Description
This plain reducing bush is designed to reduce the internal bore of a Corzan CPVC fitting, allowing a smaller pipe size to be connected within a larger socket. It provides a neat, space-efficient method of stepping down pipe diameter without altering the external layout of the pipework.
Manufactured from high-performance Corzan CPVC, the reducing bush offers excellent resistance to corrosive chemicals, elevated temperatures and pressurised conditions. The bush is solvent welded directly into the socket of a compatible CPVC fitting using PVC-C solvent cement and Eco-Cleaner, forming a permanent, leak-tight joint with no requirement for hot works.
Its compact, lightweight design makes it particularly useful where space is limited or where maintaining alignment is critical. As part of a fully matched Corzan CPVC system, the reducing bush supports long service life, reduced maintenance and dependable performance in demanding industrial environments.
