Charlotte Pipe Schedule 80 1-1/4 in. Spigot X 1 in. D FPT PVC Reducing Bushing is engineered for durable, above-ground connections that need to transition from a slip (spigot) size to a smaller threaded end. This fitting combines strength, safety, and reliability in a single, ready-to-use component.
Why this reducing bushing stands out
-
Precise configuration for reliable joins: One end is a 1-1/4 in. spigot (slip) and the other end is a 1 in. D FPT (female pipe thread), delivering a clean, single-piece solution to step down from a larger slip connection to a threaded outlet.
-
Schedule 80 PVC construction: Thick-walled design offers enhanced pressure handling and chemical resistance for demanding above-ground installations, outperforming standard Schedule 40 in where strength matters.
-
Safety and compliance you can trust: Lead-free material, NSF-listed, and IAPMO certified, with Charlotte Pipe’s reputation for durable, code-compliant fittings.
-
Ideal for pressure applications: Designed for visible, above-ground piping runs where a robust, leak-resistant joint is essential.
-
Practical and straightforward: Sold as a single piece in bulk packaging, ready to install with compatible slip and threaded components.
How to use it effectively
Install the spigot end into a compatible Schedule 80 PVC slip system, then connect the 1 in. D FPT end to a matching male-threaded fitting or valve. For a secure, leak-free joint, follow standard PVC cementing protocols on the slip side and use appropriate thread sealant on the FPT side where required. This reducing bushing is not rated for underground use, so reserve it for above-ground or exposed piping installations.
Who benefits from this fitting
- Plumbers and installers working on potable water or other above-ground PVC systems that require a clean reduction from 1-1/4" slip to 1" threaded connections.
- Property owners managing irrigation, pool, or industrial fluid transfer lines who need a reliable, code-compliant reducing bushing.
- Projects prioritizing safety and longevity, thanks to lead-free PVC, NSF listing, and IAPMO certification.
