Smith-Cooper 1-1/4 in. MPT x 1/2 in. FPT Stainless Steel Hex Bushing is a compact, corrosion-resistant solution for converting thread sizes in tight spaces. Built from stainless steel and designed with a hex body, this bushing delivers reliable transitions from a 1-1/4" male pipe thread (MPT) to a 1/2" female pipe thread (FPT), all while maintaining a sleek, wrench-friendly profile.
- End 1: 1-1/4 in. MPT (Male Pipe Thread)
- End 2: 1/2 in. FPT (Female Pipe Thread)
- Material: Stainless Steel
- Lead-free construction for safer, cleaner systems
- Maximum pressure rating: 300 psi
- Packaging: Bagged
- Product type: Hex Bushing
Ideal for plumbing, hydronic, and equipment hookup applications where a robust stainless solution is required to bridge larger male threads to smaller female ports. The hex design simplifies installation and disassembly in confined spaces, reducing torque stress on the joint and helping to seal reliably when paired with compatible fittings and appropriate thread sealant.
Why choose this hex bushing
- Durable stainless steel construction stands up to water, mild chemicals, and ambient corrosion, extending the life of your piping connections.
- Lead-free composition aligns with safety standards for potable systems and sensitive environments.
- Compact, hexagonal body enables easy wrench access, even in restricted spaces.
- Explicit 1-1/4" MPT to 1/2" FPT transition supports precise system design without oversized adapters.
Use cases include connecting a 1-1/4" MPT supply line to a 1/2" FPT port on valves, meters, or manifolds. Whether you're assembling new equipment or performing field repairs, this bushing provides a trustworthy, corrosion-resistant link that keeps fluid pathways clear and secure.
Tip: ensure proper engagement of threads and, where appropriate, employ a suitable thread sealant compatible with stainless steel to achieve the best seal and prevent leaks over time.
