Ndl Industries N-1326 Reducing Bushing 7/8x5/8 Ftgxc

Product Description

The NDL INDUSTRIES N-1326 is a reducing bushing designed to connect a 7/8-inch fitting end to a 5/8-inch copper connection in refrigeration and HVAC piping systems. This fitting allows a technician to step down tubing size within a refrigerant line set or related piping assembly without additional adapters. The FTGXC end configuration means one side accepts a fitting-to-fitting sweat connection while the other is sized for a standard copper tube outside diameter. HVAC technicians and refrigeration mechanics are the primary installers of this type of component.

This reducing bushing is suited for residential and light commercial HVAC and refrigeration applications where refrigerant line sets or copper piping must transition between tube sizes. It is typically used during system installation, line set modification, or service work where a direct size reduction is needed at a connection point. The FTGXC configuration makes it compatible with standard sweat-joint assembly practices common in refrigerant piping work.

Key Features

• Reduces from 7/8 inch to 5/8 inch in a single fitting
• FTGXC end configuration for sweat-joint assembly
• Compact bushing form factor for tight installation spaces
• Suited for refrigerant line set and copper piping applications

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or service fitting for HVAC and refrigeration copper piping systems requiring a 7/8-inch to 5/8-inch FTGXC reducing connection.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed HVAC technician or refrigeration mechanic. The system must be properly recovered and depressurized before any fitting work is performed on refrigerant lines. Use appropriate sweat-soldering tools and follow local mechanical codes and EPA Section 608 requirements when working on refrigerant-containing systems. Do not apply heat to a pressurized line.
