Brass bushing, 1-1/2" x 1", Lead Free

This Midland Metal lead-free brass bushing reduces a 1-1/2-inch female port to a 1-inch connection, making it straightforward to adapt larger plumbing to standard 1-inch lines. With MIPT x FIPT threading, it screws into a 1-1/2-inch female fitting and accepts a 1-inch male thread, delivering a clean, reliable size transition for water treatment and plumbing systems in a single compact component.

When larger valves, manifolds, headers, or tank ports need to connect to 1-inch service plumbing, a reducing bushing is the cleanest and most economical solution. It accomplishes the size change in one fitting instead of a stack of adapters, which keeps the joint compact, reduces potential leak points, and conserves space in busy equipment areas. Made from corrosion-resistant, lead-free brass, this bushing is appropriate for potable water and built to hold up under pressure for years of dependable use.

This heavier-duty bushing is ideal for stepping down from 1-1/2-inch headers or large control valves to 1-inch piping on softeners and filtration equipment, a common need where commercial or high-flow gear meets standard service lines. The substantial brass body reflects the larger size and the strength required to handle the connection reliably.

For a leak-free seal, apply PTFE tape or pipe dope to the threads and tighten to a firm fit, taking care not to over-torque the threaded ends. Heavy-duty, lead-free, and built for demanding plumbing transitions, this reducing bushing is a go-to adapter that belongs in any well-stocked inventory, ready to bridge 1-1/2-inch to 1-inch connections on installations and repairs alike. The heavier brass body reflects the larger port size, so handle it accordingly during installation and support the connection as needed to avoid placing undue strain on adjacent fittings. As with all threaded brass, start the connection by hand and finish with a wrench to a firm seal, avoiding excessive force that could stress the larger threads. For commercial and high-flow installations where 1-1/2-inch equipment meets 1-inch service piping, having this size on hand keeps the work moving rather than stalling over a single missing adapter.
