Description
Schedule 80 CPVC Reducing Cross (SOC) Bushed
Schedule 80 CPVC Reducing Cross (SOC) Bushed provides a four-way connection with integrated size reduction for compatible Schedule 80 CPVC piping. The bushed configuration incorporates smaller socket connections within the cross body for a compact multi-directional transition.
The Schedule 80 CPVC bushed reducing cross combines multiple socket connections and size transitions in one molded fitting. Selection should account for every nominal connection size, socket compatibility, cross orientation, adjoining CPVC piping, system conditions, and proper solvent-cement joining procedures.

Bushed Reducing Cross Design
The bushed reducing cross design integrates smaller socket connections into the cross body rather than requiring separate reducing bushings at the installation point. This combines four-way branching and size transition within one fitting.
Every connection size should be confirmed before ordering because the fitting may contain more than one nominal socket size. Proper orientation should also be established before assembly begins.
Socket Connections
The socket connections are designed to accept the corresponding compatible CPVC pipe sizes. Each connection uses solvent-cement joining to integrate the reducing cross into the piping layout.
Pipe ends and fitting sockets should be clean and properly prepared before assembly. Compatible CPVC primer, solvent cement, insertion procedures, and required cure times should be followed at each connection.
Integrated Size Reduction
The integrated bushed reduction provides smaller connection sizes directly within the molded cross. This can reduce the need for separate reducing bushings and additional joints around the cross fitting.
The larger and smaller connection locations should be identified before installation. Correct orientation ensures each adjoining CPVC pipe connects to the intended socket size.
Schedule 80 CPVC Application
A Schedule 80 CPVC Bushed Reducing Cross provides a multi-directional size transition for compatible CPVC piping systems. Its four-way layout can support complex branch arrangements while incorporating connection reductions in one fitting.
System temperature, pressure, fluid compatibility, joining requirements, and applicable installation procedures should be reviewed for the intended application. All connected piping should remain properly aligned and supported.
Installation & Selection Considerations
- Confirm every connection size.
- Verify the bushed configuration.
- Identify reduced socket locations.
- Check cross orientation before joining.
- Support all connected piping runs.

Our piping specialists can help review all connection sizes, reduced socket locations, bushed configuration, CPVC compatibility, and installation orientation before you order.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Schedule 80 CPVC Bushed Reducing Cross used for?
It provides a four-way CPVC connection while incorporating reduced socket sizes within the fitting.
What does bushed mean on this cross?
Bushed identifies the integrated reduced socket connections built into the cross configuration.
What does SOC mean?
SOC identifies socket connections designed for compatible CPVC pipe and solvent-cement joining.
How many connections does the fitting have?
The reducing cross has four connection openings arranged around the fitting body.
Why use a bushed reducing cross?
It combines branching and size reduction in one fitting and can reduce the need for separate reducing bushings.
What should I confirm before ordering?
Confirm every connection size, reduced socket locations, bushed configuration, adjoining CPVC pipe sizes, and required orientation.
Important Ordering & Installation Notes
- Confirm every connection size.
- Verify the bushed configuration.
