Product identity
The Banjo RB050-038 reducing bushing connects a 1/2 inch male NPT thread to a 3/8 inch female NPT thread. It is made from black polypropylene and rated for Schedule 80 piping systems with a maximum operating pressure of 300 psi. The fitting suits installers and maintenance teams who need a durable, chemical-resistant transition between two pipe sizes.
Accessory impact
No bundled accessories or software are included with this bushing. The component is a single-piece fitting ready for immediate installation, so nothing in the package changes the connection method, the pressure rating or the temperature range of -20 to 150 degrees Fahrenheit.
Setup check
Verify that both mating threads are 14 NPT and that the system pressure will not exceed 300 psi. Confirm the piping material is compatible with polypropylene and that the operating temperature stays within the stated range. The overall length is 1 1/32 inches, so ensure the available space accommodates this dimension before ordering.

Questions about this item
Will the polypropylene threads need sealant or replacement after repeated assembly?
The Schedule 80 polypropylene bushing uses NPT threads; apply PTFE tape or pipe dope each time to prevent leaks and avoid over-tightening that can stress the material.
What pressure or temperature limit will be reached first during continuous service?
The 300 psi maximum operating pressure and 150 °F upper temperature limit define the envelope; sustained use near either value reduces long-term reliability.
Does the fitting generate heat or noise when fluid runs through it all day?
As a static polypropylene reducer it adds no mechanical noise or heat; fluid temperature simply follows the -20 °F to 150 °F service range.
