Forged construction gives this bushing greater structural integrity than cast alternatives, making it a reliable choice for threaded piping assemblies in demanding trade applications. The hex body allows for secure wrench engagement during installation and removal. Plumbers, pipefitters, and mechanical contractors typically install this fitting as part of threaded iron or steel piping systems where a reducing transition between pipe sizes is required.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis bushing is suited for use in residential and commercial plumbing, HVAC hydronic piping, gas distribution, and general mechanical systems where a threaded reduction from 1 inch to 3\/4 inch is needed. It is compatible with standard NPT threaded pipe and fittings. The forged steel construction makes it appropriate for moderate-pressure and moderate-temperature applications typical of interior piping systems.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eForged steel construction for increased strength over cast alternatives\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHex body design allows full wrench engagement for proper torque application\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eThreaded configuration: 1-inch female NPT x 3\/4-inch male NPT\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCompact bushing form factor reduces pipe size without additional couplings\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eLightweight at 0.21 pounds per unit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style threaded fitting for use with standard NPT iron and steel pipe systems requiring a 1-inch to 3\/4-inch reduction.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation is performed by licensed plumbers or pipefitters working on threaded pipe systems. Shut off and depressurize the relevant piping system before beginning work. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male threads prior to assembly, and tighten using a pipe wrench engaged on the hex body. Follow applicable local plumbing codes and IFGC requirements for gas line applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: Forged Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConnection Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Threaded (NPT)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInlet Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1 inch (female)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOutlet Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\/4 inch (male)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.21 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUPC\u003c\/strong\u003e: 082647099708\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: MATCO-NORCA\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: mn-ftbu0504\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"MATCO-NORCA","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51619580346674,"sku":"MN-FTBU0504","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/matco-norca-mn-ftbu0504-forged-steel-hex-bushing","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
