Specifications of Custom Size Style 1/2″ NPT Male 1/4″ NPT Female Reducing Bushing Brass Pipe Fitting Reducer Adapter

This fitting connects 1/2 inch male NPT pipe threads to 1/4 inch female NPT pipe threads. It reduces the pipe size. The body is solid brass. Brass resists corrosion well. Brass handles water, oil, air, and gas safely. It works fine in cold or hot water lines. The pressure rating is 300 PSI at room temperature. Higher temperatures lower the safe pressure. The male end is 1/2 inch NPT. The female end is 1/4 inch NPT. Both ends use standard NPT tapered threads. Tapered threads create a seal when tightened. Use pipe thread sealant or Teflon tape. Apply sealant to the male threads. This prevents leaks. The fitting has a hex head. The hex head allows easy tightening. Use a wrench on the hex flats. Do not overtighten. Overtightening damages the threads. Damaged threads cause leaks. The fitting is made for standard plumbing and pneumatic systems. It is not for high-pressure steam. The working temperature range is -65°F to 250°F. Do not use it beyond these temperatures. Extreme heat weakens the brass. Extreme cold makes brass brittle. The fitting is yellow brass. Yellow brass is common for plumbing. It has good strength. It machines easily. The internal bore reduces smoothly. This minimizes flow restriction. Flow restriction causes pressure drop. Pressure drop affects system performance. The fitting is durable. Brass withstands vibration. It lasts a long time with normal use. Check fittings periodically for leaks. Replace fittings if damaged. Damaged fittings are unsafe. This bushing is a simple solution for size reduction. It connects different pipe sizes directly. Keep threads clean before assembly. Dirt causes poor seals. Proper installation ensures reliability. The fitting meets basic industry standards. It is suitable for residential and light commercial use. Heavy industrial use requires checking specific ratings. The design is straightforward. It has no moving parts. Maintenance is minimal.

Applications of Custom Size Style 1/2″ NPT Male 1/4″ NPT Female Reducing Bushing Brass Pipe Fitting Reducer Adapter

This brass bushing connects pipes or fittings with different thread sizes. It has a 1/2 inch male NPT thread on its larger end. It has a 1/4 inch female NPT thread on its smaller end. This design reduces the flow path size. It steps down from the larger 1/2 inch connection to the smaller 1/4 inch connection.

The fitting is machined from solid brass. Brass offers good strength. Brass resists corrosion well. This makes the bushing durable. It handles water, air, oil, and fuel effectively. It works reliably in many systems. The material is suitable for standard plumbing pressures.

The male NPT thread screws directly into a 1/2 inch female port. The female NPT thread accepts a 1/4 inch male pipe end. NPT threads are tapered. This creates a tight, leak-resistant seal when properly tightened. Use pipe thread sealant or tape. This ensures a perfect seal.

This reducer bushing is very common. It finds use in many applications. Connect different pipe sizes in water supply lines. Adapt components in compressed air systems. Install it in hydraulic lines carrying oil. Use it in fuel lines for machinery. It serves well in gas lines. It functions in various industrial equipment setups. It helps in irrigation systems. It works in automotive applications. The bushing provides a simple, reliable solution for size reduction.

Its compact design saves space. Installation is straightforward. Tighten the 1/2 inch male end into the larger fitting. Then screw the 1/4 inch male pipe into the bushing’s female end. The brass construction ensures longevity. It withstands typical operating temperatures and pressures. This bushing is a fundamental part for adapting pipe sizes efficiently.

5 FAQs of Custom Size Style 1/2″ NPT Male 1/4″ NPT Female Reducing Bushing Brass Pipe Fitting Reducer Adapter

What does this brass fitting do?
It connects pipes of different sizes. It reduces a 1/2 inch male NPT thread connection down to a 1/4 inch female NPT thread connection. This lets you join a larger pipe to a smaller one.

Why is it made from brass?
Brass resists rust and corrosion well. This is important for water, air, and gas lines. Brass handles pressure safely. It also lasts a long time in many conditions.

What pressure can it handle?
Check the specific product specs. Brass fittings generally handle pressures common in home plumbing and air systems. Never exceed the maximum pressure rating listed. Using it beyond its rating is unsafe.

How do I install it?
Wrap pipe thread sealant tape around the male threads. Turn the fitting clockwise into the female port. Tighten it firmly with a wrench. Avoid over-tightening. Over-tightening can crack the fitting or damage the threads.

Where would I use this reducer?
Use it anywhere you need to connect a 1/2 inch male pipe end to a 1/4 inch female pipe end. Common places include water lines, compressed air systems, some fuel lines, and irrigation setups. It works well for adapting equipment ports too.
