Rated at 125 lb, this bushing is constructed from rough brass, providing reliable corrosion resistance in a wide range of fluid and gas piping applications. The hex head profile allows standard wrench engagement for secure, leak-free installation. Plumbers and pipefitters install this type of bushing when a system requires an inline reduction between two threaded connections without additional couplings or fittings in the line.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis bushing is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing, hydronic heating, compressed air, and similar piping systems where threaded brass fittings are standard. The MNPT x FNPT configuration threads directly into a female-threaded port while accepting a male-threaded pipe or fitting on the interior, making it a straightforward inline reducer. It is appropriate for use in low-pressure water, air, and gas service within the 125 lb pressure class rating.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHex head design allows secure wrench engagement during installation and removal\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eReduces 1-inch MNPT to 3\/4-inch FNPT in a single inline fitting\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e125 lb pressure class rating suitable for standard plumbing and piping service\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBrass construction resists corrosion in water, air, and mild gas service\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRough finish is compatible with standard pipe thread sealants and PTFE tape\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation brass hex head pipe bushing for threaded piping systems using 1-inch MNPT to 3\/4-inch FNPT connections rated at 125 lb.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation is performed by licensed plumbers or qualified pipefitters following applicable IPC or local plumbing code requirements. Shut off and depressurize the piping system fully before removing or installing any threaded fitting. Apply an appropriate pipe thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male threads before threading the bushing into the female port. Do not over-tighten; use the hex head flats for controlled wrench engagement to avoid cracking the fitting body.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNominal Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1 x 3\/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\u003eHead Style\u003c\/strong\u003e: Hex\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: XNL114-1612\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"MERIT BRASS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51524748312882,"sku":"BUSH134LF","price":15.47,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/b8787ce69603ceaa66c524dcc5cd48ac_369ae4cb-ba86-447b-b71e-34e30ab32b68.jpg?v=1785456872","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/merit-brass-xnl114-1612-hex-head-pipe-bushing-1x3-4in","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
