| Connection Type | Socket x Spigot (slip fit for solvent cement welding; larger end accepts pipe, smaller end inserts into fitting) |
| Color | White (pressure-rated designation) |
| Standards Compliance | ASTM D2466 (Sch 40 fittings), ASTM D1785 (pipe compatibility), ASTM D2665 (DWV dual-rating); SASO 14/15 (Saudi standards); NSF/ANSI 14 & 61 (potable water certification); GSO 898/1127 |
| Pressure Rating | Up to 280 PSI at 73°F (23°C); derates with temperature (e.g., 160 PSI at 100°F/38°C) |
| Temperature Range | 32°F to 140°F (0°C to 60°C); suitable for cold water only |
| Weight (approx.) | 0.1–0.15 lbs (45–68 g) per unit |
| Dimensions (approx.) | Overall length: 1.5–2 inches (38–51 mm); insertion depth: 0.75–1 inch (19–25 mm) per end |
| Warranty | 25 years against manufacturing defects (per AGM standards) |
These specifications ensure compatibility with AGM Sch 40 uPVC pipes and dual-use for pressure or drainage systems.
Installation
Installation of the AGM uPVC Red Bush 1-1/2 x 1-1/4″ Sch 40 uses standard solvent cement methods for PVC fittings. Ensure compliance with local codes (e.g., IPC/UPC) and use protective gear (gloves, goggles). Steps include:
- Preparation: Measure and cut the larger 1-1/2″ pipe square with a PVC cutter or saw. Deburr and bevel the edges to avoid leaks. Dry-fit the bushing to confirm alignment.
- Cleaning: Wipe the pipe end and bushing socket (larger end) with a dry cloth to remove contaminants. Apply PVC primer to the pipe’s outer surface (1/2 inch deep) and the bushing’s socket interior to etch and prepare surfaces.
- Application: Use a medium-body PVC cement (ASTM D2564 compliant) applied evenly with a dauber on the primed areas. Work quickly as primer/cement sets fast.
- Assembly: Insert the 1-1/2″ pipe into the bushing’s socket with a quarter-turn twist for uniform coverage; hold for 30 seconds. The bushing’s spigot (smaller end) then inserts into the next 1-1/4″ socket fitting or pipe.
- Curing and Testing: Allow 15–30 minutes initial set time (longer in cool/humid conditions), and 2–24 hours full cure before pressurizing. Test the joint at 1.5x system pressure after full cure.
Support pipes every 3–4 feet horizontally and use thrust blocks for directional changes. For buried installations, place below the frost line and backfill carefully to avoid damage.
Usage
This reducing bushing is engineered for versatile deployment in sewerage and water supply systems requiring diameter transitions:
- Water Supply: Perfect for cold potable water lines, irrigation, pools, and general plumbing where pressure containment is key. NSF certification guarantees safe contact with drinking water, with smooth walls minimizing turbulence and energy loss in flows up to 280 PSI.
- Sewerage/Drainage: Employed in DWV systems for gravity-fed waste, vent, or storm drainage, connecting larger mains to smaller branches. The Sch 40 thickness offers robustness for underground burial or soil-loaded environments, outperforming lighter schedules in moderate-impact areas.
