TDM Brass 114N0134 Threaded Reducing Bushing 1 inch to 3/4 inch

The TDM Brass 114N0134 threaded reducing bushing is a precision-engineered component designed to facilitate a seamless transition between pipes of different diameters in plumbing and heating systems. Crafted from high-quality brass, this fitting provides a robust and reliable connection, ensuring structural integrity and long-term performance in various hydraulic setups. Its design allows for a secure 1-inch male to 3/4-inch female reduction, making it an essential part for professional pipework installations.

Advantages

The primary advantage of this brass reducing bushing is its exceptional durability and resistance to corrosion, which is critical for maintaining system longevity in water-based applications. The precision-cut threads ensure a tight, leak-proof seal, minimizing the risk of drips or pressure loss. Its compact design allows for easy installation in tight spaces, while the high-grade material composition ensures compatibility with standard plumbing components, providing a stable and professional-grade connection that withstands varying temperatures and pressures.

Suitable for

• Residential plumbing systems
• Heating and cooling circuit installations
• Industrial hydraulic piping transitions
• Water supply line modifications

When it may not be suitable

This fitting is not intended for use in systems involving highly aggressive chemicals or gases that are incompatible with brass materials. It should also not be used in high-pressure steam applications that exceed the rated temperature and pressure limits of standard brass fittings.

Key specifications

• Material: High-quality brass
• Connection type: Threaded
• Male thread size: 1 inch
• Female thread size: 3/4 inch
• Application: Plumbing and heating systems

How to use

To install the reducing bushing, ensure that the pipe ends are clean and free of debris. Apply an appropriate thread sealant, such as PTFE tape or a compatible pipe sealant, to the male threads to ensure a watertight connection. Thread the 1-inch male end into the corresponding female fitting and tighten securely using a suitable wrench, taking care not to overtighten. Once installed, thread the 3/4-inch pipe or fitting into the female side of the bushing until firm. After assembly, pressurize the system slowly to check for any signs of leakage at the connection points.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify the thread standards of your existing pipes to ensure compatibility.
• Check the pressure and temperature requirements of your specific system.
• Ensure you have the correct tools for proper tightening.
• Confirm that the brass material is suitable for the fluid being transported.

Usage recommendations

Always inspect the threads for damage before installation and use a professional-grade sealant to guarantee a leak-free connection. Avoid using excessive force during tightening to prevent deformation of the brass threads.
