Schedule 40 Bushings
Bidding a job & need contractor pricing?
We've got you covered!
Schedule 40 PVC bushings are used to connect two pipes of different diameters while adding minimal space to the total pipe length. PVC bushings, also known as reducing bushings, are made in various sizes and configurations to match the needs of individual use cases. The Sch 40 PVC bushing is designed to connect to one pipe and allow either another pipe or a nipple to then be connected to the open end of the fitting. PVC bushings are used to reduce the diameter of a pipe, create a watertight seal, and provide support for the pipeline. Bushings are often used to reduce pipe size for branch line connections to fixtures and equipment or to allow plumbing that would otherwise be too large to fit within a specific location. These bushings are made from premium PVC to provide durability, chemical resistance, and lasting reliability across work environments.
Sch 40 PVC Bushing Sizes and Options
Sch 40 PVC bushings are available in an extensive selection of sizes ranging from 1/2” x 1/4” to 12” x 10”. Available bushing fittings are PVC reducer bushings. Sizes are listed in pipe-to-reducing pipe sizes.
Connection options for PVC reducing bushings are either spigot x socket or threaded bushings in spigot x FPT or MPT x FPT. FPT fittings feature female pipe threads inside, and MPT fittings feature male pipe threads outside.
Quality and Safety Standards
Our Schedule 40 PVC reducer bushings are built and certified to comply with the standard requirements of ASTM D 2466 and ASTM D 1784. Fittings are NSF approved for freshwater systems and potable water applications. Our PVC bushings are made in the United States by the industry’s top manufacturers of PVC pipe components.
