The hex head allows wrench engagement for a secure, leak-free installation in pressurized piping systems. Rated at a 125 lb pressure class, this fitting is suited for water, gas distribution, and general plumbing applications. The bronze alloy construction resists corrosion in both wet and dry service environments. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this type of reducer bushing when downsizing pipe runs within a system.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 44516 is designed for residential and commercial plumbing, irrigation, water service, and HVAC-related piping where a threaded size reduction is needed in-line. Its compact hex profile measures 1.33 inches across the flats, making it suitable for installations in tight spaces or manifold assemblies. The 1-1\/4 inch MPT threads onto the larger port of a valve, fitting, or pipe, while the 1\/2 inch FPT accepts a smaller threaded nipple or fitting. Manufactured to AWWA C800, ASME B16.15, ASME B1.20.1, WW-P-460C, and MSS-SP-106 dimensional standards.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBronze construction for corrosion resistance in potable water and general plumbing service\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e125 lb pressure class rating\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1-1\/4 inch MPT inlet to 1\/2 inch FPT outlet for in-line size reduction\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1.33 inch hex flat for secure wrench engagement\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\u003eCompact length of 1.14 inches for space-constrained installations\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style threaded replacement fitting for use in standard NPT piping systems requiring a 1-1\/4 inch MPT to 1\/2 inch FPT size reduction.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eA licensed plumber or pipefitter should install this fitting in accordance with applicable IPC and local plumbing codes. Shut off and depressurize the supply line before threading in the bushing. Apply an approved thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male threads before assembly. Do not overtighten; use a properly sized wrench on the hex flats and avoid pipe wrenches on the body.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConnection Size 1\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1-1\/4 inches MPT\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConnection Size 2\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/2 inch FPT\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: Bronze\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePressure Class\u003c\/strong\u003e: 125 lb\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHex Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.33 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.14 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Height\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.6 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Width\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.15 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.38 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimension Standards\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\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\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: 44516\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"MIDLAND INDUSTRIES","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67948478726450,"sku":"44516","price":35.69,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/9efa05991697cf94b8b4de0e58b3c91a_f374b35c-89c1-40db-a41e-3e6bce91dcd8.jpg?v=1791665035","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/midland-industries-44516-reducer-hex-bushing-bronze","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
