Sized at 1-1\/4 x 3\/4 inch nominal, it features a male NPT (MNPT) outer thread and a female NPT (FNPT) inner thread. Rated at 125 lb, this bushing is manufactured domestically and carries the corrosion protection of a galvanized finish. Plumbers and pipefitters install this fitting when transitioning between pipe sizes in threaded iron or steel piping systems.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis bushing is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing, gas distribution, and hydronic heating applications where a threaded size reduction is required at a tee, valve, or fitting port. The hex head profile provides secure wrench engagement during installation and removal, reducing the risk of slippage on the fitting body. It is appropriate for use in dry, wet, and low-pressure gas piping systems within the pressure limits of a 125 lb rated cast iron fitting.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1-1\/4 x 3\/4 inch nominal size reduction in a single fitting\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMNPT outer thread x FNPT inner thread configuration\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e125 lb pressure class cast iron construction\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGalvanized finish for corrosion resistance in exposed or damp environments\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHex head profile for positive wrench engagement\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDomestically manufactured\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for 125 lb rated threaded cast iron piping systems using standard NPT connections.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eInstallation is performed by licensed plumbers or pipefitters following applicable codes such as the IPC or IFGC. Shut off and depressurize the piping system fully before threading or unthreading any fitting. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male threads before installation. Do not over-tighten; use a pipe wrench on the hex head only and follow standard NPT engagement practice for cast iron fittings.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNominal Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1-1\/4 x 3\/4 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEnd Style\u003c\/strong\u003e: MNPT x FNPT\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePressure Rating\u003c\/strong\u003e: 125 lb\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: Cast Iron\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish\u003c\/strong\u003e: Galvanized\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHead Style\u003c\/strong\u003e: Hex Head\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCountry of Origin\u003c\/strong\u003e: Domestic\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: ASC Engineered Solutions\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1BXE.NB\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"ASC ENGINEERED SOLUTIONS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51525322309938,"sku":"GALBUSH11434","price":20.89,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/faceb73af3b6981b6c671b1e4679baae_b1f863df-b66c-4982-9bef-24c4f058fb82.jpg?v=1785470539","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/asc-engineered-solutions-1bxe-nb-hex-head-pipe-bushing-1-1-4x3-4","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
