Featuring MIPT x FIPT connections, it threads into a 1-1\/4-inch female fitting on one side and accepts a 1-inch male thread on the other, providing a clean, compact way to change line sizes in water treatment and plumbing installations without a tangle of extra adapters.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSize transitions are a routine part of connecting larger valves, manifolds, control heads, or tank ports to standard 1-inch plumbing. Rather than reworking an entire run or stacking multiple fittings, a single reducing bushing makes the change in one place, which keeps the assembly compact and minimizes the number of joints that could potentially leak. This lead-free brass version is suitable for potable water and resists corrosion for dependable, long-term service in wet, continuous-duty environments.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBrand: Midland Metal Mfg\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFitting type: reducing bushing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eConnection: MIPT x FIPT (male x female)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSize: 1-1\/4 inch x 1 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaterial: lead-free brass\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eItem weight: 0.38 lbs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis bushing is a practical choice for adapting larger control valves, headers, and bypass assemblies to 1-inch service lines on softeners and filtration systems, where the equipment side is often a size larger than the household plumbing it ties into. Brass construction provides the strength to handle system pressure and the corrosion resistance to last.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor a secure, leak-free joint, apply thread sealant or PTFE tape to the threads and tighten to a firm fit, being mindful not to over-torque and stress the threads. Rugged, lead-free, and code-conscious, it is exactly the kind of fitting that keeps an installation moving forward and belongs in every plumber's and water treatment installer's kit, ready whenever a 1-1\/4-inch to 1-inch reduction is needed. Because larger equipment connections so often need to meet 1-inch household plumbing, this 1-1\/4-by-1-inch reduction is a frequently reached-for size that belongs in any installer's standard fitting assortment. As with all threaded brass, hand-start the connection to seat the threads cleanly before applying a wrench, which prevents cross-threading and ensures the reduction seals on the first attempt rather than requiring a redo. Keeping a small assortment of reducing bushings on the truck turns size mismatches from a job-stopping problem into a quick, routine fix.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Midland Metal Mfg","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45668764876853,"sku":"B1210HB","price":22.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0552\/4950\/2261\/files\/b1210hb.jpg?v=1782532470","url":"https:\/\/watersoftenerplus.com\/pl-eu\/products\/brass-bush-1-1-4x1-lead-free","provider":"Water Softener Plus","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
