PVC Bushing, 2x1-1/2 SxS

Reducing a 2" PVC run to 1-1/2" is a quick, single-fitting task with this American Granby slip x slip bushing. Both ends are slip sockets sized for solvent welding, letting you step down a glued pipe line cleanly without introducing any threaded joints, ideal for larger-diameter softener, filtration, and backwash plumbing.

A clean step-down in glued PVC

By keeping the reduction entirely within the cemented system, this bushing eliminates threaded connections that could loosen or leak over time. It seats into the socket of a 2" fitting, and your 1-1/2" pipe cements into the bushing's smaller socket, an efficient way to branch down from a 2" header to a 1-1/2" line. The solvent-weld bond it forms is permanent and as strong as the pipe, which is exactly what larger systems need at junctions that carry meaningful flow and pressure.

• Reduces 2" pipe to 1-1/2" pipe
• Connection: slip socket x slip socket
• Fitting type: reducing bushing
• Material: Schedule 40 PVC
• Solvent-weld both ends for a permanent bond
• Approximate weight: 0.14 lb each

For a reliable joint, cut the pipe square, deburr the edges, and clean both surfaces, then apply PVC primer followed by cement to both the pipe and the socket. Insert the pipe fully with a slight twisting motion to spread the cement and hold while the bond sets; larger joints benefit from prompt assembly once cement is applied. Dry-fit first to confirm orientation before committing. PVC's smooth bore and corrosion resistance keep treated water moving freely with no rust or scale from the fitting itself. When a line needs to drop a size in a glued 2" assembly, this American Granby bushing handles it cleanly and permanently.

Because PVC will not corrode internally, the inside diameter stays clean and full-bore for the life of the line, preserving the flow and pressure that metal pipe loses to scale and rust over the years. That matters in water-treatment plumbing, where consistent flow keeps softeners and filters operating within their design range. Pair this fitting with quality pipe, proper primer and cement, and clean, square cuts, and it will deliver dependable, leak-free service for the long term.
