It serves as a direct threaded adapter in pressurized piping systems, allowing a larger-threaded supply line or fitting to mate with a smaller-threaded component without additional adapters. Rated to 1,000 psi maximum working pressure, this bushing is built for demanding service environments. Lead-free brass construction meets potable water compliance requirements, making it suitable across a broad range of fluid and gas applications. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters are the primary installers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis bushing is appropriate for residential and light commercial piping installations where a 1\/2-inch male NPT fitting must transition to a 3\/8-inch female NPT port. Approved media include potable water, grease, fuels, LP gas, and natural gas, giving this fitting utility across plumbing, fuel gas, and mechanical service work. Its compact size and standard hex body allow installation in tight spaces with a standard pipe wrench or open-end wrench.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eLead-free brass construction — compliant for potable water service\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1,000 psi maximum working pressure rating\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMNPT x FNPT connection type for direct threaded installation — no solder or press tools required\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCompatible with potable water, grease, fuels, LP gas, and natural gas\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCompact hex body fits standard pipe wrenches and open-end wrenches\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 1\/2-14 MNPT to 3\/8-18 FNPT threaded reduction.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation is performed by licensed plumbers or pipefitters in accordance with applicable IPC or IFGC requirements for the media being conveyed. Shut off the supply line and relieve system pressure completely before removing or installing any threaded fitting. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male threads before assembly — do not over-apply sealant into the bore where it could contaminate the line. Hand-tighten first, then use a wrench for final engagement; avoid over-torquing, which can crack brass fittings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMale Thread Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/2-14 MNPT\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFemale Thread Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\/8-18 FNPT\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConnection Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: MNPT x FNPT\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum Working Pressure\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1,000 psi\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: Lead Free Brass\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: 0.05 pounds\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: 736140-0806\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"ANDERSON METALS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51723356274994,"sku":"736140-0806","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/c841d728bb9b039595ac18df65cdcd21_563e6f7b-9aae-489a-8f9a-53a959a402d0.jpg?v=1788603809","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/anderson-metals-736140-0806-pipe-bushing-mnpt-x-fnpt","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
