A pipe bushing threads into a larger fitting to adapt it down to a smaller pipe or fitting size, letting one connection serve two thread sizes without extra couplings. These hex-head bushings are stocked in black steel, brass, and galvanized across a wide range of reducing sizes for water, gas, steam, and black-iron work.
Key Features: - Reduces Fitting Size -- Adapts a larger female threaded opening down to a smaller male thread in one piece.
- Three Materials -- Stocked in black steel, brass, and galvanized to match the system.
- Wide Size Range -- Reducing combinations from 1/8 x 1/4 up through 2 x 1-1/2.
- Hex Body -- Wrench-flat body for a tight, torqued install.
- Threaded (NPT) -- Standard tapered pipe threads for leak-tight metal connections.
Where to Use: - Building maintenance -- Adapting pipe and fitting sizes during supply, gas, and steam repairs
- Rough plumbing -- Reducing thread sizes on new threaded pipe runs
- Code compliance -- Material-matched bushings (black, brass, galvanized) for approved connections
