PVC Bush, 3/4x1/4 Mipt x Fipt

This American Granby PVC reducing bushing adapts a 3/4" MIPT (male iron pipe thread) connection down to a 1/4" FIPT (female iron pipe thread) outlet—a large-to-small step that comes up constantly when fitting gauges, sensors, or small-bore lines into a 3/4" port. Built from Schedule 40 PVC, it delivers dependable corrosion resistance at a budget-friendly price, which makes it an easy part to stock for the steady stream of small adaptations a real installation demands but that rarely make it onto the original parts list.

• Reducing bushing, 3/4" MIPT x 1/4" FIPT
• Schedule 40 PVC construction
• Threaded male-by-female connection
• Steps a 3/4" port down to a 1/4" outlet
• Lightweight at roughly 0.04 lbs each
• Corrosion-resistant and chemically inert

Reducing bushings solve the everyday challenge of mating components with mismatched thread sizes. With this fitting you can adapt a 3/4" opening to accept a 1/4" pressure gauge, injection fitting, sample valve, or small connection without reworking the larger plumbing around it, which saves both time and material. The inert PVC body will not react with the chlorine, salt brine, or treated water flowing through filtration and softener assemblies, so it provides a clean, lasting adaptation that holds up where a metal fitting might eventually corrode in the same service.

Installation tips

For a leak-free joint, wrap the male threads with PTFE thread-seal tape or use a PVC-rated thread sealant, then hand-tighten and add a careful final turn with a wrench to bring the joint snug. Over-tightening can crack PVC, so resist the urge to muscle it—the threads seal with sealant and proper engagement, not brute force. Verify that the pressure rating fits your application and stay within the recommended temperature limits during operation. A handy, economical adapter for gauge ports, dosing connections, and instrument fittings throughout a water-treatment system, it is one of those small but indispensable parts that keeps an installation moving when a thread size does not quite line up. Affordable, corrosion-resistant, and always useful, this reducing bushing is the kind of small part that keeps a water-treatment installation moving when thread sizes do not quite line up. A few in the parts bin keep your installations moving without an extra trip for supplies.
