This type of bushing seats flush within the fitting socket, allowing a clean, low-profile joint without adding significant length to the assembly. It is made from copper and is used in sweat-soldered copper piping systems. Plumbers and pipefitters install this fitting during new construction and service work where a pipe size reduction is needed at an existing fitting rather than inline. The outer diameter measures 7\/8 x 5\/8 inches and the bore diameter is 0.5 inches.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis flush bushing is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing systems where copper sweat connections are standard. It fits into applications such as supply lines, water distribution piping, and hydronic systems where a FTG-to-C reduction is required at a valve, tee, or coupling. The flush design minimizes protrusion into the fitting socket, which helps maintain flow characteristics through the transition. It is compliant with common copper fitting standards used across the plumbing trade.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFlush bushing design seats inside the fitting socket for a compact, low-profile reduction joint\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e3\/4-inch FTG inlet reduces to 1\/2-inch C (sweat) outlet\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBore diameter of 0.5 inches for 1\/2-inch copper tubing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOuter diameter of 7\/8 x 5\/8 inches for proper socket fit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCopper construction for compatibility with sweat-soldered copper piping systems\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLightweight at 0.10 pounds for easy handling and stocking\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement and standard-trade fitting for copper sweat piping systems using 3\/4-inch FTG x 1\/2-inch C connections.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis fitting is installed by licensed plumbers using standard copper sweat-soldering techniques in accordance with applicable IPC or local plumbing codes. Shut off and depressurize the water supply and allow all piping to cool before beginning work. Clean all mating surfaces with emery cloth and apply flux before soldering. Do not overheat the fitting, as excessive heat can damage the copper or cause poor joint integrity.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: Copper\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConnection Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: FTG x C (Fitting x Sweat)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInlet Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\/4 inches FTG\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOutlet Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/2 inches C\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBore Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.5 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOuter Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 7\/8 x 5\/8 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShipping Weight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.10 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShipping Dimensions\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.88 x 0.84 x 0.90 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: MUELLER STREAMLINE\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: BUS00448\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"MUELLER STREAMLINE","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51525163352370,"sku":"BUS00448","price":21.46,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/fa60625ad2623008236cf9cd69b8cae2.webp?v=1785465906","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/mueller-streamline-bus00448-copper-flush-bushing-3-4x1-2","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
