It reduces a 3\/8-inch female thread down to a 1\/4-inch male thread, making it a common component in low-pressure piping assemblies. The hex body provides a flat wrench surface for controlled makeup torque. Plumbers, pipefitters, and mechanical contractors install this type of fitting in gas, air, and water distribution systems where a reducer is needed without adding extra coupling hardware.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis reducing bushing is suited for residential and light commercial piping applications. It is typically found in gas distribution manifolds, compressed air lines, and plumbing supply branches where a quick inline size transition is required. The black finish indicates a malleable or cast iron base material common in gas and industrial pipe assemblies, distinguishing it from galvanized fittings used in water service.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInline hex reducing bushing reduces 3\/8-inch female to 1\/4-inch male thread\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHex body allows positive wrench engagement during installation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBlack finish suitable for gas and industrial piping applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSold as individual unit (EA)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for standard NPT threaded pipe systems requiring an inline 3\/8-inch to 1\/4-inch size reduction.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eInstallation is performed by licensed plumbers or pipefitters following applicable code requirements such as the IFGC or IPC. Shut off and depressurize the system before removing or installing any threaded fitting. Apply appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to male threads before makeup. Do not overtighten, as this can crack cast fittings or damage female threads in connected components.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInlet Thread Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\/8 inches (female)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOutlet Thread Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/4 inches (male)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish\u003c\/strong\u003e: Black\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 4 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePackage Quantity\u003c\/strong\u003e: 100 EA\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: ANVIL INTERNATIONAL INC\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 8700128906\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"ANVIL","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51524515070258,"sku":"8700128906","price":170.62,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/26166ae96fa48d44405d5b4bf6c82f06_b00805a0-6d77-4d61-8502-76ef6c55d6be.jpg?v=1785450499","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/anvil-international-inc-8700128906-black-hex-bushing","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
