Rated at 125 lb, this bushing is manufactured from brass with a rough finish. It is used to transition between two different pipe sizes within a threaded piping system. Plumbers and pipefitters install this type of fitting in water supply, gas, and general fluid service applications where a concentric threaded reduction is required in a compact, single-fitting form factor.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis bushing fits residential and light commercial plumbing and mechanical systems where 1-1\/2 inch NPT pipe must connect to 1-1\/4 inch NPT components or pipe runs. Typical applications include connections at valves, manifolds, pumps, and other threaded equipment where pipe sizes differ. The hex head design allows for installation and removal using standard pipe wrenches or an open-end wrench, making it practical in tight spaces.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHex head design provides wrench flats for easy installation and removal\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMNPT x FNPT configuration enables concentric threaded pipe size reduction\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1-1\/2 inch to 1-1\/4 inch nominal size transition in a single fitting\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e125 lb pressure rating suitable for general plumbing and fluid service\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBrass construction offers corrosion resistance in water and many fluid systems\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation threaded brass bushing for 125 lb rated NPT piping systems requiring a 1-1\/2 inch to 1-1\/4 inch reduction.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eInstallation is performed by licensed plumbers or pipefitters following applicable IPC and IFGC requirements for the service type. Shut off and depressurize the system fully before removing or installing any threaded fitting. Apply appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male threads before assembly. Do not overtighten brass fittings, as the material is softer than iron and susceptible to thread damage under excessive torque.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNominal Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1-1\/2 x 1-1\/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\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\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: XNL114-2420\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"MERIT BRASS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51524720787762,"sku":"BUSH112114LF","price":25.46,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/b8787ce69603ceaa66c524dcc5cd48ac_c53663b0-a7fa-435e-ae46-2bb171260772.jpg?v=1785456349","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/merit-brass-xnl114-2420-hex-head-pipe-bushing-1-1-2x1-1-4-brass","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
