  • Hex profile allows secure wrench tightening for leak-resistant joints

What this fitting is and who needs it

The Value Brand 316 Stainless Steel Hex Reducing Bushing connects a 3/4 inch male NPT thread to a 1/4 inch female NPT thread. It is made from 316 stainless steel for corrosion resistance and features a hexagonal outer profile for wrench tightening. This Class 3000 fitting suits plumbers and maintenance technicians adapting pipe sizes in fluid or gas systems rated up to 3000 psi at 100°F.

Check your existing setup before ordering

Verify that the mating components use NPT threads with 14 threads per inch on the male side and 18 threads per inch on the female side. Confirm the system pressure and temperature stay within the Class 3000 rating and that 316 stainless steel is compatible with the media being conveyed. Ensure the hexagonal profile allows wrench access in the installation location. Note the California Proposition 65 warning regarding chemical content.

Who this suits and who should look elsewhere

This bushing suits installers needing a durable, high-pressure reduction from 3/4 inch to 1/4 inch NPT in stainless steel. It is not for systems requiring a different thread standard, a larger female port, or a lower pressure class. Buyers who want more size combinations or a different material grade should look at other fittings.

Questions about this item

Does the bushing come with thread sealant or do I need to buy it separately?

The fitting is supplied alone; thread sealant or tape must be purchased separately.

Why choose the 3/4 in male by 1/4 in female size over other NPT reductions?

This size adapts a 3/4 in female port down to a 1/4 in male connection; select it when that exact step-down is required.

What does the Class 3000 rating mean when the bushing is installed in a live system?

It indicates a maximum working pressure of 3000 psi at 100°F for water, oil or gas service.
