Sch40 REDUCING BUSHING FLUSH STYLE (SPIG x FIPT)
Product Overview
Missing a critical reducer in the field can halt a high volume installation and leave your crews waiting while turf quality declines under summer heat. In the peak of the irrigation season, even a single mismatched connection leads to delayed project handovers and failed pressure tests. Supply chain fluctuations often cause sudden shortages for specific transitional fittings, creating bottlenecks during your busiest months. By securing your inventory of flush style reducing bushings now, you eliminate the risk of back-orders and ensure your systems remain pressurized and operational when your clients need them most.
The Lesso Schedule 40 Flush Style Reducing Bushing offers a distinct technical advantage for tight manifolds and compact valve boxes where space is at a premium. Unlike standard bushings that add length to the pipe run, the flush design allows for a streamlined transition between SPIG and FIPT connections without increasing the overall footprint of the assembly. This efficiency saves your crew labor time during manifold fabrication and reduces the long term risk of mechanical stress on the joints. Maintaining a stock of these professional grade PVC fittings provides you with a competitive edge by allowing for immediate repairs and modifications without multiple trips to the supply house.

Installation Notes
When installing flush style bushings, ensure the spigot end is fully deburred and cleaned before applying primer and solvent cement to both the bushing and the socket. For threaded connections on the FIPT side, use a high quality PTFE tape or non hardening pipe thread sealant to prevent galling or leaks. Avoid over tightening threaded components to prevent stress cracking in the PVC material. Always follow local plumbing codes and manufacturer cure time charts before subjecting the system to full operating pressure.
