The System 636 1-1/2 in. x 1/2 in. Spigot x Hose Barbed CPVC FGV Reducing Bushing is a specialized fitting designed for condensate management in high-efficiency flue gas venting systems. It allows for a secure transition from a larger 1-1/2 inch CPVC spigot connection, typically found on flue pipes, to a smaller 1/2 inch hose barbed connection, commonly used for condensate drain lines. This component is essential for safely routing acidic condensate away from condensing furnaces, boilers, and water heaters.
HVAC installers and service technicians will utilize this reducing bushing to create reliable condensate drainage pathways. The spigot end integrates seamlessly with System 636 CPVC piping, while the hose barbed end provides a convenient and leak-resistant connection for flexible condensate tubing. Proper condensate removal is critical for the longevity and efficiency of condensing appliances, preventing water accumulation and potential damage.
Constructed from durable grey CPVC, this bushing offers superior chemical resistance to the acidic condensate produced by high-efficiency appliances, ensuring long-term durability. When designing or repairing a flue gas vent system, selecting the correct fittings like this System 636 reducing bushing is vital for maintaining system integrity, preventing corrosion, and ensuring compliance with venting standards for optimal HVAC/R performance.
