Anderson Metals 756110-1608 Pipe Bushing 1 X 1/2 Inch Brass

Product Description

The ANDERSON METALS 756110-1608 is a hex pipe bushing designed to reduce a 1-inch male NPT connection down to a 1/2-inch female NPT port. Constructed from lead free brass, this bushing carries a maximum working pressure rating of 1,000 psi. The MNPT x FNPT configuration makes it a standard threaded reducer used across plumbing, gas distribution, and fluid handling installations. It is suitable for licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and HVAC technicians working on systems that require a reliable, pressure-rated pipe reduction in a compact brass fitting.

The 756110-1608 is rated for use with potable water, grease, fuels, and LP and natural gas systems. Its lead free brass construction meets requirements for drinking water applications. The fitting is appropriate for both residential and light commercial installations where a threaded pipe reduction is needed between 1-inch and 1/2-inch NPT connections. The hex body allows for standard wrench engagement during installation.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed plumbers or pipefitters. Shut off and depressurize the line before threading this fitting into place. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male threads in accordance with local plumbing and gas codes. Do not over-tighten threaded brass fittings — use the hex body for wrench engagement and avoid using pipe wrenches directly on the body hex flats where possible to prevent deformation.
