Product Description
Choose from a wide variety of Schedule 40 Reducer Bushings to adapt your system to sudden changes. Step pipe and valve connections up or down at will depending on need, or use the slip x thread bushings to quickly make threaded fittings. They'll give you a quick fix and save another trip to the store! If you're painted into a corner and have to change sizes, reducer bushings will fill the bill. They fit all standard PVC irrigation pipe classes from inch Class 125 to 2 inch Schedule 80. Class and Schedule sizes are stated in Iron Pipe Size (IPS) and relate to thickness of fitting and pipe walls. See our complete line of IPS PVC Pipe Cements and Primers to weld your system together.

How To Use Tips
To connect different size valves to PVC pipe (i.e., 1 inch valves to 3/4 inch pipe), use a female or male adapter rather than a bushing. To prevent leaks, use Teflon tape on the connecting threads of system parts that are always under pressure. Haste makes waste! Always test your connections before applying glue or tape to make sure everything fits properly. Use a Nipple Stub Extractor Wrench to remove damaged or broken risers without digging up the affected area. Check our complete line of sprinkler heads including pop-up, impact and gear driven models. We also offer a large selection of clocks and valves to put the finishing touch on your system.
