The hex profile provides a flat-to-flat gripping surface for standard pipe wrenches or adjustable wrenches, making installation straightforward in tight spaces. Constructed from forged steel, this bushing delivers the wall thickness and thread integrity required for pressurized piping systems. Plumbers and pipefitters use this fitting when adapting between 1-1\/4 inch female and 1 inch male threaded connections in both commercial and residential applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis hex bushing is suited for use in piping assemblies where a reduction between a 1-1\/4 inch fitting or valve and a 1 inch threaded pipe or fitting is required. Typical applications include water supply lines, heating system piping, compressed air distribution, and general industrial pipe assemblies where forged steel is specified for durability and pressure integrity. It is installed inline wherever a threaded reducing connection is needed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eForged steel construction for high-strength, pressure-rated service\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHex profile allows wrench engagement for positive make-up torque\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1-1\/4 inch female NPT inlet x 1 inch male NPT outlet reducing configuration\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eThreaded on both ends for direct pipe-to-fitting assembly\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCompact bushing form factor eliminates need for a reducing coupling in many applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation forged steel hex bushing for standard NPT threaded piping systems requiring a 1-1\/4 inch to 1 inch reduction.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable plumbing codes, including the IPC and IFGC where relevant. Shut off and depressurize the piping system completely before disassembly or fitting installation. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male threads before make-up. Do not over-tighten; excessive force can crack fittings or damage mating threads.\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\u003eInlet Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1-1\/4 inches female NPT\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOutlet Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1 inch male NPT\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFitting Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Threaded Hex Bushing\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.41 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUPC\u003c\/strong\u003e: 082647099722\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-ftbu0605\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"MATCO-NORCA","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51672240128306,"sku":"MN-FTBU0605","price":15.13,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/matco-norca-mn-ftbu0605-forged-steel-hex-bushing-1-1-4x1","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
