Description

Brass reducing bushing 1/2 × 3/8 inch is a hexagonal (hex) brass fitting used to connect pipe or fitting sections of differing diameters—specifically, a 3/8‑inch male pipe thread to a 1/2‑inch female pipe thread. It is usually manufactured from solid brass (often a yellow or red brass alloy) providing corrosion resistance and good strength under pressure. The hex shape allows a wrench to grip and tighten it securely without damaging the body. In plumbing or gas line systems, this bushing is used to reduce or adapt from larger to smaller pipeline connections while maintaining a leak‑tight seal when properly installed with thread sealant or tape.
