This Spears reducer bushing pipe fitting, in gray, is made of schedule 40 PVC and has a spigot end connection and a socket end connection. This reducer bushing has one end smaller than the other for connecting two pipes with different diameters and end types. It has a male spigot connection on one end for fitting into a female unthreaded pipe and a female socket connection on the other end for sliding over the end of a male pipe. The spigot end has the same diameter as the pipe it connects to, minimizing turbulence and creating a tight seal, and the socket end connects to a pipe with a smooth bore for enhanced go with the flow. This schedule 40 (standard wall) fitting is made of PVC (polyvinyl chloride) for corrosion resistance, high strength, and less weight than fittings made from metal. It is compatible with schedule 40 PVC pipes and fittings. PVC can also be connected to other materials such as steel, copper, or cast iron the usage of transition fittings. This fitting provides superior go with the flow to metal on account of its smooth interior finish, which reduces friction and inhibits buildup of materials. This fitting complies with National Sanitation Foundation International (NSF)/American National Standards Institute (ANSI) 61 Annex G, NSF/ANSI 372, and conforms with lead content requirements for “lead free” plumbing as defined by California, Vermont, Maryland, and Louisiana state laws and the U.S. Protected Drinking Water Act because of take effect January 2014. This reducer bushing pipe fitting is suitable to be used in cold-water pressure distribution systems including irrigation, pool and spa, potable water, and chilled water applications.
Pipe fittings are components used for connecting, terminating, controlling go with the flow, and changing the direction of piping in various industries. When purchasing pipe fittings, imagine the application, as this will impact material type, shape, size, and required durability. Fittings are available threaded or unthreaded, in many shapes, styles, sizes, and schedules (pipe wall thickness).
Spears Manufacturing produces thermoplastic fittings and valves for fluid, drain, waste, and vent systems. The company, founded in 1969 and headquartered in Sylmar, CA, meets International Organization for Standardization (ISO) standard 9001.
