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 4 in. Spigot X 3 in. D FPT PVC Reducing Bushing is the dependable above-ground transition you need when you must step down from a 4-inch plain-end pipe to a 3-inch threaded connection. Made from durable Schedule 40 PVC, this reducing bushing delivers a clean, secure fit for pressure applications without the complexity of multiple adapters.

What sets this piece apart is its combination of certified quality and practical design. The bushing is

  • Lead-free, satisfying modern plumbing standards
  • IAPMO certified and NSF listed, ensuring compliance and safe, reliable performance
  • 4" spigot (plain end) that slides into a standard Schedule 40 PVC socket and a 3" FPT (female pipe thread) end for connecting to a compatible 3" threaded component
  • Specifically built for above-ground pressure systems; not rated for underground use
  • From Charlotte Pipe, a trusted name known for consistent wall thickness and smooth interior to minimize flow restrictions

Ideal uses and scenarios

  • Above-ground irrigation lines where you need to transition from a larger slip/solid pipe to a threaded 3" connection
  • Pool equipment, spa piping, or water-treatment setups requiring a reliable 4" to 3" threaded transition
  • Repairs or reconfigurations in exposed piping where certification and material compatibility matter

How to install

  • On the 4" spigot end, join to a compatible Schedule 40 PVC socket using standard PVC cement per instructions
  • On the 3" FPT end, apply appropriate pipe-thread sealant or Teflon tape to the male-threaded counterpart and tighten until secure (avoid overtightening)
  • Verify that the assembly remains above ground and within typical Schedule 40 PVC pressure ratings

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.
