It is manufactured from brass with a rough finish and rated to 125 lb pressure class. This bushing is a standard threaded reducer fitting found in plumbing, HVAC, gas, and compressed-air piping systems. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this fitting when transitioning between pipe sizes at equipment connections, manifolds, valves, or instrumentation ports.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis bushing is suited for residential and light commercial applications where a compact, hex-body reducer is needed at a threaded connection point. Typical uses include connecting smaller-diameter gauges, sensors, valves, or supply lines to larger-diameter threaded ports on boilers, water heaters, compressors, and distribution manifolds. The hex body allows standard wrench engagement for controlled makeup without pipe-strap tooling.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1\/2-inch MNPT to 1\/4-inch FNPT reducer configuration for common pipe size transitions\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHex head body provides flat wrench surfaces for proper torque during makeup\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBrass construction offers corrosion resistance in water, gas, and air service\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e125 lb pressure class rating suitable for standard service pressures\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRough finish on brass stock — thread engagement surface is machined to NPT standard\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCompact bushing profile fits tight spaces at valve bodies and equipment ports\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a standard NPT threaded reducer bushing for use in 1\/2-inch female NPT ports requiring a 1\/4-inch female NPT connection, compatible with any piping system that accepts 125 lb brass threaded fittings per ASME B16.15 or equivalent standards.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation is performed by licensed plumbers or pipefitters using a wrench on the hex flats. Shut off and depressurize the system before making or breaking any threaded connection. Apply thread sealant tape or pipe dope rated for the service medium to the male NPT threads before makeup. Do not overtighten brass fittings; over-torquing can crack the hex body or distort the threads.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNominal Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/2 x 1\/4 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEnd Style\u003c\/strong\u003e: MNPT x FNPT\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePressure Rating\u003c\/strong\u003e: 125 lb\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: Brass\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish\u003c\/strong\u003e: Rough\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOrigin\u003c\/strong\u003e: Import\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: XNL114-0804\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"MERIT BRASS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51524537516338,"sku":"BUSH1214LF","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/b8787ce69603ceaa66c524dcc5cd48ac_cd4432ef-ab78-408f-8923-1b2908e1d9d6.jpg?v=1785451208","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/merit-brass-xnl114-0804-hex-head-pipe-bushing-1-2x1-4-brass","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
