Question 1

What is the Atlas UPVC Reducer Bush and what does it do?

Accepted Answer

The Atlas UPVC Reducer Bush is a connector used to reduce the size of a PVC pipe, enabling a transition from a larger diameter to a smaller diameter (for example, 75mm to 50mm). It’s designed to join two uPVC pipes and ensure a secure, leak-free connection within plumbing systems.

Question 2

What sizes does this reducer bush support, and what makes the 75mm x 50mm version special?

Accepted Answer

This reducer bush family covers various size pairings across the range from 20mm up to 110mm. The 75mm x 50mm version specifically reduces a 75mm pipe to 50mm, making it suitable for projects where a larger main run needs to feed a smaller branch or fixture.

Question 3

How do I install the 75mm x 50mm Atlas UPVC reducer bush?

Accepted Answer

Steps: cut the pipes square and clean the ends, dry-fit to confirm alignment, apply appropriate uPVC primer and solvent cement, insert the reducer bush fully and twist slightly to seat, ensure the larger end faces the larger pipe, and allow the joint to cure before testing for leaks.

Question 4

What material is it made from and is it durable for long-term use?

Accepted Answer

The reducer bush is made from durable uPVC, which provides good chemical resistance and longevity in standard plumbing environments.

Question 5

What are common applications for this reducer bush?

Accepted Answer

It’s used to connect two uPVC pipes of different sizes, enabling a transition within a piping network. It can also help connect pipes that change diameter or align at varying angles, though additional fittings may be needed for non-straight connections.

Question 6

Are there any special considerations when connecting pipes at different angles with this reducer bush?

Accepted Answer

Yes. While the reducer bush can be used to join pipes at different angles, ensure proper alignment and consider additional fittings or elbows if needed to achieve a secure, leak-free connection and proper flow path from the larger to the smaller section.

Question 7

How can I prevent leaks when using this reducer bush?

Accepted Answer

Ensure surfaces are clean and dry, use the correct uPVC primer and solvent cement, seat the joint fully by pushing the bush in until it’s flush with the pipe, and verify the connection after curing by running water at a low pressure test.
