Description
Midland Copper Flush Bushing - FTG x C
Midland Copper Flush Bushings provide a compact transition between different copper connection sizes. These reducing fittings use a FTG x C configuration, allowing the fitting end to insert into a compatible copper fitting while the cup end receives compatible copper tubing.
The flush-style configuration is useful where a compact copper size transition is preferred. This listing includes nine priced configurations ranging from 1/4" x 1/8" through 1-1/2" x 1-1/4".

What Is a Copper Flush Bushing?
A copper flush bushing is a compact reducing fitting used to transition between different connection sizes in a copper piping system.
- Provides a compact size transition
- Fits directly into a compatible copper fitting connection
- Accepts a smaller compatible copper connection
- Uses solder-joint installation
- Can reduce the number of fittings required for certain transitions
Understanding FTG x C
FTG Connection
The fitting end is designed to insert into a compatible copper fitting socket rather than receive copper tubing.
C Connection
The cup-style connection receives compatible copper tubing for a solder-joint / sweat connection.
Why Use a Flush Bushing?
Compact Transition
A flush bushing provides a direct transition between different copper connection sizes without requiring a longer reducing fitting assembly.
Reduce Fitting Count
The bushing can provide the required size change directly at a compatible copper fitting connection.
Useful in Tight Spaces
The compact configuration can be useful in piping layouts where installation space is limited.
Common Applications
Plumbing & Mechanical
- Copper water piping
- Heating systems
- Cooling systems
- Mechanical rooms
- Equipment piping
- Copper size transitions
Repair & Installation
- Piping modifications
- Retrofit installations
- Maintenance and repair
- Compact fitting assemblies
- Branch piping
- Compatible copper distribution systems
How to Select the Correct Flush Bushing
- Step 1: Identify both required copper connection sizes.
- Step 2: Confirm which connection must insert into the compatible fitting.
- Step 3: Confirm which connection will receive the compatible copper tube.
- Step 4: Match both dimensions to the correct Midland part number.
- Step 5: Verify the connection configuration is appropriate for the piping layout.

- Insert the fitting end fully into the compatible fitting socket.
- Insert compatible copper tubing properly into the cup connection.
- Use proper soldering and heating procedures.
- Allow completed joints to cool naturally.
- Inspect and test the completed piping system as appropriate.
Installation Guidance
- Verify both nominal connection sizes before ordering and installation.
- Do not confuse the fitting end with a standard cup connection.
- Dry-fit the piping arrangement before soldering where practical.
- Clean all copper mating surfaces before joining.
- Use soldering materials suitable for the piping system.
- Provide adequate support to prevent stress on the fitting.
- Use appropriate installation procedures for the application.
- Pressure-test the completed system according to applicable requirements.
