Sch40 REDUCING BUSHING FLUSH STYLE (SPIG x SOC)
Product Overview
Missing a critical fitting during a mid-summer install can halt an entire project, leading to costly labor delays and frustrated clients. When a system remains offline due to a simple component like a reducing bushing, the risk of turf stress or crop loss increases by the hour. Peak season demand often leads to local supply shortages and back-orders, making it difficult to find specific PVC components exactly when you need them. Securing your inventory now ensures that your crews remain productive and your project deadlines are met without the stress of last-minute sourcing.
The Lesso Schedule 40 Flush Style Reducing Bushing provides a compact solution for transitioning pipe sizes within a fitting socket, a technical advantage over standard bushings that can add unnecessary length to a manifold. These flush style fittings allow for tight configurations in valve boxes and manifold headers where space is at a premium. By utilizing high-quality PVC construction, you reduce the risk of stress cracks and leaks that often plague lower-grade alternatives. Keeping a full stock of various sizes allows your team to handle onsite design changes immediately, maintaining your competitive edge and reducing unbillable trips to the supply house.

Installation Notes
Clean both the spigot exterior and the socket interior with professional-grade PVC primer before application. Apply a uniform layer of solvent cement and insert the bushing into the fitting socket until the flange is flush against the fitting rim. Hold the fitting in place for thirty seconds to prevent push-out. Ensure the assembly is allowed to cure for the manufacturer-recommended duration before pressure testing the system to avoid joint failure.
