Description
Schedule 80 CPVC Reducing Bushing (SPG x SOC)
Schedule 80 CPVC Reducing Bushing (SPG x SOC) provides a compact size transition between a compatible CPVC fitting socket and smaller CPVC pipe. The fitting combines a spigot exterior with a reduced socket interior for solvent-cement joining.
The Schedule 80 CPVC reducing bushing is designed to install directly into a compatible socket while providing a smaller socket connection for the adjoining CPVC pipe. Selection should account for both nominal sizes, spigot compatibility, reduced socket compatibility, system conditions, and proper CPVC joining procedures.

Reducing Bushing Design
The reducing bushing design allows a larger CPVC socket to transition to a smaller pipe size within one compact fitting. The exterior spigot fits into the larger receiving socket while the interior socket accepts the reduced pipe size.
Both nominal sizes should be confirmed before ordering because the larger and smaller connection sizes serve different roles. Correct fitting orientation should be established before solvent-cement joining.
Spigot Connection
The spigot connection is designed to fit directly into an appropriately sized compatible CPVC socket. This allows the reducing bushing to install within another fitting without requiring an intermediate pipe section.
The spigot surface and receiving socket should be clean and properly prepared before joining. Compatible CPVC primer, solvent cement, insertion procedures, and required cure times should be followed.
Reduced Socket Connection
The reduced socket connection accepts the smaller compatible CPVC pipe size. This creates the reduced side of the transition while maintaining a solvent-cement connection.
The pipe end and socket should be properly prepared and aligned before assembly. Proper insertion and applicable curing requirements should be followed for a reliable connection.
Schedule 80 CPVC Application
A Schedule 80 CPVC Reducing Bushing SPG x SOC provides a compact way to reduce a fitting socket to a smaller CPVC pipe size. The nested design can reduce the need for a separate reducing coupling or additional pipe section.
System temperature, pressure, fluid compatibility, joining requirements, and applicable installation procedures should be reviewed for the intended application. Proper piping alignment and support should be maintained around the transition.
Installation & Selection Considerations
- Confirm both nominal sizes.
- Verify the SPG x SOC configuration.
- Confirm receiving socket compatibility.
- Check reduced pipe compatibility.
- Maintain proper piping alignment.

Our piping specialists can help review both nominal sizes, receiving socket compatibility, reduced pipe size, CPVC joining requirements, and installation considerations before you order.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Schedule 80 CPVC Reducing Bushing used for?
It reduces a compatible CPVC socket to a smaller CPVC pipe size.
What does SPG x SOC mean?
It means the fitting has a spigot exterior and a socket connection for the reduced pipe size.
What connects to the spigot end?
The spigot portion is designed to fit into an appropriately sized compatible CPVC socket.
What connects to the socket side?
The reduced socket accepts appropriately sized compatible CPVC pipe.
How are the connections installed?
Both interfaces are designed for compatible CPVC solvent-cement joining using proper preparation and cure procedures.
What should I confirm before ordering?
Confirm both nominal sizes, SPG x SOC configuration, receiving socket size, reduced pipe size, and system requirements.
Important Ordering & Installation Notes
- Confirm both nominal sizes.
- Verify the SPG x SOC configuration.
- Confirm receiving socket compatibility.
- Check reduced pipe size.
- Use compatible CPVC joining procedures.
