2" Spigot x 1-1/2" FNPT Reducing Bushing (Sch. 80, Spears 838-251)

The P-WAT-3464 (Spears 838-251) is a high-strength, gray PVC fitting designed for commercial and industrial fluid applications requiring increased pressure capacity. As a reducer bushing, it is molded to integrate a pipe fitting that changes both size and connection method.

Connections and Specifications

• Fitting Type: Reducing Bushing (Straight Pipe).
• Material: PVC (Gray), Schedule 80/XH construction for high pressure.
• Large End (Side 1 - Male): 2-inch Spigot (Male). This connection is the same size as 2-inch PVC pipe OD and is designed to be solvent-welded (cemented) inside a 2-inch Socket fitting (hence, it is a "Socket Weld" type reduction).
• Small End (Side 2 - Female): 1-1/2-inch FNPT (Female National Pipe Thread). This connection is designed to thread onto a 1-1/2-inch male NPT fitting.
• Nominal Size: 2 inches x 1-1/2 inches.
• Max Operating Pressure: 235 psi (at 73°F).
• Max Temperature: 140°F.
• Application: Suitable for Non-Potable Water and Potable Water applications (certified by NSF).

Function

This fitting is used to reduce a 2-inch line (or a 2-inch component socket) down to a 1-1/2-inch threaded connection point, often for mounting instruments, sensors, or tapping into a larger line for a smaller side stream.
