In-Store Exclusive

This one's worth the trip to the store.

Brands like Weber, Milwaukee, Yeti, and DeWalt restrict where their products can be sold online — and for good reason. In-store buyers get authentic products, full manufacturer warranty, and access to pricing that simply isn't allowed to be advertised on the web.

  • Authorized dealer network · Full manufacturer warranty & support
  • Guaranteed authentic · No counterfeits, no gray-market resellers
  • The brands set these standards · Be wary of sellers who don't follow them

Every order helps keep your local hardware store on the corner.

Why we built NHG
You might find it for less locally. Independent retailers often offer competitive pricing — some products are even cheaper in-store than online.
Real expert advice — not search results. Independent hardware staff know their inventory and the local conditions you're working in.
Keep the neighborhood working. Every dollar spent at an independent retailer returns roughly 3x more to your local economy than at a national chain.

About Product Overview

Charlotte Pipe Schedule 40 3 in Slip x 1 in Slip PVC Reducing Bushing is crafted to deliver a dependable, above-ground transition in your PVC piping system. This 3" to 1" slip reducer uses standard Schedule 40 PVC and features slip on both ends for quick, clean solvent-weld installations that stay secure over time.

  • Size and type: reducing bushing with Slip x Slip ends, converting from 3" to 1" pipe in a single, durable fitting
  • Material and rating: Schedule 40 PVC, lead-free construction for reliable performance in potable and non-potable water systems
  • Certifications: IAPMO certified and NSF listed, meeting industry standards for safety and reliability
  • Application scope: designed for pressure applications in above-ground piping projects; not rated for underground installation
  • Packaging: 1 piece per package in bulk, ready to stock and deploy on-site
  • Brand and integrity: from Charlotte Pipe, a trusted name in durable PVC fittings with a long-standing track record

Why choose this reducing bushing? It provides a straightforward way to reconfigure a run from a larger 3" main to a 1" branch without adapters or multiple fittings. The slip-end design simplifies alignment and cementing, helping you achieve a clean, watertight joint with standard PVC cement compatible with Schedule 40 systems.

Ideal use cases

  • Residential and commercial water distribution projects where a 3" line must feed a 1" line
  • Above-ground irrigation runs, fountains, and decorative water features needing a reliable 3" to 1" transition
  • Repairs or retrofits in PVC piping where space or layout calls for a single reducer instead of multiple parts

Installation tips

  • Prepare ends by cleaning and drying them before applying solvent cement
  • Verify alignment prior to cementing to minimize stress on the joint
  • Use the appropriate Schedule 40 PVC cement and allow the joint to cure according to manufacturer guidelines before pressurizing
  • Ensure the installed assembly remains above ground and away from potential subsidence or movement that could stress the joint

With its lead-free composition, solid certification backing, and straightforward Slip x Slip design, this Charlotte Pipe reducing bushing offers a practical, long-lasting solution for transitioning between pipe sizes in above-ground PVC installations. It’s the dependable choice when you need a precise 3" to 1" reduction without complications.

Their Counter
Try local first · we'll wait

The stores we send you to are local and independently run — often for generations, the kind of place where someone behind the counter knows the regulars. We don't own them. We just think they deserve the foot traffic. They can put most of what we sell on their next truck. Ask there before you check out here.

About our directory. National Hardware Group is an independent retailer and directory. The local stores we list and link to are separately owned and operated — we have no ownership stake in any of them, and most pay us nothing to be included. That includes plenty of stores flying a co-op banner that people don't realize are locally owned and run, not operated by a corporation. Store owners can choose to upgrade their listing for an enhanced presence or pickup features, but the base directory is free, and inclusion is never a paid endorsement.
