spears 837-248 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What reducing sizes does the Spears 837 Schedule 80 PVC bushing come in?
Four steps are offered in the Spears 837 spigot x socket bushing: 2 inch x 3/4 inch (837-248), 2 inch x 1 inch (837-249), 2 inch x 1-1/2 inch (837-251), and 3 inch x 2 inch (837-338). The first number is the spigot side that plugs into the larger fitting, the second is the socket that takes the smaller pipe.
2) Does a spigot x socket bushing glue into a fitting hub or onto pipe?
Into a hub. The spigot end of the 837 bushing is sized like pipe, so it solvent-welds inside the socket of a PVC fitting or valve; it does not slip over pipe. The opposite end is a socket that receives PVC pipe or the spigot of another fitting. If what you have is a length of pipe sticking out and you need to reduce off the end of it, you need a reducer coupling or a socket x socket bushing instead.
3) Can I use a Schedule 80 PVC bushing in a Schedule 40 PVC line?
The outside diameters are the same for a given trade size, so a Schedule 80 fitting solvent-welds to Schedule 40 pipe. What changes is the system rating: the Spears 837 is a Schedule 80 fitting with a heavier wall than Schedule 40, and putting it in a Schedule 40 line does not raise that line's rating. The weakest component still governs. Cement it with the standard PVC solvent cement used on Schedule 80 pipe and fittings.
4) Will this bushing let me land a 1 inch valve on a 2 inch PVC line?
Yes, using the 837-249, which is the 2 inch spigot by 1 inch socket size. The 2 inch spigot glues into a 2 inch fitting or valve socket on the main line and the 1 inch socket takes your 1 inch pipe or fitting spigot. Reducing a valve, pump port, or equipment connection into a larger PVC run is exactly what this bushing style is used for.
5) Why use a reducing bushing instead of a coupling and reducer on a PVC run?
It cuts the joint count. The 837 steps a larger trade size down to a smaller one in a single solvent-weld fitting instead of stacking a coupling plus a reducer, which means less labor and a shorter overall makeup. The compact bushing profile also helps in tight rough-in where a coupling and reducer combination will not physically fit.
6) Is a PVC reducing bushing okay for chemical feed and process piping?
Schedule 80 PVC is the common choice there, and this Spears bushing family is listed for chemical feed and process piping that needs Schedule 80 pressure ratings, plus industrial and commercial PVC systems, irrigation, and water treatment. PVC also avoids the corrosion you get from metallic fittings in those environments. Confirm PVC is compatible with the specific chemical and service temperature you are running.
7) Which Spears part number do I order to go from 3 inch down to 2 inch?
837-338 is the 3 inch spigot by 2 inch socket bushing. It is the largest step in the 837 spigot x socket family; the other three all start from a 2 inch spigot.
8) Can I thread pipe into this bushing?
No. Both ends of the Spears 837 bushing are solvent-weld: a spigot end and a socket end, no pipe threads. To pick up a threaded valve or equipment port you need a separate threaded adapter or a bushing with an FPT outlet.
