Reducer Bushing 2-1/2 in x 3/4 in PVC Spigot x Socket (SCH 40)
This reducer bushing converts a 2-1/2" nominal spigot connection down to a 3/4" nominal socket connection for Schedule 40 PVC systems. Designed for standard plumbing and irrigation applications, it provides a reliable, low-cost way to join different pipe sizes while maintaining system integrity. Part number: 437-288.
- Nominal size: 2-1/2" x 3/4" (spigot x socket) — fits standard Schedule 40 PVC pipe.
- Material & rating: Molded PVC, Schedule 40 (SCH 40), temperature rating up to 140°F for typical plumbing applications.
- Standards: Manufactured to common industry specifications (ASTM D1784 / D2466) and listed by many suppliers to meet NSF/ANSI potable-water standards.
- Dimensions: Compact molded design with approximate length ~2-3/8" and spigot insertion depth suitable for solvent-cement joining.
- Use & compatibility: Ideal for residential and commercial plumbing, irrigation, and retrofit work where a reduction from 2-1/2" to 3/4" is required.
Install by preparing the pipe ends per solvent‑cement manufacturer recommendations: clean, apply primer/cement to the socket, then insert spigot fully and allow recommended cure time before pressurizing. Verify part number 437-288 against your piping drawings and measure pipe O.D. if exact fit is critical. For potable-water installations, confirm local code approvals and NSF listings when required.
