Constructed from 304 stainless steel, it offers solid corrosion resistance for use in demanding environments. The bushing features a male NPT (MNPT) inlet and a female NPT (FNPT) outlet, connecting via standard threaded engagement. It carries a pressure rating of 150 psi and meets ISO standards at Schedule 40. Plumbers, pipefitters, and mechanical contractors install this type of fitting to adapt pipe or equipment ports to smaller downstream lines.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis bushing is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing, HVAC condensate and refrigerant piping support lines, compressed air systems, and general fluid handling applications where a reduction from 1\/2-inch to 1\/4-inch NPT thread is required. The 304 stainless steel construction makes it appropriate for mildly corrosive media and wet service environments where carbon steel fittings would be unsuitable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1\/2 inch MNPT x 1\/4 inch FNPT threaded connection for standard pipe reduction\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e304 stainless steel construction for corrosion resistance\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e150 psi pressure rating at Schedule 40\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eISO standard compliant threading\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCompact form factor suitable for tight installation spaces\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement or direct-install threaded bushing for any 1\/2-inch NPT female port requiring a 1\/4-inch NPT male outlet in Schedule 40 piping systems.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation is performed by licensed plumbers or qualified pipefitters following applicable IPC and IFGC guidelines. Shut off system pressure and depressurize the line completely before removing or installing any threaded fitting. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male threads before engagement. Do not overtighten; use a pipe wrench with proper backup to avoid cracking fittings or damaging mating threads.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFitting Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Bushing\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFitting Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/2 x 1\/4 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: 304 Stainless Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEnd Connection\u003c\/strong\u003e: MNPT x FNPT\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConnection Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Threaded\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePressure Rating\u003c\/strong\u003e: 150 psi\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSchedule\u003c\/strong\u003e: 40\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStandards\u003c\/strong\u003e: ISO\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.01 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUNSPSC Code\u003c\/strong\u003e: 40175300\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: MERIT BRASS\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: K414-0804\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"MERIT BRASS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51697993810226,"sku":"K414-0804","price":66.38,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/ecd46fa154b3a860d1b2cf704cf7d375.jpg?v=1788356585","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/merit-brass-k414-0804-pipe-bushing-1-2-x-1-4-in-304-ss","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
