This bushing features FBSPT x FBSPT end connections, making it a hex bushing style that installs between two threaded fittings or components. Rated Class 125, it is suited for low-pressure plumbing, compressed air, and general fluid service applications. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this type of fitting when reducing pipe sizes within a threaded piping system.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis bushing is used in residential and light commercial plumbing systems, compressed air distribution lines, and general industrial piping where a threaded reduction between 1\/2-inch and 3\/8-inch connections is required. It is appropriate for water, air, and compatible fluid service at Class 125 pressure ratings. The all-brass construction resists corrosion and is compatible with a wide range of pipe materials commonly found in trade installations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eReduces 1\/2-inch to 3\/8-inch threaded connection in a single fitting\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFBSPT x FBSPT end connections for standard threaded pipe assembly\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eClass 125 pressure rating suitable for plumbing and air service\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBrass construction provides corrosion resistance and durability\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCompact bushing form factor for tight installation spaces\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement and standard-fit bushing for threaded piping systems requiring a 1\/2-inch to 3\/8-inch FBSPT x FBSPT 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 pipefitter following applicable IPC or local plumbing code requirements.
