It transitions from a 3\/8-inch fitting (FTG) end to a 1\/4-inch cup (C) end, allowing a plumber to step down pipe diameter at a junction without additional fittings or adapters. The FTG end slips inside a standard copper fitting socket, while the C end accepts a copper tube directly. This bushing is a standard soldered connection component used in both residential and light commercial copper piping runs.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis reducing bushing is suited for potable water supply lines, refrigeration tubing, and general copper piping applications where a 3\/8-inch to 1\/4-inch reduction is required. The FTG x C configuration makes it compatible with sweat-solder assembly methods common in plumbing rough-in and repair work. It is typically installed by licensed plumbers or experienced HVAC technicians working with copper tube systems that require a step-down transition at a fitting or valve connection point.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e3\/8-inch FTG inlet transitions to 1\/4-inch cup (C) outlet for a clean pipe reduction\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFTG x C connection type supports standard sweat-solder assembly\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCopper construction provides corrosion resistance and long service life in water and refrigeration applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompact bushing form factor eliminates the need for a coupling plus a separate reducer\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAvailable in a box quantity of 50, suitable for stocking or multi-unit service work\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style sweat-solder fitting for copper tube systems requiring a 3\/8-inch to 1\/4-inch reducing bushing with FTG x C connections.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eInstallation requires shutting off and draining the water supply or isolating the refrigerant circuit before soldering. A licensed plumber or HVAC technician should perform sweat-solder connections using appropriate flux, lead-free solder, and a torch per applicable plumbing codes such as the IPC or local amendments. Ensure all tube ends are cut square, deburred, and cleaned before fluxing and sweating the joint. Allow the fitting to cool fully before restoring system pressure.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBasic Fitting Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Bushing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSpecific Fitting Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Reducing Bushing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConnection Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: FTG x C\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConnection Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\/8 inches x 1\/4 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: Copper\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBox Quantity\u003c\/strong\u003e: 50\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: NDL INDUSTRIES\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: W1306\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"NDL INDUSTRIES","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51383338828082,"sku":"W1306","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/312670939.jpg?v=1782593774","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/ndl-industries-w1306-copper-reducing-bushing-3-8x1-4-ftg-x-c","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
