This type of fitting is a standard reducer used in potable water, plumbing, and light industrial piping systems where pipe thread sizes must be transitioned at a junction point. Rated at a 125 lb pressure class, it meets strict dimensional and material standards applicable to water service and distribution applications. The lead-free bronze construction satisfies safe drinking water compliance requirements. Plumbers and pipefitters install this fitting as part of threaded assembly work on supply lines, manifolds, and service connections.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis hex bushing is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing installations where a 1-inch threaded male run must be reduced to a 3\/8-inch female branch or outlet. Common use cases include supply line transitions, fixture supply rough-in, and manifold outlet reduction. The external hex profile allows standard wrench engagement for controlled installation torque without marring the fitting body. Thread specifications are 1-11-1\/2 NPT on the male end and 3\/8-18 NPT on the female end, conforming to ASME B1.20.1.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eLead-free bronze construction meets safe drinking water material requirements\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1-inch male NPT inlet reduces to 3\/8-inch female NPT outlet\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e125 lb pressure class rating for water service applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHex body profile allows wrench engagement for secure, controlled installation\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMeets AWWA C800, ASME B16.15, ASME B1.20.1, WW-P-460C, and MSS-SP-106 standards\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eUSA lead-free bronze fitting suitable for potable water systems\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style threaded reducer fitting for use in residential and commercial plumbing systems with standard NPT-threaded pipe and fittings conforming to ASME B1.20.1.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation is performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with applicable local plumbing codes and IPC requirements. Shut off the water supply and relieve system pressure before threading the bushing into the receiving female fitting. Apply thread sealant tape or compound rated for potable water service to the male NPT threads before assembly. Do not over-tighten; use the hex flats for controlled wrench engagement to avoid cracking the fitting body or damaging mating threads.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConnection Size 1 (Male NPT)\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConnection Size 2 (Female NPT)\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\/8 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Specification\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1-11-1\/2 NPT x 3\/8-18 NPT\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePressure Class\u003c\/strong\u003e: 125 lb\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: Lead-Free Bronze\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.05 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.2 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWidth\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.2 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.22 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStandards\u003c\/strong\u003e: AWWA C800, ASME B16.15, ASME B1.20.1, WW-P-460C, MSS-SP-106\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: MIDLAND INDUSTRIES\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 44511LFUSA\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"MIDLAND INDUSTRIES","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67951726461234,"sku":"44511LFUSA","price":51.43,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/9b9e0e81be86141c5a77b1fd36e6eea2_b0eb7c7c-3a07-47f7-a1ef-156a3f29b4d4.jpg?v=1791734686","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/midland-industries-44511lfusa-hex-bushing-1-in-x-3-8-in","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
