Face bushings thread directly into a female fitting or valve body, converting the internal thread size to accept a smaller male-threaded connection. This fitting is manufactured domestically from brass, making it well-suited for plumbing, HVAC hydronic, and general industrial piping applications. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters use this type of bushing when adapting mismatched thread sizes within a system without replacing existing fittings.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis face bushing is appropriate for residential and light commercial piping systems where a 3\/4 inch female port needs to accept a 1\/2 inch male connection. Typical applications include water supply lines, hydronic heating circuits, compressed air headers, and general-purpose threaded piping assemblies. Its domestic brass construction meets common quality expectations for potable water and mechanical systems.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReduces 3\/4 inch nominal female thread to 1\/2 inch nominal male thread\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBrass construction for corrosion resistance in water and air service\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDomestically manufactured\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFace bushing profile threads flush into the receiving fitting for a compact installation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement or standard-service fitting for 3\/4 inch by 1\/2 inch nominal threaded piping assemblies in plumbing and HVAC hydronic systems.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eInstallation is performed by licensed plumbers or pipefitters in accordance with applicable IPC and local plumbing code requirements. Shut off and depressurize the affected line before threading in the bushing. Apply appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male threads before installation. Do not over-torque brass fittings, as the material is susceptible to cracking under excessive force.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInlet Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\/4 inch nominal\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOutlet Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/2 inch nominal\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: Brass\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFitting Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Face Bushing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOrigin\u003c\/strong\u003e: Domestic\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\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":51524703322418,"sku":"BSFACEBUSH3412-LF","price":20.89,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/205bd1b7b22dae44c14e2b32e97d7c49.jpg?v=1785455813","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/merit-brass-nlbs115-1208-face-bushing-3-4-x-1-2-inch-brass","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
