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 2-1/2 in. D Slip PVC Reducing Bushing delivers a precise, dependable transition in above-ground pressure piping. Designed to connect a 3-inch slip line to a 2-1/2-inch slip line, this Schedule 40 PVC reducer keeps water systems flowing smoothly with code-approved materials and reliable performance.

Ideal for residential and light commercial projects where a single, clean transition is needed, this fitting reduces the number of joints and potential leak points while maintaining strong, solvent-w Welded connections. It’s purpose-built for potable and non-potable water lines in above-ground installations, offering robust chemical resistance and long-term durability.

  • Slip x Slip reducing bushing with End 1 diameter 3" and End 2 diameter 2-1/2" to create a straightforward 3" to 2-1/2" transition in standard Schedule 40 PVC piping.
  • Material and construction: Premium PVC (Schedule 40) for rigidity, corrosion resistance, and dependable performance in pressure piping.
  • Certifications and safety: IAPMO certified and NSF listed, with lead-free composition to support safe, code-compliant installations for potable-water systems.
  • Application: Engineered for above-ground pressure applications; not rated for underground use.
  • Installation tips: Use approved PVC cement and primer, clean and deburr pipe ends, and perform a dry-fit before bonding to ensure proper alignment and a watertight joint.
  • Packaging: Sold as a single piece in bulk packaging, ready for immediate use in the field.

This reducer is a practical solution for plumbers, installers, and DIY homeowners tackling PVC piping projects where a 3" line must feed a 2-1/2" branch. The combination of lead-free construction, NSF listing, and IAPMO certification provides peace of mind for water systems that demand reliability and compliance. Whether you’re upgrading a sprinkler line, routing a residential water feed, or configuring a temporary bypass in an above-ground setup, this Charlotte Pipe reducing bushing offers a straightforward, robust connection you can trust.

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.
