Anderson Metals Corp 756110-0602 Brass Hex Bushing 3/8x1/8

Product Description

The ANDERSON METALS CORP 756110-0602 is a lead-free brass hex bushing used to reduce a 3/8-inch female pipe thread to a 1/8-inch male pipe thread. Hex bushings are a standard threaded fitting in plumbing and gas line assemblies, allowing technicians to connect components with mismatched port sizes without additional adapters. This fitting complies with the lead-free requirements of Public Law 111-380, making it suitable for potable water applications. The brass construction resists corrosion and holds up to the mechanical stress of threaded connections. Sold in bulk packs of 10 units per package.

This hex bushing is used in residential and light commercial plumbing, HVAC, and gas piping applications where a threaded size reduction is needed at a valve, manifold, gauge port, or equipment connection. It is typically installed by licensed plumbers or HVAC technicians working on water supply lines, pressure gauge taps, or small-bore gas fittings. The 3/8-inch to 1/8-inch reduction is a common size pairing found across boiler trim, pressure relief assemblies, and instrumentation ports.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a licensed plumber or qualified HVAC technician. 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 per applicable IPC or IFGC requirements. Do not overtighten brass fittings, as the material can crack under excessive torque.
