This fitting is used in copper piping systems where a smooth, flush reduction is required without adding significant length to the assembly. Wrot copper construction provides consistent wall thickness and excellent solderability. The FTG x C end configuration means the male fitting end inserts directly into a standard cup-end fitting or valve, making it a common choice for tight-space reductions in refrigeration, plumbing, and HVAC piping work. Outside diameter measures 1\/2 x 3\/8 inches.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis flush bushing is suited for residential and light commercial applications where copper piping systems require an in-line size reduction. Typical installations include domestic water lines, HVAC refrigerant-adjacent copper assemblies, and hydronic piping. Plumbers and HVAC technicians install this fitting wherever a compact, low-profile bushing is preferable to a standard reducing coupling. The solder joint connection method requires proper flux application and a torch-applied sweat solder process in accordance with applicable codes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eWrot copper construction for consistent wall thickness and reliable solder joints\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFlush bushing profile minimizes added length in tight installations\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFTG x C end connection inserts directly into a standard cup-end fitting\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMeets ASME B16.22 and ASME B16.18 standards for wrought copper and cast copper alloy fittings\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eAlso conforms to ASME B16.15, ASME B16.24, ASME B16.50, and ASME B1.20.1\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eLightweight at 0.0111 pounds per unit\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 copper solder-joint piping systems using 3\/8-inch to 1\/4-inch reductions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation is performed by licensed plumbers or HVAC technicians familiar with torch-soldering copper fittings. Shut off and depressurize the water or fluid system and allow all components to cool before working on the line. Clean all mating surfaces with emery cloth and apply an approved flux before soldering per ASME and applicable local plumbing codes. Do not overheat the fitting, as excessive heat can damage the copper or wick solder past the joint.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFitting Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Flush Bushing\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFitting Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\/8 x 1\/4 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOutside Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/2 x 3\/8 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEnd Connection\u003c\/strong\u003e: FTG x C\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStyle\u003c\/strong\u003e: Solder Joint\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: Wrot Copper\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.0111 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStandards\u003c\/strong\u003e: ASME B1.20.1, ASME B16.15, ASME B16.18, ASME B16.22, ASME B16.24, ASME B16.50\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: MUELLER INDUSTRIES\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: W 01712\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"MUELLER INDUSTRIES","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51710361272626,"sku":"W 01712","price":24.17,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/c54208110794b706fdb90abf9e36fcad.jpg?v=1788466024","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/mueller-industries-w-01712-copper-flush-bushing-3-8x1-4","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
