PVC Pipe Fitting Bushing, Schedule 80, 1-1/2 Spigot x 1/2 Socket

This Spears schedule 80 PVC bushing fitting is designed with a spigot connection on one end and a socket opening on the other, making it suitable for connecting two pipes with different diameters. The socket end is specifically engineered for connecting to pipes with a smooth bore to enhance flow, while the spigot end matches the diameter of the pipe it connects to, reducing turbulence and ensuring a tight seal. Constructed of gray PVC (polyvinyl chloride), this bushing fitting offers exceptional chemical and corrosion resistance, as well as high strength, and is lighter than metal fittings.

It is compatible with schedule 80 PVC pipes and fittings, suitable for use in chemical processing, industrial plating, chilled water distribution, deionized water lines, and chemical drainage and wastewater treatment systems. Additionally, PVC can be connected to other materials such as steel, copper, or cast iron using transition fittings. With a maximum operating temperature of 140 degrees F, it meets ASTM International D1784 and D2467 standards for quality assurance and is certified by the National Sanitation Foundation International (NSF) for potable water service. This schedule 80 PVC bushing fitting is ideal for connecting pipes used in conveying drinking water, waste water, chemicals, and other liquids across various industries.

Pipe fittings are essential components for connecting, terminating, controlling flow, and altering the direction of piping in a multitude of industries. When selecting pipe fittings, it is crucial to consider the application, as this influences the material type, shape, size, and necessary durability. Fittings are available in threaded or unthreaded options, as well as in various shapes, styles, sizes, and schedules to accommodate different pipe wall thicknesses.
