I wish there was a PVC threaded reducing bushing...

I have a job with a 1" PVC conduit stubbed out of a concrete wall. I need to run a short piece of 3/4" NMFC from this conduit to a duplex box. There will be one 20A 120V circuit in it. There is no easy way to adapt from the 1 1/4" conduit to 3/4" NMFC. I have to install a coupling, a reducing bushing (1 1/4" to 3/4", then a piece of 3/4" conduit, then a threaded x socket connector, then a 3/4" NMFC adapter to go to the flex. What a pain. If there was a 1" x 3/4" NPT reducing bushing, I could go from five pieces (and a lot of space taken up) to 3 pieces. Am I missing something?

Thanks,
Michael

Why not a 1-1/4" PVC female adapter with a re bushing ?

The reducing bushing is threaded/threaded? If so, I think my lack of experience is showing, as I didn't see this bushing when looking online. All I saw was socket/socket bushings.

That is, unless I was looking in the plumbing section.

OK, I found this. This solves the issue. In my original post, I erroneously stated 1 1/4" a couple of times, but the conduit is 1", so I can use a 1" coupling and then this piece to I have a 3/4" female thread to screw in a NMFC adapter.
