Anderson Metals Corp 756110-0402 Brass Hex Bushing

Product Description

The ANDERSON METALS CORP 756110-0402 is a brass hex bushing designed to reduce a 1/4-inch female thread to a 1/8-inch male thread. It is used in plumbing, HVAC, and gas distribution systems where a threaded pipe size reduction is needed in a compact, wrench-friendly hex body. The bushing is manufactured from lead-free brass, meeting the requirements of Public Law 111-380, which governs lead content in plumbing fittings used in potable water systems. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters are the primary installers of this fitting type.

This hex bushing fits standard NPT threaded systems and is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing applications, including water supply lines, gas lines, and HVAC piping assemblies. It is sold in bulk packaging with a package quantity of 10 units, making it practical for service contractors who install multiple fittings per job. The hex profile allows for easy installation and removal using standard open-end or adjustable wrenches.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or qualified pipefitter in accordance with applicable local codes and the International Plumbing Code (IPC). Shut off the water supply or isolate the gas line and relieve system pressure before installing or removing any threaded fitting. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male threads before assembly. Do not overtighten, as brass fittings can crack under excessive force.
