Value Collection PC110NB-82 Brass Pipe Bushing 1/2x1/8

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION PC110NB-82 is a brass pipe bushing designed to reduce a 1/2 inch male NPT thread down to a 1/8 inch female NPT thread. This fitting serves as a concentric reducer in threaded pipe systems, allowing technicians to connect a smaller-diameter line to a larger-diameter port or fitting. Rated to 1,000 psi, it handles the pressure demands common in compressed air, hydraulic, plumbing, and HVAC service applications. The nickel plated finish provides added corrosion resistance over bare brass. Plumbers, pipefitters, HVAC technicians, and industrial service techs use this type of bushing when adapting ports on manifolds, valves, pumps, or equipment bodies.

This bushing is suited for residential and light commercial applications where a threaded reduction is needed between 1/2 inch and 1/8 inch NPT ports. Common install scenarios include adapting gauge ports on boilers and HVAC equipment, reducing fittings on compressed air distribution lines, and connecting small-diameter instrumentation lines to larger threaded ports. The 1,000 psi pressure rating makes it appropriate for both low-pressure plumbing and moderate-pressure pneumatic or fluid systems.

Key Features

• 1/2 inch MNPT to 1/8 inch FNPT thread configuration for reliable concentric reduction
• 1,000 psi pressure rating suitable for plumbing, pneumatic, and HVAC service work
• Nickel plated brass construction offers corrosion resistance in demanding environments
• Compact bushing form factor fits directly into threaded ports without additional adapters
• NPT threads on both ends provide a tapered, pressure-tight seal when properly installed

Compatibility

Designed as a standard-thread replacement or add-on fitting for any system using 1/2 inch MNPT and 1/8 inch FNPT NPT connections rated to 1,000 psi or less.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed plumbers, pipefitters, or qualified HVAC technicians. Shut off system pressure and depressurize the line before removing or installing any threaded fitting. Apply thread sealant tape or pipe dope to the male threads in accordance with IPC and IFGC guidelines for the fluid or gas type involved. Do not over-tighten brass fittings, as brass threads can strip or crack under excessive force.
