Durable Schedule 40 PVC threaded reducer bushing that converts a 1/2" MIPT to a 3/8" FIPT. Made for irrigation and potable water systems where PVC fittings are required, this reducer provides a reliable, corrosion-resistant connection for reducing pipe sizes without metal components.

  • Material: Schedule 40 PVC, white finish, chemical-resistant and lightweight.
  • Connections: 1/2" male pipe thread (MIPT) to 3/8" female pipe thread (FIPT).
  • Certifications: Meets NSF 14 and NSF 61 standards for potable water and irrigation use.
  • Operating limits: Typical temperature range up to 140°F; manufacturer listings commonly show pressure ratings for cold-water applications (refer to manufacturer data for exact limits).
  • Dimensions: Compact schedule-40 form factor—overall length approximately 1.14" with standard thread profiles for simple installation.

Easy to install with standard pipe thread sealant or tape; do not use for compressed air or high-temperature dwelling hot-water systems unless manufacturer permits. Ideal for repairs, irrigation systems, and utility plumbing where a secure PVC-to-PVC threaded reduction is needed.
