PVC Bushings (also known as reducer bushings or PVC reducing rings) are fittings used to connect pipes of different sizes together. They’re an essential component in any PVC plumbing system where you need to reduce the diameter of a fitting or increase pipe opening, allowing you to join larger pipes to smaller ones while maintaining a strong, leak-proof connection.

🔧 What Do They Do?

Connection Type:

  • Spigot x Socket – The spigot end goes into a fitting (like an elbow or tee), while the socket end accepts a smaller pipe.
  • Spigot x Female Threaded FNPT -The spigot end goes into a fitting (like an elbow or tee), while the female threaded FNPT end accepts a male threaded MNPT pipe. The female and male end must be the size same.

They are manufactured for both Schedule 40 (SCH40) and Schedule 80 (SCH80) PVC systems:

  • Schedule 40 is ideal for residential plumbing, irrigation, and low-pressure systems.
  • Schedule 80 is thicker and stronger, making it suitable for commercial, industrial, and high-pressure applications.

Why Are They Important?

  1. Efficient Pipe Size Transition
    They allow you to step down or go up from one pipe size to another without needing a bulky and expensive fitting replacement.
  2. Space-Saving
    Schedule-40 or 80 PVC Reducing bushings fit neatly inside standard SCH40/80 PVC fittings, making them great for tight spaces.
  3. Cost-Effective
    Simply insert a reducing bushing to adapt to any compatiable existing systems.
  4. Code Compliance and Safety
    When you use certified bushings from a reliable supplier, you ensure your system meets plumbing and building codes for potable water, drainage, or industrial use.
