Brass Bush, Lead Free

This lead-free brass bushing from Midland Metal adapts a 1-inch female port down to a 3/4-inch connection, letting you join plumbing components of different sizes cleanly and reliably in a single fitting. With MIPT x FIPT connections, it threads into a 1-inch female fitting on its male side while accepting a 3/4-inch male thread on its female side, making size transitions simple throughout water treatment and general plumbing systems.

Reducing bushings are the quiet problem-solvers of plumbing, addressing the constant reality of mismatched port sizes without resorting to a stack of adapters or reworking an entire run. By handling the change in one compact component, a bushing keeps joints tidy, reduces the number of potential leak points, and saves space in crowded equipment areas. This lead-free version is formulated for potable water and built from corrosion-resistant brass for long service life under pressure.

Use this bushing whenever you need to adapt a 1-inch valve, manifold, control head, or tank port to 3/4-inch plumbing on softeners, filters, and supply lines. It is a common requirement when stepping down from larger equipment connections to standard household-size piping, and a single correctly sized bushing handles it without fuss.

For a dependable, leak-free seal, apply PTFE tape or pipe dope to the threads and tighten to a firm fit, taking care not to crack the female end by over-torquing. Durable, code-friendly, and compact, this lead-free reducing bushing is a staple fitting that installers keep stocked for both new installations and quick repairs, ready to bridge that 1-inch to 3/4-inch gap whenever a job calls for it. Stocking a few of the most common reducing sizes, this 1-by-3/4-inch among them, means you are rarely caught short when an equipment port and a service line do not match, which keeps installs moving. As a finishing touch, snug the connection just until it seals rather than forcing it, since brass threads reward a measured hand and a calibrated touch produces a joint that is both watertight and easy to service later.
