D FPT PVC Reducing Bushing\u003c\/strong\u003e offers a dependable, lead-free transition from a 4\" spigot PVC pipe to a 2\" female threaded connection (FPT) for reliable pressure piping in above-ground systems. Built to Schedule 40 standards, this reducing bushing delivers solid performance for potable water and other common PVC applications.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eKey advantages come from its precise sizing and certified safety. The 4\" spigot end fits into a compatible 4\" socket, while the 2\" FPT end accepts standard 2\" male-threaded fittings, enabling a clean, secure transition between large-diameter mains and smaller threaded components. This makes it an essential choice when retrofitting or designing piping runs that require both cemented and threaded connections in one assembly.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLead-free \u0026amp; certifications\u003c\/strong\u003e: Average lead content is lead-free; IAPMO certified and NSF listed, ensuring safe use with potable water.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSchedule 40 PVC construction\u003c\/strong\u003e: Durable, corrosion-resistant material designed to meet common pressure piping standards.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAccurate, meeting the needs of both ends\u003c\/strong\u003e: 4\" spigot end to 2\" FPT end provides a reliable bridge from a large-diameter spigot to a threaded connection.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNot for underground use\u003c\/strong\u003e: Underground-rated: No — intended for above-ground or readily accessible installations.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePackaging \u0026amp; compatibility\u003c\/strong\u003e: Sold as a single piece; bulk packaging options available; compatible with standard 4\" spigot fittings and 2\" male-threaded components in PVC systems.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand assurance\u003c\/strong\u003e: From Charlotte Pipe, a trusted name in PVC fittings known for durable, code-compliant products.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e \u003ch3\u003eApplications \u0026amp; Use Cases\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003eUse this reducing bushing when you need to transition from a 4\" PVC main to a 2\" threaded connection in pressure-rated setups.
