Midland Industries 9001-12-08 Bspt Reducer Bushing

Product Description

The MIDLAND INDUSTRIES 9001-12-08 is a steel BSPT reducer bushing designed to step down a 3/4-inch male BSPT connection to a 1/2-inch female BSPT connection. Part of the 9001 Series, this fitting is built for hydraulic and fluid-system applications where British Standard Pipe Tapered threads are required. The male end carries a 3/4-14 thread and the female end carries a 1/2-14 thread. Constructed entirely from steel, it delivers the strength and pressure resistance that hydraulic plumbing demands. Plumbers, pipefitters, and hydraulic system technicians install this bushing when reducing line size between BSPT-threaded components.

The 9001-12-08 fits into hydraulic systems, industrial fluid lines, and equipment plumbing assemblies that use BSPT-standard threaded connections. Its reducer design allows a larger-diameter supply or return line to transition cleanly to a smaller-diameter port or fitting without additional adapters. The compact body - measuring approximately 1.2 inches in length and 1.3 inches in width - keeps the fitting envelope tight in confined equipment bays. This part is suited for both OEM assembly and field service repair work on hydraulic and fluid-transfer systems.

Key Features

• Reduces 3/4-inch male BSPT to 1/2-inch female BSPT in a single fitting
• 3/4-14 male thread and 1/2-14 female thread per BSPT standard
• All-steel construction for hydraulic-rated strength and durability
• Compact body: approximately 1.2 inches long, 1.3 inches wide, 1.15 inches tall
• Lightweight at 0.17 pounds, minimizing added load in tight plumbing runs
• Part of the 9001 Series BSPT Reducer Bushing product line

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or service fitting for hydraulic and industrial fluid systems that use British Standard Pipe Tapered (BSPT) threaded connections requiring a 3/4-inch to 1/2-inch reduction.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified pipefitter, hydraulic technician, or licensed plumber. Always depressurize and drain the system fully before removing or installing any threaded fitting. Apply an appropriate thread sealant rated for the system fluid and pressure - BSPT tapered threads rely on thread engagement for sealing, so correct sealant selection matters. Follow applicable industry codes and equipment manufacturer torque guidelines when making up threaded connections.
