Hex Bushing for Pipe Reduction

This no-lead hex bushing reduces a 1-1/4 inch male pipe thread to a 1/2 inch female pipe thread. It is intended for plumbing installations that require a secure transition between different pipe sizes. The cast bronze construction makes it suitable for potable water systems.

Cast Bronze Handles Continuous Pressure

The cast bronze body resists corrosion and maintains structural integrity under sustained system pressure. Unlike plastic alternatives it will not deform or creep during long-term operation. The material is rated for continuous duty in hot and cold water distribution.

Hex Shape Allows Standard Tool Use

The external hex profile accepts common wrenches for reliable tightening without rounding. Threaded MNPT and FNPT ends follow standard taper specifications for leak-free joints. California Proposition 65 warnings apply due to chemical content.

Questions about this item

Will this 310-485NL hex bushing leak or corrode when installed in a hot-water line that runs all day?

The no-lead cast bronze body resists corrosion and handles continuous hot-water service without degrading.

What pipe threads must my existing plumbing have for this 1-1/4" x 1/2" bushing to seal properly?

It requires a male NPT thread on the 1-1/4" side and a female NPT thread on the 1/2" side for a direct fit.

Can I connect this no-lead bronze bushing to older brass fittings without causing galvanic corrosion?

Bronze and brass are compatible copper alloys, so mixing them in the same water line does not create a galvanic issue.
