Charlotte Pipe Schedule 80 1-1/2 in. Spigot X 1/2 in. D Slip PVC Reducer Bushing is a purpose-built transition piece designed to deliver reliable, high‑pressure performance in PVC piping systems. Engineered for durability and precision, this reducer bushing helps you move smoothly from a larger 1-1/2" spigot to a smaller 1/2" slip connection without compromising flow or integrity.
-
Heavy‑duty Schedule 80 PVC features thicker walls for enhanced pressure resistance and long-term reliability in demanding installations.
-
Lead-free and certified with IAPMO certification and NSF listing, supporting safe, code-compliant potable water and industrial uses.
-
Spigot to slip transition—1-1/2" spigot on one end and 1/2" slip on the other, enabling a secure, solvent-weld connection to the larger pipe and a solder-free slip joint for the smaller line.
-
High-pressure capability rated up to 850 psi, making it suitable for robust pressure applications and demanding piping layouts.
-
Temperature tolerance up to 140°F, expanding its usefulness in a variety of indoor and shaded outdoor environments.
-
Potable-water friendly — lead-free composition and NSF listing help ensure compatibility with drinking water systems.

Practical applications and installation tips
- Ideal for transitioning from a larger-diameter Schedule 80 PVC line to a smaller branch while maintaining a durable, leak‑resistant connection in water distribution, irrigation, and light industrial piping.
- Prepare surfaces with standard PVC primer and solvent cement. Cement the 1-1/2" spigot into a corresponding Schedule 80 socket, then insert and cement a 1/2" pipe into the slip end using a compatible slip coupling or socket.
- Because this component is lead-free and NSF-listed, it’s well-suited for potable water systems where safety and compliance matter most.
