It features a male NPT (MNPT) outer thread and a female NPT (FNPT) inner thread, allowing installers to step down pipe sizing within a threaded assembly without additional fittings. Rated at 125 lb, this bushing is machined from brass and carries a rough finish. It is suited for plumbing, HVAC, and light industrial piping applications where a compact, in-line reducer is needed at a threaded joint.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis bushing fits standard NPT-threaded piping systems and is commonly used in residential and light commercial installations. Typical applications include connecting a smaller-diameter supply or branch line to a larger-diameter threaded fitting, valve, or manifold. The brass construction makes it appropriate for water, air, and compatible fluid service lines where corrosion resistance and reliable thread engagement are required.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1-1\/4 inch x 3\/4 inch nominal size for stepping down pipe thread diameter\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMNPT outer thread x FNPT inner thread configuration\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e125 lb pressure rating for standard service applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBrass construction provides corrosion resistance in water and air service\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHex head design allows wrench engagement for proper torque during installation\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRough finish — no plating or coating applied\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 NPT-threaded piping systems in plumbing and HVAC applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis fitting is installed by licensed plumbers or HVAC technicians working on threaded piping systems. Shut off and depressurize the supply line before installation. Apply thread sealant tape or pipe dope to the male threads before assembly, and use a wrench on the hex head to achieve a secure, leak-free connection. Work must comply with applicable local plumbing codes and standards such as the International Plumbing Code (IPC).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNominal Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1-1\/4 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\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: XNL114-2012\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"MERIT BRASS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51525375525170,"sku":"BUSH11434LF","price":21.96,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/b8787ce69603ceaa66c524dcc5cd48ac_91beee1c-8a3f-4eea-8cac-adc208d63089.jpg?v=1785472089","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/merit-brass-xnl114-2012-hex-head-pipe-bushing-1-1-4x3-4-in","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
