Description
Schedule 80 PVC Reducer Bushing (SPG x SOC)
Schedule 80 PVC Reducer Bushing (SPG x SOC) provides a compact transition between different compatible PVC connection sizes using an exterior spigot connection and an interior socket connection. The spigot end fits into an appropriately sized compatible receiving socket, while the socket opening receives compatible PVC pipe.
The SPG x SOC reducer bushing configuration combines a size reduction with two solvent-cement connection interfaces in one fitting. Selection should account for both nominal sizes, Schedule 80 PVC compatibility, receiving socket size, adjoining PVC pipe size, required reduction, joining requirements, component alignment, and available installation clearance.

Reducer Bushing Design
The reducer bushing configuration combines an exterior spigot connection with an interior socket opening to create a compact size transition. The fitting installs into a compatible receiving socket while providing a smaller socket connection for appropriately sized compatible PVC pipe.
This arrangement can provide the required size change without adding a separate coupling-style transition. Both nominal sizes should be confirmed before installation so the exterior spigot and interior socket correspond with the intended piping arrangement.
Spigot & Socket Connections
The spigot connection fits into an appropriately sized compatible receiving socket, while the socket opening receives compatible PVC pipe. The SPG x SOC arrangement allows both sides of the reducer bushing to integrate with compatible socket-style PVC connections.
The mating surfaces should be prepared using the appropriate PVC solvent-cement joining procedure for the installation. Proper preparation, compatible joining materials, adequate insertion, and correct alignment help establish the connections without placing unnecessary stress on the bushing or adjoining components.
Schedule 80 PVC Integration
The Schedule 80 PVC construction allows the reducer bushing to integrate into compatible Schedule 80 PVC piping arrangements requiring a size transition. Matching both nominal connection sizes to the receiving socket and adjoining PVC pipe helps maintain the intended piping configuration.
Application suitability should be evaluated using the requirements of the complete piping system rather than the schedule designation alone. Intended service conditions, adjoining materials, connection compatibility, joining materials, installation environment, piping support, and applicable practices should all be considered during fitting selection.
Compact Size Transition
A Schedule 80 PVC Reducer Bushing provides a compact method for transitioning between different compatible PVC connection sizes. The SPG x SOC configuration places the smaller socket connection within the bushing while the exterior spigot installs into the larger compatible receiving socket.
Installation planning should consider both connection sizes, spigot insertion, pipe insertion, adjoining component alignment, nearby fittings, and available working clearance. Components should align naturally with the bushing so the fitting is not relied upon to correct an offset or support improperly positioned piping.
Installation & Selection Considerations
- Confirm both nominal sizes.
- Verify the required size reduction.
- Check Schedule 80 PVC compatibility.
- Match the spigot and socket positions correctly.
- Confirm adequate clearance for final assembly.
Our PVC fitting specialists can help review both nominal sizes, Schedule 80 requirements, SPG x SOC configuration, required reduction, receiving socket, adjoining PVC pipe, joining requirements, component alignment, piping layout, and available installation clearance before you order.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Schedule 80 PVC Reducer Bushing used for?
It provides a compact transition between different compatible PVC connection sizes using spigot and socket connections.
What does SPG mean?
SPG identifies a spigot-style connection designed to fit into an appropriately sized compatible receiving socket.
What does SOC mean?
SOC identifies a socket-style connection designed to receive appropriately sized compatible PVC pipe.
Why is this fitting called a reducer bushing?
The fitting installs into a compatible receiving socket while providing a smaller socket opening for compatible PVC pipe.
Do both connections use solvent cement?
Yes. The spigot and socket interfaces are assembled with compatible PVC components using the appropriate solvent-cement joining procedure for the installation.
What should I confirm before ordering?
Confirm both nominal sizes, the required reduction, SPG x SOC connection arrangement, Schedule 80 PVC compatibility, and the adjoining socket and pipe sizes.
Important Ordering & Installation Notes
- Inspect both connections before use.
- Confirm both nominal connection sizes.
- Prepare each mating surface correctly.
- Verify the bushing position before cementing.
- Use compatible PVC joining materials throughout.
