PVC Bushing, 1-1/2x3/4 SxS

This American Granby PVC bushing reduces a 1-1/2" slip socket down to a 3/4" slip socket, both ends ready for solvent welding. It is the go-to fitting when you need to step a glued PVC run from 1-1/2" down to 3/4" without introducing any threaded joints, keeping the entire transition inside the cemented system.

An all-welded reduction

A slip x slip bushing keeps the reduction entirely within the solvent-weld system, so there are no threads to seal and no removable connections that can loosen over time. Drop the bushing into the socket of a 1-1/2" fitting, then cement your 3/4" pipe into the bushing's smaller socket, an efficient way to branch down to a smaller line off a larger header in a softener or filtration manifold. The permanent bond it creates is as strong as the pipe itself and will not weep or back off, which is exactly what you want in a buried or hard-to-reach junction.

• Reduces 1-1/2" pipe to 3/4" pipe
• Connection: slip socket x slip socket
• Fitting type: reducing bushing
• Material: Schedule 40 PVC
• Solvent-weld both ends for a permanent joint
• Approximate weight: 0.11 lb each

For a strong, leak-free bond, cut the pipe square, deburr the edges, and wipe both the pipe and the socket clean before applying PVC primer followed by cement to each. Seat the pipe fully with a slight twist to spread the cement, then hold briefly while the joint sets. Dry-fitting the assembly first helps confirm everything orients correctly before the bond becomes permanent. The smooth, corrosion-resistant bore of PVC keeps treated water flowing cleanly with no internal scaling or rust from the fitting. For reducing line sizes in glued PVC assemblies, this American Granby bushing is a clean, dependable solution.

Schedule 40 PVC fittings remain a favorite among professional installers and DIY homeowners because they assemble quickly, cost little, and last for decades in cold-water service. Unlike threaded metal, a solvent-welded PVC joint cannot rust shut or develop the slow seeping corrosion that eventually plagues galvanized assemblies. Keep PVC primer, the correct cement, a deburring tool, and a square saw cut on hand, and you can build durable, reliable connections throughout a water-treatment system with confidence.
