Anderson Metals Corp 756110-1208 Brass Hex Bushing

Product Description

The ANDERSON METALS CORP 756110-1208 is a lead-free brass hex bushing used to reduce pipe thread connections from a larger female port to a smaller male fitting. It measures 3/4 inch female NPT to 1/2 inch male NPT and is machined from brass for reliable sealing in threaded piping systems. This bushing is compliant with Public Law 111-380, meeting lead-free standards required for potable water applications. Plumbers and pipefitters install this fitting during new construction, retrofit, and repair work on water distribution and light commercial plumbing systems.

This hex bushing is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing applications where a threaded pipe or fitting must be reduced from 3/4 inch to 1/2 inch. The hex profile allows a wrench to seat the fitting securely without slipping. It is commonly used at fixture supply connections, valve installations, and branch line reductions in copper, CPVC, or iron pipe systems using threaded adapters.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed plumbers following applicable local plumbing codes and IPC guidelines.

Do not overtighten, as brass fittings can crack under excessive torque.
