Product Identity

The Legend Valve 416-486 is a 316 stainless steel hex bushing designed for industrial plumbing systems. It connects a 1-1/4 inch female NPT port to a 3/8 inch male NPT thread in fluid handling applications.

Critical Specification

The 316 stainless steel construction provides corrosion resistance for demanding chemical or marine environments where standard brass fittings would degrade. Buyers needing a different material grade or thread combination cannot use this fitting.

Installation Notes

The hex profile allows standard wrench engagement for straightforward assembly onto clean NPT threads. Installers must apply suitable thread sealant to prevent leaks and should verify chemical compatibility with the 316 alloy before pressurising the system.

Questions about this item

What does the 1-1/4" x 3/8" size mean when the bushing is installed?

The 1-1/4" female thread accepts a matching pipe or fitting, while the 3/8" male thread connects to a smaller component, reducing the line size in one step.

How does the FNPT x MNPT thread standard affect sealing in practice?

FNPT and MNPT are tapered National Pipe Threads that seal by metal-to-metal contact when tightened, so thread sealant or tape is normally applied to prevent leaks.

What clearance does the hex body need for a wrench during installation?

The external hex on the 316 stainless body provides a flat surface for a standard wrench; allow enough space around the fitting for the wrench to turn freely.
