1" x 1/4" PVC Reducer Bushing (Spears 838-128, SCH 80)
The (Spears 838-128) is a precision-molded PVC fitting designed to reduce a 1-inch pipe run down to a 1/4-inch threaded port. As a Schedule 80 fitting, it features thicker walls than standard Schedule 40 PVC, allowing it to handle higher internal pressures and providing greater structural integrity in industrial environments.
This bushing features a Socket (Slip) connection on the outside, meant to be glued into a 1-inch PVC fitting, and a Female National Pipe Thread (FNPT) on the inside to accept a 1/4-inch male threaded component, such as a pressure gauge, sensor, or small-diameter chemical line.
Tommy Car Wash System Application
Within Tommy Car Wash Systems, this part is a critical component of the Tommy RO (Reverse Osmosis) System. It is typically used in the filtration manifold to mount instrumentation or to facilitate the connection of small-diameter tubing used for water quality monitoring and chemical injection. Its PVC construction is ideal for RO systems because it does not leach minerals or corrode when exposed to high-purity permeate water.
