It transitions from a 1\/2-inch FBSPT connection to a 1\/8-inch FBSPT connection using standard tapered female threads on both ends. Rated at Class 125, this fitting is suited for low- to moderate-pressure applications in plumbing, HVAC, and light industrial systems. The all-brass construction provides corrosion resistance and reliable sealing when assembled with appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape. Licensed plumbers and HVAC technicians are the typical installers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis reducing coupling is used in residential and commercial piping runs where a branch line or instrument port requires a step-down from 1\/2-inch to 1\/8-inch pipe thread. Common applications include connecting pressure gauges, sensors, or smaller-diameter branch lines to a main pipe run. The FBSPT x FBSPT configuration means both ends accept male-threaded fittings or pipe, making this a straightforward in-line reducer for threaded pipe assemblies. It is packaged and sold individually.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eReduces from 1\/2-inch FBSPT to 1\/8-inch FBSPT in a single inline fitting\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFemale BSP tapered threads on both ends for secure, leak-resistant connections\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eClass 125 pressure rating suitable for low- to moderate-pressure piping systems\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBrass construction resists corrosion in water, air, and many fluid service applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCompact, lightweight design at 0.15 pounds\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 threaded brass pipe systems using standard BSP tapered thread connections in Class 125-rated piping assemblies.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation should be performed by a licensed plumber or qualified HVAC technician in accordance with applicable local plumbing codes and IPC guidelines. Shut off and depressurize the system completely before removing or installing any threaded fittings. Apply PTFE tape or an approved pipe thread sealant to the male threads before assembly to ensure a leak-free joint. Do not overtighten, as brass fittings can be damaged by excessive torque.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFitting Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Reducing Coupling\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFitting Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/2 x 1\/8 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEnd Connections\u003c\/strong\u003e: FBSPT x FBSPT\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConnection Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Threaded\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eClass\u003c\/strong\u003e: 125\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: 0.15 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: XB112-0802\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"MERIT BRASS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51544182325554,"sku":"XB112-0802","price":21.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/1b97ad9ff9ae19e3ba95ffa2d7623a41.jpg?v=1785925363","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/merit-brass-xb112-0802-brass-reducing-coupling-1-2x1-8","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
