It is a Class 125 fitting rated for 125 psi service pressure. This type of bushing is a standard component in threaded pipe assemblies across plumbing, HVAC, and compressed-air systems. Plumbers and pipefitters install it wherever a reduction between two threaded ports is needed without adding pipe length. The all-brass construction resists corrosion and meets lead-free requirements for potable water applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis bushing fits into residential and light commercial piping systems that use standard NPT threaded connections. Common install scenarios include connecting a 1\/8-inch NPT instrument port or valve body to a 1\/4-inch NPT supply line, reducing manifold ports, or adapting gauges and sensors in HVAC and plumbing distribution systems. Its compact form factor makes it suitable for tight spaces where a hex bushing or coupling would not fit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eLead-free brass construction — compliant for potable water service\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1\/4-inch MNPT x 1\/8-inch FNPT threaded reduction\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eClass 125 rated at 125 psi working pressure\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eStandard NPT threads for compatibility with common threaded pipe fittings\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCorrosion-resistant brass material suited for water, air, and light oil service\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for standard NPT threaded pipe assemblies in plumbing, HVAC, and light industrial systems requiring a 1\/4-inch to 1\/8-inch threaded reduction.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation is performed by licensed plumbers or pipefitters following IPC and applicable local plumbing codes. Shut off and depressurize the supply line before removing or installing any threaded fitting. Apply thread sealant tape or pipe dope rated for the service fluid to the male threads before assembly. Do not overtighten — use a properly sized pipe wrench and stop when the joint is snug and leak-free.\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\/4 x 1\/8 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEnd Connections\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: 125 psi\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eClass\u003c\/strong\u003e: 125\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLead Free\u003c\/strong\u003e: Yes\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: Brass\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.01 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePackage Dimensions\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2 x 2 x 2 inches\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: NLBS115-0402\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"MERIT BRASS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51538423447858,"sku":"NLBS115-0402","price":17.44,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/6b10b2752d81d7bdc30767e042030e06.jpg?v=1785824629","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/merit-brass-nlbs115-0402-brass-pipe-bushing-1-4x1-8","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
