Reducing Bushing","description":"\u003cdiv\u003eCharlotte Pipe Schedule 80 2 in. MPT x 1-1\/2 in. FPT PVC 7 in. Reducing Bushing is engineered to deliver reliable, above-ground connections in pressure piping where a precise size transition is needed. Crafted from durable Schedule 80 PVC, this reducing bushing handles rigorous service with a smooth, metal-free profile that resists corrosion and chemical exposure common in water, irrigation, and light chemical systems. Key reasons this piece stands out\n- Purpose-built transition: Converts a 2-inch male pipe thread (MPT) to a 1-1\/2-inch female pipe thread (FPT) in a single, straight 7-inch length. Perfect for tight spaces where a compact, threaded adapter is required.\n- Heavy-wall construction: Schedule 80 PVC provides thicker walls and enhanced impact resistance for demanding above-ground installations, delivering long-lasting performance in residential and commercial projects.\n- Certified and lead-free: IAPMO certified and NSF listed, with lead-free composition, giving you confidence in safety and compliance for potable water and other regulated applications.\n- High-pressure capability: Designed for pressure applications with a maximum rating of up to 470 psi, making it suitable for robust piping runs where reliability matters.\n- Single-piece, ready-to-use packaging: Ships as a single piece (not split across multiple parts), ideal for quick inventory and straightforward ordering in bulk workflows. What makes it practical in the real world\n- Ideal for irrigation mains, pump discharge lines, and above-ground distribution where you need to step down from 2\" to 1-1\/2\" female threads without sacrificing strength.\n- Great for projects that require Schedule 80 PVC due to chemical resistance and rigid performance in exposed outdoor or semi-enclosed environments.\n- Suitable for DIY homeowners taking on renovations or upgrades, as well as professional installers who value certified materials that meet plumbing codes. How to install with confidence\n- Ensure both mating surfaces are clean and free of debris.\n- Use a PVC-rated thread sealant or PTFE tape approved for threaded PVC connections on the 2\" MPT side; avoid joint cement on threaded connections to preserve the integrity of the threads.\n- Tighten hand-tight plus a modest additional quarter-turn with a wrench to achieve a secure seal. Do not overtighten to prevent thread damage.\n- Verify alignment before applying pressure; for high-pressure scenarios, recheck seals after the system is pressurized.
