Sch80 REDUCING BUSHING FLUSH STYLE (SPIG x FIPT)
Product Overview
System failures due to inferior fittings often result in costly shutdowns, significant water waste, and damaged turf that your clients cannot afford. During the peak summer heat or the rush of late spring installations, a single cracked bushing can lead to missed project deadlines and failed inspections. Supply chain shortages and long lead times for specialized Schedule 80 components are a constant threat to your schedule. High quality Lesso fittings prevent these setbacks; securing your inventory now provides the relief of knowing your crews can complete installs without delays when demand is at its highest.
The Lesso Schedule 80 Flush Style Reducing Bushing offers a significant technical advantage over standard Schedule 40 alternatives by providing higher pressure ratings and superior chemical resistance. The flush style design allows for compact manifold configurations and neat installations in tight spaces, saving your team labor time during assembly. Standardizing on these heavy duty fittings reduces long term maintenance costs and catastrophic leak risks. By stocking professional grade Sch 80 components, you maintain a competitive edge through superior system longevity and reduced warranty callbacks.

Installation Notes
When installing this bushing, apply a high quality PVC primer and solvent cement to the spigot end according to manufacturer instructions. For the FIPT connection, use a professional grade PTFE tape or thread sealant to ensure a watertight seal without over tightening, which can lead to stress cracking. Always verify that the bushing is fully seated within the socket to maintain the structural integrity of the joint and ensure compliance with local plumbing codes.
