It serves as a threaded adapter in piping systems where a larger male port must be reduced to accept a smaller female connection. Rated to 1000 psi maximum working pressure, this bushing is built for demanding service environments. Plumbers, HVAC technicians, and gas fitters install this fitting in both residential and light commercial applications where a compact, corrosion-resistant threaded reduction is required.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis bushing is suited for use in potable water, grease, fuel, LP gas, and natural gas systems. Its MNPT x FNPT configuration threads directly into a standard female NPT port, with the smaller female opening accepting downstream piping or equipment connections. The lead-free brass construction makes it appropriate for potable water installations where lead-free compliance is required under applicable plumbing codes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eLead-free brass construction meets lead-free compliance requirements for potable water service\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1000 psi maximum working pressure rating supports high-demand piping applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e3\/8-18 MNPT x 1\/4-18 FNPT configuration provides a standard threaded pipe reduction\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCompatible with potable water, grease, fuels, LP gas, and natural gas media\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCompact bushing form factor fits directly into existing female NPT ports without additional fittings\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for use with potable water, grease, fuels, LP gas, and natural gas piping systems requiring a 3\/8-18 MNPT to 1\/4-18 FNPT threaded reduction in standard NPT pipe configurations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation is performed by a licensed plumber or gas fitter depending on the service application. Shut off and depressurize the system fully before removing or installing any threaded fittings. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male threads per the applicable code requirements, such as the IPC or IFGC. Do not over-tighten brass fittings, as excess torque can crack the fitting body.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFitting Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Bushing\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMale Thread Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\/8-18\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFemale Thread Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/4-18\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConnection Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: MNPT x FNPT\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: Lead Free Brass\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum Working Pressure\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1000 psi\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLead Free\u003c\/strong\u003e: Yes\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFor Use With\u003c\/strong\u003e: Potable Water, Grease, Fuels, LP Gas, Natural Gas\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.03 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePackage Quantity\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: ANDERSON METALS\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 736140-0604\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"ANDERSON METALS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51699529056562,"sku":"736140-0604","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/c841d728bb9b039595ac18df65cdcd21.jpg?v=1788376997","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/anderson-metals-736140-0604-pipe-bushing-3-8-x-1-4-brass","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
