Compact Reduction. Streamline Your System.

The Schedule 40 PVC Reducer Bushing is the most space-efficient solution for reducing the pipe size within your irrigation manifold or water line. Designed with a Spigot x Slip configuration, this fitting inserts completely inside the socket of a larger fitting (such as a Tee, Elbow, or Coupling), creating a smaller socket to accept a reduced size of PVC pipe.

Because it fits flush within the existing joint, this bushing allows you to step down line sizes without adding extra length or cutting into your pipe layout. It is perfect for branching off a main header to smaller zone lines or adapting a large pump outlet to a standard irrigation system.

Why Choose Dura Schedule 40 PVC?

Flush Design: The bushing sits almost entirely inside the larger fitting, keeping your manifold compact and professional-looking.
Seamless Reduction: Provides a smooth internal transition for water flow, minimizing turbulence and pressure loss at the reduction point.
Professional Quality: Molded from virgin PVC resin meeting ASTM D-2466 standards, ensuring a secure, leak-proof solvent weld.
Chemical Resistance: Durable Schedule 40 construction resists corrosion from soil, moisture, and agricultural fertilizers.
NSF Certified: Approved for use with potable (drinking) water systems.

How to Install: A Step-by-Step Guide

Proper installation involves two solvent weld connections.

Step 1: Prep Surfaces
Clean the inside of the larger fitting hub, the outside of the bushing, the inside of the bushing, and the outside of the smaller pipe. Remove all burrs.

Step 2: Prime
Apply PVC Primer to all mating surfaces. This is critical for a strong bond.

Step 3: Glue the Bushing
Apply PVC Glue to the outside of the bushing and inside the larger fitting hub. Insert the bushing fully, twisting a quarter turn. Hold for 30 seconds.

Step 4: Glue the Pipe
Once the bushing is set, apply glue to the inside of the bushing and the outside of your smaller pipe. Insert the pipe, twist, and hold until bonded.

✔ Compatibility Check

Ensure you have the right parts:

Large End (Spigot): Fits INSIDE a standard PVC fitting hub (e.g., Tee, Elbow). It does NOT fit over a pipe.
Small End (Slip): Fits OVER standard PVC pipe.
It is NOT threaded. Requires solvent cement (glue).
Ideally used for reducing Tees or Couplings to a smaller branch size.

Complete Your System

Get everything you need for a permanent installation:

PVC Primer: Essential for preparing the surfaces for a strong weld.
PVC Glue: The solvent cement required to bond the bushing and pipe.
Pipe Cutters: Ensure clean, square cuts with our 1", 1-1/2", 2", or Fiskars cutters.
