Engineered for durability in demanding PVC piping systems, the Charlotte Pipe Schedule 80 1-1/2 in Spigot x 1 in Slip PVC Reducing Bushing delivers a precise, reliable reduction from 1-1/2" to 1" with a robust spigot-to-slip connection. Built from Schedule 80 PVC for superior wall thickness, this 1-1/2" spigot to 1" slip reducing bushing is designed to stand up to higher-pressure applications while remaining easy to install with standard PVC solvent cement joints.
Why this reducing bushing stands out
-
Thicker-walled Schedule 80 construction: Superior strength and impact resistance compared to Schedule 40, making it well-suited for tougher environments, buried installations, or runs where physical stress is a concern.
-
Precise, reliable size reduction: Ends are configured as a 1-1/2" spigot (male) and a 1" slip (female) to create a clean inline transition within your PVC network.
-
Safety and compliance: Lead-free material with IAPMO certification and NSF listing, helping meet code requirements and safety standards for piping systems.
-
Simple, proven installation: Designed for solvent-cement joints, enabling quick, leak-resistant connections with standard PVC fittings and pipe.
-
Single-piece reliability: Reduces potential leak points compared with multi-part reducers, delivering long-term performance in pressure applications.
Ideal applications
Perfect for residential, commercial, and irrigation projects where you need to bridge a transition from 1-1/2" to 1" within a pressure-rated PVC network. Use it in water supply lines, pump discharge piping, and other PVC systems where a secure reduction is required and Schedule 80's extra wall thickness offers enhanced durability.

Installation tips and best practices
For best results, ensure clean, deburred pipe ends before cementing. Use the appropriate PVC solvent cement and primer for Schedule 80 to create a strong, lasting bond. Align the spigot and slip ends carefully to avoid stress on the joint, and allow proper cure time before pressurizing the system. Confirm compatibility with other PVC components in your network to maintain flow and pressure performance over time.
