Pipe Bushings

Pipe Bushings

Pipes come in a range of sizes, and they don't always line up on their own. A pipe bushing solves that by sizing down a larger opening to fit a smaller pipe, keeping the connection sealed and the system running. Tractor Supply stocks these plumbing products for water lines, gas runs and farm and home repairs.

Where Pipe Sizes Come Together

At its core, a pipe bushing is a compact fitting used to reduce one pipe size to another. It fits inside or around a larger fitting, with threading or a slip socket inside to secure the smaller pipe and an exterior sized to fit the larger connection. Our selection includes standard size pairs ranging from 3/4 in. x 3/8 in. to 2 in. x 1 in. These fittings are essential in our pipe fittings lineup, as step-down connections are common in nearly any pipe repair or installation. Using the right bushing helps minimize wasted materials and eliminates the need for extra fittings when a straightforward reduction is required.

PVC Options for Interior and Irrigation Runs

A lot of residential and irrigation work requires polyvinyl chloride (PVC) pipe, and PVC bushings are built to match. Slip-style types press into a fitting socket without threading, while threaded versions screw in for a fit you can dial in more precisely. PVC doesn't rust the way metal does, so water lines that run year-round stay cleaner longer. Both styles are suited for low-pressure water applications.

Metal Builds for Demanding Conditions

Some jobs have no room for a fitting that corrodes or loses pressure over time. Galvanized bushings resist rust in exposed galvanized pipe connections, including outdoor spigots and barn water lines that are regularly moist. Black iron is the standard material for gas line bushings, pressure-rated for those systems and not interchangeable with other types. Metal bushings are built For Life Out Here, where conditions are harder on equipment and faster to expose weak connections.
