1-1/2 inch x 3/4 inch Brass Hex Head Bushing Male x Female

BRS Hex Bushing 1-1/2 inch x 3/4 inch – Lead-Free Brass Transition Fitting

The BRS Hex Bushing 1-1/2 inch x 3/4 inch is a high-integrity brass fitting designed to facilitate reductions in pipeline diameter within pressure or distribution systems. Manufactured from lead-free brass, this bushing offers corrosion resistance and mechanical stability, making it suitable for potable water and hydronic applications. The hexagonal profile allows for secure installation using a wrench, ensuring consistent torque during assembly.

Performance Benefits

• Lead-Free Material: Certified to NSF/ANSI 61 and NSF 372 for use in potable water systems.
• Hex Body Design: Allows for controlled tightening using open-end or adjustable wrenches.
• Thread Profile: NPT threads conform to ANSI B1.20.1, providing a pressure-tight seal when properly installed with thread sealant.
• High Pressure Tolerance: Suitable for systems operating up to 200 PSI, depending on system temperature and application.

Specifications

• Nominal Sizes: 1-1/2 inch Male NPT x 3/4 inch Female NPT
• Material: C46500 lead-free brass or equivalent
• Temperature Rating: -20°F to 400°F (non-shock)
• Application Type: Potable water, air, oil, and gas systems (non-flammable environments only)

Installation Notes

Use a calibrated torque wrench to avoid over-tightening. Always apply an approved pipe thread compound or PTFE tape to male threads. Avoid cross-threading, and verify full engagement to maintain pressure rating. Not for use with soft copper tubing or plastic threaded adapters without mechanical support.

Common Applications

• • Transitioning service line sizes in water distribution networks
• • Adapting down branches in copper or brass threaded manifolds
• • Pressure systems where space constraints require a compact reducing solution

Compliance

Manufactured to meet ASTM B584 and ANSI/ASME B16.15 standards for cast and wrought bronze and brass threaded fittings. Meets the Safe Drinking Water Act (SDWA) requirements for lead-free installations under current federal guidelines.

The BRS Hex Bushing 1-1/2 inch x 3/4 inch is a reliable, code-compliant solution for professionals needing a compact, corrosion-resistant reducer with excellent sealing properties. Designed for longevity and consistent performance across a range of approved system types.
