1/2 in x 1/4 in Hex Reducing Bushing

This hex reducing bushing connects a 1/2 inch female threaded opening to a 1/4 inch male threaded pipe or fitting. It is manufactured from 304 stainless steel for corrosion resistance in plumbing and industrial systems. The hexagonal profile allows secure tightening with a standard wrench during installation.

304 Stainless Steel Material and Thread Standards

The 304 stainless steel construction provides durability in environments requiring corrosion resistance and elevated temperature service per ASTM A182 specifications. Threads conform to ANSI/ASME B1.20.1 standards, and the fitting meets ASME B16.11 dimensional requirements for forged fittings.

Pressure and Temperature Limits

This fitting is rated for a maximum pressure of 3000 psi at 100°F and a maximum steam pressure of 2500 psi at 350°F. A secure seal requires appropriate thread sealant and tightening in accordance with manufacturer guidelines. California Proposition 65 warnings apply for chemicals known to cause cancer and reproductive harm.

Questions about this item

Will the 304 stainless steel threads need replacement from corrosion or wear?

The 304 stainless steel material provides corrosion resistance for elevated temperature service per ASTM A182 specifications, reducing the likelihood of thread degradation under normal operating conditions.

What pressure limit applies first during continuous high-pressure use?

The fitting is rated for a maximum pressure of 3000 psi at 100°F, which serves as the primary pressure boundary for sustained liquid service at ambient temperature.

How much heat does the fitting generate when steam runs through it all day?

The fitting itself does not generate heat; it is rated to withstand steam pressure up to 2500 psi at 350°F per ASME B16.11 standards for elevated temperature service.
