It is used to transition between two different pipe sizes within a threaded piping system without the need for additional fittings. Rated at 125 psi and meeting Class 125 requirements, this bushing is suited for low- to medium-pressure plumbing, HVAC, and general fluid-handling applications. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this type of fitting as part of new construction, retrofit, or repair work on threaded pipe assemblies.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis bushing fits into residential and light commercial piping systems where a threaded size reduction is required. Common scenarios include connecting a 3\/4-inch supply line to a 1\/2-inch valve, fixture, or equipment port. The MNPT x FNPT end configuration allows it to thread directly into standard NPT fittings and equipment ports without adapters. Its lead-free construction makes it appropriate for potable water service where local codes mandate lead-free materials.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eLead-free brass construction suitable for potable water applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e3\/4-inch MNPT x 1\/2-inch FNPT end connections for direct size reduction\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eClass 125 pressure rating at 125 psi\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eStandard NPT thread form for compatibility with common threaded pipe systems\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCompact form factor — packaged dimensions of 1 x 1 x 1 inch, weight 0.05 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement or new-install fitting for standard NPT threaded pipe systems requiring a 3\/4-inch male to 1\/2-inch female bushing reduction in Class 125 service.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation is performed by a licensed plumber or qualified pipefitter. Shut off the water supply and depressurize the line before installing or removing any threaded fittings. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male threads before assembly; do not over-tighten, as brass threads can be damaged by excess torque. Verify that the installation meets applicable local plumbing codes, including lead-free requirements under the Safe Drinking Water Act where potable water service is involved.\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: 3\/4 x 1\/2 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\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\u003ePackage Dimensions\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1 x 1 x 1 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.05 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: NLBS115-1208\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"MERIT BRASS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51542970368306,"sku":"NLBS115-1208","price":19.57,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/6b10b2752d81d7bdc30767e042030e06_697dc589-125f-42cf-bd1e-98097c1aa58f.jpg?v=1785912654","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/merit-brass-nlbs115-1208-brass-pipe-bushing-3-4x1-2-mnpt-fnpt","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
