Meet the Smith-Cooper 1-1/2 in. MPT X 1-1/4 in. D FPT Stainless Steel Hex Bushing — a compact, dependable connector designed to simplify your piping projects. This lead-free stainless steel bushing transitions from a 1-1/2 inch male pipe thread (MPT) to a 1-1/4 inch female pipe thread (FPT), delivering a precise, leak-resistant connection in tight spaces.
The hex body is engineered for easy, secure tightening with standard wrenches, making installation faster and reducing the risk of cross-threading in confined cabinets, crawl spaces, or cluttered utility rooms. Precision machining ensures consistent thread engagement, so you’ll get a reliable seal when paired with appropriate sealant or PTFE tape.
-
Lead-free stainless steel construction: ideal for potable water applications and harsh environments, offering long-lasting corrosion resistance.
-
Hexagonal profile for simple wrenching: flat, machined surfaces provide a solid grip and precise torque, even in restricted spaces.
-
Accurate thread compatibility: designed to connect standard MPT to FPT fittings, reducing leaks and installation hassles.
-
Pressure rating: maximum pressure 300, giving you confidence in everyday piping scenarios.
-
Packaging: bagged for secure handling and storage.
Ideal for projects that require converting between thread sizes without sacrificing performance, such as under-sink repairs, appliance connections, irrigation lines, or retrofits where space is limited. The lead-free stainless steel construction provides durability and safety, helping you meet code requirements while delivering dependable performance over time.
Practical tips for best results: apply an appropriate sealant or PTFE tape to the male threads, ensure full engagement of the female threads, and avoid overtightening to protect the threads and seals. Regular inspection during maintenance will help you catch wear or corrosion early and keep your system running smoothly.
