The pressure rating of PVC pipe and fittings reduces with increasing temperature. To calculate the actual pressure rating of the product at each temperature, the noted pressure rating must be multiplied by the 'de-rating multiple', as explained on our PVC category page.
The temperature derating table of this fitting is as follows:
PVC pipe has a recommended operating temperature of 0 - 60° centigrade (32 - 140°F).
This 1/2" x 3/8" plain reducing bush is compatible with 1/2" PVC socket fittings and 3/8" PVC pressure pipe and spigot fittings. It is not compatible with metric PVC pressure pipes or fittings. 1/2" pipe actually has an outside diameter of 21.4mm and 3/8" pipe actually has an outside diameter of 17.1mm.
The 1/2" (measuring 21.4mm) outer diameter of this reducing bush will slot inside the socket end of a 1/2" fitting. 3/8" pipe or spigot fittings (measuring 17.1mm outer diameter) will slot inside the 3/8" socket end of this reducing bush.
