Value Collection 455-053NL Brass Pipe Bushing Mpt Class 125

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 455-053NL is a red brass pipe bushing designed to reduce a 1-inch female threaded port down to a 1/2-inch male threaded connection. Both ends use male pipe thread (MPT) configuration, making this a hex bushing suitable for use in water supply, plumbing distribution, and light industrial piping systems. Rated at 125 psi and built to Class 125 standards, this fitting handles standard service pressures found in residential and commercial plumbing. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters are the primary installers. The red brass construction resists dezincification and corrosion, which is why this alloy is favored in potable water and wet service applications.

This bushing is used wherever a threaded pipe system requires a reduction from a 1-inch line to a 1/2-inch branch or outlet. Common applications include water distribution manifolds, fixture supply rough-ins, irrigation headers, and mechanical room piping. It is appropriate for residential and light commercial plumbing systems operating within Class 125 pressure limits. The compact hex body allows installation and removal with standard pipe wrenches or hex wrenches without requiring special tooling.

Key Features

• Red brass construction resists corrosion and dezincification in potable water service
• 125 psi pressure rating meets Class 125 service requirements
• Male pipe thread (MPT) on both ends for direct threaded installation
• Reduces 1-inch connection to 1/2-inch outlet in a single fitting
• Hex body profile accepts standard pipe wrenches for easy torque application
• Compact dimensions suit tight-clearance installs in walls and mechanical spaces

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for Class 125 threaded brass piping systems using 1-inch to 1/2-inch MPT reductions.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with applicable IPC or local plumbing code requirements. Shut off and depressurize the supply line completely before removing or installing any threaded fitting. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male threads before assembly. Do not overtighten brass fittings, as the alloy can crack under excessive torque.
