When pool plumbing requires stepping down from a larger line to a smaller threaded connection, the transition must be compact, pressure-rated, and chemically resistant. The American Granby Schedule 40 2” x 3/4” PVC Reducer Bushing (Spigot x FPT) is a professional-grade fitting designed to reduce a 2” PVC fitting hub down to a 3/4” female threaded connection without adding unnecessary length or extra fittings.

This reducer bushing is engineered specifically for pool and spa plumbing systems, where space is tight on equipment pads and threaded accessories—such as pressure gauges, sensors, injectors, or control components—must be connected cleanly and securely.

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 frequently require size reductions to connect accessories or components that use smaller threaded ports. Using the wrong reducer can lead to leaks, cracked fittings, or alignment issues.

The American Granby 2” x 3/4” reducer bushing is used to:

  • Reduce a 2” PVC fitting to a 3/4” threaded connection

  • Connect accessories with 3/4” male threads

  • Save space compared to reducer couplings and adapters

  • Maintain clean, compact equipment pad layouts

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


Spigot x Female Thread Design Explained

This fitting features:

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

  • Female Pipe Thread (FPT) on the reduced end to accept 3/4” male threaded fittings

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

This design is ideal where space is limited and threaded components must be installed cleanly.


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 threaded 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 connection points.


Common Pool & Spa Applications

The American Granby SCH 40 2” x 3/4” PVC Reducer Bushing SP x FPT is commonly used for:

  • Pressure gauge installations

  • Chemical injector and feeder connections

  • Automation sensors and probes

  • Equipment pad accessory plumbing

  • Valves or fittings with 3/4” male threads

Anywhere a 2” PVC fitting must transition down to a 3/4” threaded connection, this reducer bushing is the correct solution.

American Granby fittings are trusted because they provide:

  • Proper spigot dimensions for secure solvent welds

  • Accurate female threads for reliable sealing
