This concentric reducer bushing is used to adapt between two different pipe sizes within a pressurized fluid or gas distribution system. It is rated at Class 125, suitable for moderate-pressure plumbing and piping applications. The fitting is machined from brass and features standard tapered NPT threads on both ends. Plumbers and pipefitters install this bushing when transitioning between supply lines, manifold ports, or equipment inlets where pipe sizing changes within the same run.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis bushing is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing systems, as well as hydronic heating, compressed air distribution, and general fluid handling lines. It installs directly into any 3\/8-inch FNPT port and accepts a 1\/2-inch MNPT fitting, valve, or line on the male end. The compact hex-body design allows installation in tight spaces with a standard pipe wrench or adjustable wrench. It is packaged as a single unit with a minimum order quantity of 6 pieces.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eReduces 1\/2-inch MNPT to 3\/8-inch FNPT in a single fitting\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eClass 125 pressure rating for moderate-pressure piping service\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eThreaded NPT connections on both ends for a standard, leak-resistant seal with pipe thread sealant or tape\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBrass construction provides corrosion resistance in water and air service\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCompact bushing profile fits tight valve bodies and equipment ports\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 any 1\/2-inch MNPT to 3\/8-inch FNPT threaded pipe connection in Class 125-rated plumbing, hydronic, or compressed air systems.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation is performed by licensed plumbers or qualified pipefitters in accordance with applicable IPC and local plumbing code requirements.
