Anderson Metals Corp 756110-0604 Brass Hex Bushing

Product Description

The ANDERSON METALS CORP 756110-0604 is a brass hex bushing designed to reduce a 3/8-inch female pipe thread to a 1/4-inch male pipe thread. This fitting is used to connect pipes or components of different thread sizes in a single threaded joint. It is machined from brass and meets lead-free compliance standards under California AB-1953 and Vermont SB-152 legislation. Plumbers and pipefitters install this type of bushing during new construction and retrofit work wherever a threaded size reduction is needed in a compact space.

This hex bushing suits residential and light commercial plumbing systems where NPT threaded connections are standard. It is well suited for potable water supply lines, water heater connections, and general pipe assembly work. The hex outer profile allows a wrench to seat and torque the fitting without damaging adjacent components. It is sold in bulk packaging of 10 pieces per package, making it practical for service trucks and supply stock.

Installation Notes

A licensed plumber should install this fitting in potable water systems to comply with local plumbing codes referenced under the IPC and applicable state legislation. Shut off the water supply and depressurize the line before threading the bushing into the female fitting. Apply thread sealant tape or compound to the male threads per local code requirements. Do not overtighten; use a wrench on the hex body only and avoid applying force to connected tubing.
