Description
This premium PVCu reducing bush is a plain metric fitting designed to connect pipes of different diameters securely and efficiently. Manufactured from lightweight, corrosion-resistant unplasticised PVC, it offers a reliable solution for creating reductions in pipework while maintaining a strong, leak-tight joint.
Ideal for use in chemical handling systems, water treatment, industrial processing and general plumbing applications, this reducing bush provides excellent chemical resistance and long-term durability. Available in a wide range of metric sizes, it allows you to adapt your pipeline with precision and consistency across multiple installations.
Product Features
- Plain metric reducing bush for joining pipes of different diameters in rigid PVCu systems.
- Available in multiple size combinations, including 20 x 16mm, 25 x 16mm, 25 x 20mm, 32 x 20mm and 32 x 25mm, plus many more options.
- Manufactured from high-quality PVCu (unplasticised PVC) for strength and durability.
- Lightweight construction for easy handling and installation, even in tight spaces or overhead runs.
- Chemical and corrosion resistance suitable for water, many chemicals and process fluids.
- Plain socket design for solvent cement installation into compatible PVCu fittings or pipework.
- Supplied in convenient pack quantities, such as packs of 19, 25 or 29, ideal for maintenance teams and installers.
Key Features and Benefits
- Reliable reductions in pipe size: Enables neat, secure transitions between different pipe diameters, maintaining system integrity and flow control.
- Long service life: PVCu material offers excellent resistance to corrosion, scaling and impact, reducing the need for frequent replacement.
- Fast, straightforward installation: Plain ends are designed for solvent welding, allowing quick, clean joints with minimal tools or specialist equipment.
- Chemical resistance: Suitable for many chemical and industrial process lines, helping to safeguard systems against material degradation.
- Cost-effective in bulk: Multi-pack quantities support project work and routine maintenance, helping to minimise downtime and on-site shortages.
- Consistent metric sizing: Standardised metric dimensions ensure compatibility with commonly used PVCu pipe and fittings in commercial and industrial systems.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I install this PVCu reducing bush into my existing pipework?
The reducing bush is designed for solvent weld installation. Ensure the pipe and fitting surfaces are clean and dry, apply a suitable PVCu cleaner and solvent cement according to the manufacturer’s instructions, then insert the bush fully into the mating fitting or pipe and allow the joint to cure before pressurising the system.
Is this reducing bush suitable for use with hot water or high temperatures?
Standard PVCu fittings are generally intended for cold or mildly elevated temperature applications and are not recommended for continuous use at high temperatures. Always check the operating temperature and pressure limits of your PVCu system and confirm they are suitable for your specific hot water or process conditions.
Can this fitting be used with any type of pipe?
This reducing bush is designed specifically for use with compatible metric PVCu pipe and fittings. It should not be used with metal, polyethylene or other plastic pipe systems unless suitable transition fittings are used and compatibility is confirmed.
