Hex bushings are standard threaded fittings used to change pipe size within a threaded piping system. The external hex allows for wrench engagement during installation, providing solid torque transfer without damaging the fitting. This bushing is finished in black, consistent with black iron pipe fittings used in gas, air, and other compatible piping applications. Plumbers, pipefitters, and gas technicians install this type of fitting in both residential and light commercial systems.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis hex bushing suits applications where a threaded piping run requires a size reduction from 1\/2 inch to 1\/4 inch. Common installation scenarios include gas supply lines, compressed air systems, and low-pressure piping assemblies that use standard NPT-threaded black iron fittings. The compact hex profile allows installation in tight spaces where a standard reducing coupling would not fit. The package contains 30 pieces per unit, making it suitable for contractors stocking job boxes or supply rooms.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eReduces from 1\/2-inch female thread to 1\/4-inch male thread\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eExternal hex profile allows wrench engagement for proper tightening\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBlack finish consistent with standard black iron pipe fitting systems\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCompact bushing design fits where reducing couplings cannot\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePackaged 30 pieces per unit for contractor and shop stocking\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement and standard-use fitting compatible with 1\/2-inch female NPT to 1\/4-inch male NPT threaded piping systems using black iron fittings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation is performed by licensed plumbers, pipefitters, or gas technicians depending on the application. Shut off and depressurize the piping system completely before removing or installing any threaded fittings. Apply an approved thread sealant or pipe tape to the male threads before assembly.
