This fitting is used to transition between two different copper tube sizes within a plumbing or hydronic system. At 0.44 inches in length and 0.5 inches in height and width, it is a compact, low-profile reducer that installs cleanly inside existing fittings without adding significant stack height. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this type of bushing when connecting branch lines, appliance supply lines, or refrigeration tubing where a direct size reduction is required at the joint.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis flush bushing is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing, hydronic heating, refrigeration piping, and HVAC condensate or refrigerant line applications where copper sweat connections are standard. The FTG x C configuration allows the bushing to be inserted directly into a fitting socket, making it a space-efficient solution for in-line size reductions. It is appropriate for use in potable water systems, pressure lines, and other copper tube installations where ASME-rated components are required.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFlush design allows the bushing to seat inside a fitting socket without protruding\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1\/2-inch FTG inlet x 3\/8-inch C outlet for a direct sweat-solder size reduction\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCompact profile: 0.44 inches in length, 0.5 inches in height and width\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMeets multiple ASME standards for cast and wrought copper fittings\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eLightweight at 0.01 pounds, suitable for tight or overhead installations\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style sweat copper reducing bushing for use in standard 1\/2-inch FTG x 3\/8-inch C copper fitting applications in residential and commercial plumbing and HVAC piping systems.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation is performed by licensed plumbers or qualified pipefitters using standard sweat-soldering tools including a torch, flux, and lead-free solder per local plumbing codes. Shut off and drain the water supply or depressurize the system completely before cutting into existing lines. Clean and deburr all mating surfaces before applying flux to ensure a leak-free joint. Follow local plumbing codes and ASME standards for material and solder compatibility in potable water or pressure applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConnection Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/2 inch x 3\/8 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConnection Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: FTG x C\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eActual Height\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.5 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eActual Length\/Depth\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.44 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eActual Width\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.5 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eActual Weight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.01 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStandards\/Compliance\u003c\/strong\u003e: ASME B16.15, ASME B16.18, ASME B16.22, ASME B16.24, ASME B16.50, ASME B1.20.1\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 STREAMLINE\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: BUS00978\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"MUELLER STREAMLINE","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51525192155442,"sku":"BUS00978","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/3fa16dd9c2a6dd8b5bc41aca94334db2.webp?v=1785466797","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/mueller-streamline-bus00978-copper-flush-bushing","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
