The Charlotte Pipe Schedule 80 2 in. Spigot X 1 in. D FPT PVC Reducing Bushing is a purpose-built, lead-free connector engineered to bridge a 2-inch PVC spigot with a 1-inch female pipe thread (FPT) outlet. Designed for reliable, high-pressure work, this adapter helps you simplify pipe runs by converting a large-diameter main line to a compatible downstream connection without compromising durability.
Why this reducing bushing stands out
-
Lead-free construction supports safe, tidy potable-water installations and peace of mind in everyday use.
-
IAPMO certified and NSF listed for confidence in meeting industry standards and clean-water requirements.
-
Schedule 80 PVC with thicker walls for enhanced strength and abrasion resistance in challenging environments, making it suitable for demanding pressure applications.
-
2" spigot to 1" FPT configuration directly transitions from a 2" socket connection to a 1" threaded outlet, enabling secure, leak-resistant downstream connections to valves, pumps, or fittings with 1" male threads.
-
Robust pressure performance rated up to 630 psi, supporting a wide range of above-ground water and irrigation systems where reliable flow is critical.

Ideal use scenarios
- Upgrade or repair irrigation mains where a 2" PVC line must feed a smaller, threaded 1" component such as valves, pumps, or meters.
- Potable-water distribution in above-ground systems where lead-free materials and water-quality certifications are important.
- Industrial or commercial piping runs that demand durable, high-strength connections without sacrificing ease of assembly.
- Temporary or semi-permanent installations that benefit from a reliable 2" to 1" transitional fitting.
Practical installation tips
- For the 2" spigot end, insert into a matching 2" PVC socket and solvent-w weld with approved PVC cement according to standard piping procedures.
- For the 1" FPT end, align with a 1" male-threaded component. Use an appropriate thread sealant rated for PVC/NPT connections to ensure a tight seal; avoid overtightening to prevent thread damage.
- Verify system cleanliness and remove any debris before assembly to maintain a clean, secure connection.
- Follow local codes and guidelines for above-ground PVC installations, especially where potable-water use is a requirement.
When you need a dependable, standards-compliant adapter that smoothly transitions from a 2" PVC spigot to a 1" threaded outlet, the Charlotte Pipe Schedule 80 reducing bushing delivers strength, safety, and reliable performance in a single, easy-to-install solution.
