Brass Hex Bushing 3/4 in Male NPT 1/2 in Female
This brass hex bushing reduces a 3/4 inch male NPT thread to a 1/2 inch female NPT thread. It is rated for a maximum operating pressure of 200 psi. The fitting suits water, air or oil lines in residential and light commercial plumbing. California Proposition 65 warnings apply for cancer and reproductive harm.
Class 125 Brass Construction
The straight body is machined from brass for corrosion resistance and durability. Hexagonal flats allow standard wrench engagement for secure installation. Male and female threads are cut to NPT taper for a reliable seal with thread sealant or tape. The Class 125 rating confirms the pressure boundary for typical supply pressures.
Reducing Adapter for Thread Mismatch
This bushing solves the common problem of joining a larger male fitting to a smaller female port without changing the main piping. It replaces improvised reducer assemblies that add length and potential leak paths. The jump is worth it when a direct, compact transition is required and the 200 psi rating covers the system pressure.

Questions about this item
What Class 125 rating does this hex bushing carry?
The Class 125 rating indicates the fitting is designed for standard 200 psi service in water, oil or gas lines.
What thread size and type are needed to install this 3/4 in male NPT bushing?
It requires a 3/4 in female NPT port on the mating pipe or valve and a 1/2 in male NPT pipe nipple or component for the female end.
How do you seal the tapered NPT threads without over-tightening?
Apply PTFE tape or pipe dope to the male threads, hand-tighten, then turn one to two full turns with a wrench on the hex flats — stop before the joint bottoms out.
