Introducing the Charlotte Pipe Schedule 40 2-1/2 in. Spigot X 2 in. D FPT PVC Reducing Bushing — a purpose-built adapter that cleanly transitions a larger slip-fit PVC line to a smaller threaded connection. Designed for reliable, above-ground pressure piping, this lead-free bushing is an essential upgrade for irrigation runs, pump hookups, and residential/maintenance projects where space and flow matter.
-
End-to-end configuration: 2-1/2 in. spigot (slip) side to 2 in. FPT (female pipe thread) side — perfect for converting a large slip connection to a standard 2" threaded fitting.
-
Material and rating: Schedule 40 PVC body with a 280 psi maximum working pressure, offering solid performance for everyday water systems and light commercial use.
-
Safety and compliance: Lead-free construction, IAPMO certified, and NSF listed, providing peace of mind for drinking water and general-use installations.
-
Installation clarity: Slip end is solvent-welded into a 2-1/2" PVC socket; threaded end accepts a 2" male-threaded fitting (2" MPT) with PTFE tape for a tight seal.
-
Placement notes: Not rated for underground use; best deployed in above-ground, accessible piping runs where quick repairs or changes are needed.
-
Package details: 1 piece per package, bulk packaging used for straightforward replacements and project assemblies.
Why this reducing bushing matters: it streamlines your piping workflow by letting you keep a single, reliable PVC component while stepping down from a larger, cemented slip connection to a smaller, threaded end. That means fewer parts, faster installs, and fewer potential leak points — a practical choice for homeowners tackling DIY repairs or professionals coordinating a small-to-medium plumbing upgrade.
Ideal use cases
- Transferring a 2-1/2" PVC line to a 2" threaded valve, adapter, or pump connection.
- Upgrading or repairing irrigation mains where a threaded component is required downstream of a slip-fit connection.
- Repairs and remodels in above-ground water supply applications where space is limited and reliability is critical.
