Reducer Bushing for Schedule 40 PVC Pipe (Mipt x Fipt)
Buy at: http://www.flexiblepvc.net/Reducer_Bu...
If you have a larger threaded fitting or opening and you need to insert a smaller threaded pipe into it, you would use a Schedule 40 Mipt x Fipt reducer bushing. Reducer bushings can fit your needs when your project requires the connection of pipes of two different diameters. These fittings are slightly different than couplings, although couplings can also connect two pipes of different sizes. Bushings, unlike couplings, tend to fit "inside" another fitting much like a "spigot" fitting, allowing the user to place the bushing into the larger fitting, thus reducing the diameter that the larger fitting requires. This fitting has a male pipe thread (mipt) on one and and allows another, smaller male pipe thread to be screwed into it. For example, if you are using a 2" x 1" Schedule 40 mipt x fipt reducer bushing, you would first screw the male part of the bushing into a 2" fitting and then simply screw your 1" male threaded pipe or fitting into it. All of our Schedule 40 fittings are NSF rated 14 & 61, which means they are certified for use with potable (drinking) water. Maximum temperature is 140°F.
