The 1/2" x 1/8" Bushing (SxT) is the essential adapter for integrating high-quality misting nozzles into a standard PVC pipe system. Designed with a 1/2" Spigot end, this bushing glues directly inside the socket of a standard PVC Tee. The internal 1/8" Female Pipe Thread (FPT) is perfectly sized to accept our Superfine Misting Nozzles.
This flush-fitting adapter allows you to build a custom, professional-grade misting line using readily available Schedule 40 PVC components. It provides a secure, leak-proof mounting point for cooling patios, greenhouses, or animal enclosures without the sag or flexibility of poly tubing.
Verify your fitting sizes.

Transform a standard tee into a mister.
Step 1: Prep the Tee
Clean the inside socket of your 1/2" PVC Tee (sold separately). Apply PVC Primer to the tee socket and the outside (spigot end) of the bushing.
Step 2: Glue the Bushing
Apply PVC Glue to both surfaces. Insert the bushing fully into the tee socket. Give it a quarter turn and hold for 30 seconds to set.
Step 3: Install Nozzle
Once the glue has cured, carefully screw your 1/8" MPT Superfine Misting Nozzle into the threaded center of the bushing. Hand tighten only.
