Description
Schedule 40 PVC Reducing Bushing (SPG x SOC)
Schedule 40 PVC Reducing Bushing (SPG x SOC) provides a compact transition between different nominal pipe sizes using a spigot connection on one side and a socket connection on the other. The reducing configuration allows compatible Schedule 40 PVC piping components of different sizes to be joined within a solvent-weld piping system.
The Spigot x Socket reducing bushing configuration combines a size transition with two compatible solvent-weld connection interfaces. Selection should account for both nominal connection sizes, adjoining fitting compatibility, PVC joining requirements, piping layout, service conditions, system alignment, and available installation clearance.

Reducing Bushing Design
The reducing bushing configuration provides a direct transition between different nominal PVC connection sizes. Its compact design allows the size change to be made at a compatible fitting connection without adding a longer combination of separate reducing components.
The bushing should be selected according to both listed nominal connection sizes. Adjoining fitting dimensions, piping layout, connection requirements, system alignment, and available installation space should all be confirmed before ordering.
Spigot Connection
The spigot connection is designed to fit into an appropriately sized compatible PVC socket. This end of the reducing bushing provides a solvent-weld interface similar to the outside connection surface used with compatible PVC piping components.
The spigot and mating socket should be clean and properly prepared before assembly. Appropriate PVC joining materials and installation procedures should be followed to produce a properly assembled solvent-cement connection.
Socket Connection
The socket connection provides the opposite side of the size transition and is designed to receive an appropriately sized compatible PVC connection. The socket surface should be inspected and properly prepared before solvent-cement assembly begins.
The mating component should be fully inserted and maintained in proper alignment during assembly. The completed solvent-cement joint should receive the required set and cure time before the piping system is placed into service.
Spigot-to-Socket Size Transition
A Schedule 40 PVC Reducing Bushing (SPG x SOC) provides a compact solution when a PVC piping assembly must transition between different nominal sizes while retaining solvent-weld connections. The fitting combines spigot and socket interfaces within a single reducing component.
Application suitability should be evaluated using the requirements of the complete piping system. Both nominal sizes, mating component compatibility, PVC joining materials, service conditions, piping support, system alignment, and applicable installation practices should all be considered during selection.
Installation & Selection Considerations
- Confirm both nominal sizes.
- Verify SPG x SOC configuration.
- Confirm mating fitting compatibility.
- Use appropriate PVC joining materials.
- Maintain proper alignment during solvent welding.
Our PVC fitting specialists can help review both nominal connection sizes, Spigot x Socket configuration, mating fitting requirements, compatible PVC components, joining methods, piping layout, intended service conditions, and available installation clearance before you order.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Schedule 40 PVC Reducing Bushing used for?
It provides a compact transition between different nominal PVC connection sizes using compatible spigot and socket connections.
What does SPG x SOC mean?
SPG x SOC identifies a Spigot connection on one side and a Socket connection on the opposite side.
Why is this called a reducing bushing?
The fitting transitions between different nominal connection sizes within a compact bushing configuration.
How is the spigot end connected?
The spigot end fits into a compatible PVC socket and is assembled using the appropriate solvent-cement joining procedure.
How is the socket connection installed?
The socket receives an appropriately sized compatible PVC connection and is joined using the applicable PVC solvent-cement procedure.
What should I confirm before ordering?
Confirm both nominal sizes, SPG x SOC configuration, mating component compatibility, joining requirements, and installation conditions.
Important Ordering & Installation Notes
- Confirm both nominal sizes.
- Verify SPG x SOC configuration.
- Confirm mating component compatibility.
- Inspect both connection surfaces before installation.
- Allow proper solvent-cement set and cure time.
