Both ends use female British Standard Pipe Taper (FBSPT) threads, making this a hex bushing style fitting. Rated at Class 125, it is suited for moderate-pressure plumbing, HVAC hydronic, and general piping applications. The brass construction resists corrosion and holds up well in both water and air service. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters are the typical installers for this type of fitting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis bushing is used in residential and light commercial piping systems where a threaded pipe or fitting needs to be stepped down from 1-1\/2 inch to 1 inch. Common install scenarios include boiler supply and return piping, water distribution manifolds, and compressed-air distribution lines where reducing connections are required at valves, gauges, or equipment ports. The FBSPT x FBSPT thread configuration accepts standard tapered male pipe threads on both the inlet and outlet sides.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eReduces 1-1\/2 inch to 1 inch threaded connections\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFBSPT x FBSPT ends accept standard tapered male pipe threads\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eClass 125 pressure rating suitable for general plumbing and hydronic service\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBrass construction provides corrosion resistance in water and air service\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCompact bushing form factor fits directly into existing female-threaded 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 residential and light commercial threaded pipe systems using 1-1\/2 inch to 1 inch FBSPT connections rated at Class 125.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation is performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter. Shut off system pressure and drain the affected line before removing or installing any threaded fitting. Apply thread sealant tape or paste rated for the service fluid to the male threads before assembly. Do not overtighten; use a pipe wrench with a backup wrench on the mating fitting to avoid stress on adjacent piping.\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: 1-1\/2 x 1 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\u003ePressure Class\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: 0.649 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: XB114-2416\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"MERIT BRASS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51541477654834,"sku":"XB114-2416","price":77.57,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/fc526f23d7a4a154b4d523fc56ca6203.jpg?v=1785877247","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/merit-brass-xb114-2416-brass-pipe-bushing-1-5x1-in-class-125","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
