Compact, reliable size transitions are critical on pool equipment pads where space is limited and threaded accessories must be installed securely. The American Granby Schedule 40 2” x 1” PVC Reducer Bushing (Spigot x FPT) is a professional-grade fitting designed to reduce a 2” PVC fitting hub down to a 1” female threaded connection without adding unnecessary length or extra joints.

This reducer bushing is engineered specifically for pool and spa plumbing systems, where accurate thread engagement, pressure reliability, and chemical resistance are required. It allows pool professionals to connect 1” male-threaded components directly into 2” plumbing layouts in a clean, space-efficient manner.

This is not a general plumbing reducer—it is purpose-built for pool circulation and accessory plumbing.


Why Reducer Bushings Are Used in Pool Plumbing

Pool systems often require stepping down from larger circulation plumbing to smaller threaded accessories. Using oversized adapters or multiple fittings increases leak points and wastes valuable space.

The American Granby 2” x 1” reducer bushing is used to:

  • Reduce a 2” PVC fitting to a 1” threaded connection

  • Connect 1” male-threaded valves, sensors, or accessories

  • Save space on tight equipment pads

  • Eliminate unnecessary couplings and adapters

Reducer bushings provide a clean, direct transition inside an existing fitting hub.


Spigot x Female Thread Design Explained

This fitting features:

  • Spigot (SP) end designed to glue directly inside a 2” Schedule 40 PVC fitting hub

  • Female Pipe Thread (FPT) on the reduced end to accept 1” male-threaded fittings

The spigot end replaces pipe inside the fitting, while the threaded end allows removable, serviceable connections.

This design is ideal when installing threaded components without increasing plumbing length.


Schedule 40 PVC Built for Pool & Spa Systems

Manufactured from rigid Schedule 40 PVC, this reducer bushing is pressure-rated for residential and light commercial pool systems. It is fully compatible with standard Schedule 40 PVC fittings and common pool accessories.

The material resists:

  • Chlorinated and chemically treated water

  • Temperature fluctuations

  • Cracking and deformation under pressure

  • Long-term outdoor and underground exposure

This ensures dependable performance at critical transition points.


Common Pool & Spa Applications

The American Granby SCH 40 2” x 1” PVC Reducer Bushing SP x FPT is commonly used for:

  • Automation sensors and probes

  • Valves and control components

  • Chemical feed and injection lines

  • Equipment pad accessory connections

  • Plumbing upgrades and retrofits

Anywhere a 2” PVC fitting must transition down to a 1” threaded connection, this reducer bushing is the correct solution.


Trusted by Pool Service Professionals

Threaded reductions are common leak points when inferior bushings are used. Pool professionals rely on American Granby reducer bushings for consistent spigot sizing and clean, accurate threads.

American Granby fittings are trusted because they provide:

  • Proper spigot dimensions for secure solvent welds

  • Accurate female threads for reliable sealing

  • Proven durability in real-world pool environments

This reducer bushing is a standard component in professional pool plumbing installations.
