{"product_id":"pvc-bushing-1-1-2x3-4-sxf","title":"PVC Bushing, 1-1\/2x3\/4 SxF","description":"\u003cp\u003eNeed to reduce a 1-1\/2\" PVC line to a 3\/4\" threaded outlet? This American Granby bushing does it in one piece, pairing a 1-1\/2\" slip socket with a 3\/4\" FIPT (female iron pipe thread) outlet. Cement the larger end to your pipe and thread a smaller fitting, valve, or accessory into the smaller end, getting both a size change and a thread transition from a single fitting.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eGlue one end, thread the other\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis slip-to-thread design gives you the best of both joining methods, a permanent solvent-welded bond on the pipe side and a serviceable threaded connection on the outlet side that unscrews for future maintenance. It is especially useful for tapping a 3\/4\" threaded device, such as a gauge, drain valve, or sensor, off a larger 1-1\/2\" header in water-treatment plumbing without resorting to multiple stacked adapters that add joints and bulk. Concentrating the work into one bushing keeps the manifold compact and reduces the number of places a leak could develop.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReduces 1-1\/2\" slip to 3\/4\" FIPT\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eConnection: slip socket x FIPT\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFitting type: reducing bushing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaterial: Schedule 40 PVC\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGlue one end, thread the other\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eApproximate weight: 0.11 lb each\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eTo install, prime and cement the slip socket onto clean, square-cut, deburred 1-1\/2\" pipe, then wrap PTFE tape or apply sealant to the male threads of your 3\/4\" component before threading it into the FIPT outlet. Hand-tighten with a careful final turn to protect the plastic threads, stopping before the plastic strains. PVC's resistance to corrosion, scale, and chlorinated water makes this American Granby bushing a long-lasting transition fitting for residential and light-commercial systems, holding up where a metal equivalent would eventually corrode in treated water or brine.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOne reason PVC dominates water-treatment plumbing is its predictable, repeatable behavior across thousands of identical joints. Every fitting shares the same chemistry and dimensional standards, so an installer can stock a single solvent and primer and trust that each connection performs the same way. That consistency, combined with immunity to rust and scale, is why softener, filter, and distribution skids are so often built almost entirely from PVC components like this one.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"American Granby Co","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45668841685045,"sku":"PVC1507STB","price":8.42,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0552\/4950\/2261\/files\/pvc1507stb.jpg?v=1782535362","url":"https:\/\/watersoftenerplus.com\/zh-hant-as\/products\/pvc-bushing-1-1-2x3-4-sxf","provider":"Water Softener Plus","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
