The fitting features MBSPT x FBSPT end connections, allowing it to serve as a hex bushing-style reducer in threaded pipe assemblies. At 0.0906 pounds, it is a compact, lightweight fitting suited for low-to-medium pressure plumbing and fluid-handling applications. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters rely on this type of bushing when adapting between dissimilar pipe thread sizes within a system, eliminating the need for additional reducing couplings or fittings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis bushing is commonly used in residential and light commercial plumbing, HVAC condensate and refrigerant line assemblies, compressed air distribution, and general fluid-handling piping. It is appropriate wherever a threaded line must transition from a 1\/2-inch connection down to a 1\/4-inch port, such as at gauge taps, instrument connections, or equipment inlets. Its brass construction provides corrosion resistance suitable for water, air, and many common process fluids.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eReduces 1\/2-inch MBSPT to 1\/4-inch FBSPT in a single threaded fitting\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eClass 125 pressure rating suitable for standard plumbing and fluid-handling service\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBrass construction offers corrosion resistance for water, air, and compatible fluids\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eThreaded end connections for tool-assisted, leak-resistant assembly\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCompact, lightweight at 0.0906 pounds — minimal added weight to the assembly\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eUNSPSC Code 40175300 for procurement system compatibility\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 Class 125 threaded brass pipe systems requiring a 1\/2-inch to 1\/4-inch bushing reduction.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation is performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter following applicable IPC and local plumbing code requirements. Shut off and depressurize the line completely before removing or installing any threaded fitting. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male threads before assembly, and tighten with a pipe wrench to the point of firm, leak-free engagement — do not overtighten brass fittings, as the material is susceptible to thread damage under excessive torque. Pressure-test the assembly before returning the system to service.\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\/2 x 1\/4 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEnd Connections\u003c\/strong\u003e: MBSPT 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: 0.0906 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: XB114-0804\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"MERIT BRASS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51543379542322,"sku":"XB114-0804","price":22.16,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/c1f23311a81370dacbe04ecf820fd1b7.jpg?v=1785917513","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/merit-brass-xb114-0804-brass-pipe-bushing-1-2-x-1-4-in","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
