Hex bushings are a standard fitting in pipe systems, allowing technicians to step down pipe size within a run without additional couplings or nipples. The galvanized steel finish provides corrosion resistance suitable for both indoor and outdoor applications. This part ships in a package quantity of five and is sold by the each. It is a common stock item for plumbers, HVAC technicians, and pipefitters working on gas, water, or air lines.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis hex bushing is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing, HVAC, and general pipe fitting applications where a 3\/8-inch to 1\/4-inch NPT reduction is needed. It is typically installed in threaded pipe assemblies for water supply, compressed air, and low-pressure gas piping systems. The galvanized finish makes it appropriate for installations where mild moisture exposure is expected. This fitting is a practical addition to any service truck or shop parts inventory.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e3\/8-inch female NPT to 1\/4-inch male NPT reduction\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGalvanized steel construction for corrosion resistance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHex body design allows standard wrench installation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSold in packages of five units\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLightweight at approximately 0.19 pounds per unit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement and general-use fitting for standard NPT threaded pipe systems requiring a 3\/8-inch to 1\/4-inch reduction.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eInstallation is performed by licensed plumbers or HVAC technicians following applicable IPC and IFGC codes.
