The System 636 Schedule 40 PVC FGV Reducing Bushing is a versatile fitting designed to reduce pipe size from 1-1/2 inches to 1/2 inch, featuring a spigot connection on one end and a hose barb on the other. This unique configuration allows for flexible connections, such as adapting a larger PVC vent pipe to a smaller hose or drain line. Made from Schedule 40 PVC, it offers robust durability and chemical resistance for various HVAC/R and plumbing applications, including flue gas venting (FGV).
HVAC technicians and plumbers will find this reducing bushing particularly useful for condensate drainage lines from high-efficiency furnaces or for other applications requiring a transition from rigid PVC to a flexible hose. Its spigot end allows for solvent welding into a larger fitting, while the hose barb provides a secure connection for flexible tubing, simplifying complex piping layouts and ensuring leak-free operation.
When incorporating this bushing into your system, ensure the 1-1/2 inch and 1/2 inch dimensions meet your specific connection needs. The Schedule 40 rating indicates its suitability for pressure and non-pressure applications. This System 636 reducing bushing is a practical solution for creating reliable, size-reducing connections in condensate management or other fluid transfer systems.
