It features a 1-1\/4 inch male end and a 3\/4 inch female end, allowing connection between two different pipe diameters without additional fittings. The hex body provides a flat wrench surface for secure installation and removal. This domestically produced fitting is commonly used by licensed plumbers and pipefitters working on gas, water, or general mechanical piping installations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis hex bushing is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing and mechanical systems where a threaded pipe reduction is needed in-line. It is installed wherever a larger-diameter pipe or fitting must step down to a smaller threaded connection, including branch takeoffs, valve inlets, and equipment connections. Its black coating makes it appropriate for gas piping applications in accordance with applicable codes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1-1\/4 inch male to 3\/4 inch female threaded reduction\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHex body design provides secure wrench grip during installation\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBlack coating suitable for gas piping applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eDomestically manufactured fitting\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eLightweight at 0.39 pounds per unit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style threaded hex bushing for use in standard NPT threaded piping systems requiring a 1-1\/4 inch to 3\/4 inch pipe size reduction.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter.
