Hex bushings are threaded pipe fittings used to connect two pipes or fittings of different sizes within the same run. The hexagonal exterior provides a flat wrench surface for secure installation. The galvanized finish offers corrosion resistance suitable for general plumbing, HVAC piping, and light industrial applications. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters are the primary installers of this type of fitting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis hex bushing is suited for residential and commercial piping systems where a concentric pipe reduction is needed without adding significant length to the assembly. Common applications include water supply lines, gas distribution systems (where code permits galvanized fittings), HVAC refrigerant piping support systems, and general threaded pipe assemblies. The fitting is sold in a package quantity of 100 units, making it appropriate for contractors stocking van or shop inventory.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1\/2-inch female NPT inlet reduces to 3\/8-inch male NPT outlet\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eGalvanized finish provides corrosion resistance for general service environments\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHex exterior allows standard pipe wrench or open-end wrench engagement\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCompact in-line design adds minimal length to the piping assembly\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSold in a package quantity of 100 units per order\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement and standard-stock hex bushing for use in threaded pipe systems requiring a 1\/2-inch to 3\/8-inch concentric reduction.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation is performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter. Shut off and depressurize the piping system before making or breaking any threaded connection. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male threads before assembly, following local plumbing code requirements such as IPC or IFGC. Do not over-torque the fitting, as this can crack the hex or damage mating threads.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInlet Thread Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/2 inch female NPT\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOutlet Thread Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\/8 inch male NPT\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish\u003c\/strong\u003e: Galvanized\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePackage Quantity\u003c\/strong\u003e: 100 each\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 5 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\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: 8700130555\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"ANVIL","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51525385978162,"sku":"8700130555","price":401.78,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/07c805b77c46a3558274286f17684a71_1e0f2b14-2ac8-4641-ad29-859c03f24e1c.jpg?v=1785472384","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/anvil-international-inc-8700130555-galvanized-hex-bushing","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
