Brass Fittings Hex Bushing NPT Reducer

This brass hex bushing NPT reducer (also called a reducing bushing or pipe reducer bushing) adapts a larger female NPT port to a smaller male NPT pipe connection. It lets you step down pipe size in a compact, one-piece fitting for plumbing, fluid, and air-line systems.

Key Features:

• Solid brass construction for good corrosion resistance and durability
• Hex body for easy wrenching during installation and removal
• Male NPT (National Pipe Taper) threads on the outside and female NPT threads on the inside to reduce from a larger to a smaller pipe size
• Compact profile that saves space compared with using a separate nipple and coupling
• Suited to water, air, oil, fuel, and other compatible non-corrosive fluid applications

Use thread sealant or PTFE tape on the tapered threads to help create a leak-resistant seal. Tighten with a properly sized wrench on the hex flats, and avoid over-tightening to prevent damage to the threads. Each variant in this product line is selected by thread size, so choose the one that matches the pipe sizes in your system.
