Eaton 3220X8X6 Pipe Bushing 1/2 X 3/8 Mnptf Fnptf 4000 Psi

Product Description

The EATON 3220X8X6 is a straight industrial pipe bushing designed to reduce from a 1/2-inch male NPT fitting to a 3/8-inch female NPT fitting. It uses a male-to-female configuration (MNPTF x FNPTF) and is rated for a maximum working pressure of 4000 psi and a temperature range of -65 degrees F to 250 degrees F. This bushing is suited for hydraulic and fluid power lines where a threaded reduction between pipe ports is required. Licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and hydraulic system technicians typically install this fitting in industrial and commercial applications.

This bushing fits straight-line plumbing and hydraulic manifold configurations where a 1/2-inch NPT male port must be reduced to accept a 3/8-inch NPT female connection. It conforms to SAE 130140 standards, making it appropriate for hydraulic systems, pneumatic lines, and general industrial fluid handling installations that require a reliable threaded reduction fitting.

Key Features

• Straight bushing configuration — MNPTF x FNPTF thread interface
• 1/2-inch male NPT to 3/8-inch female NPT reduction
• 4000 psi maximum working pressure rating
• Operating temperature range: -65 degrees F to 250 degrees F

• Meets SAE 130140 standard

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or service fitting for industrial hydraulic, pneumatic, and fluid power systems requiring a 1/2-inch MNPTF to 3/8-inch FNPTF threaded reduction.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a licensed plumber, pipefitter, or hydraulic system technician. Depressurize and isolate the fluid system completely before removing or installing any threaded fittings. Use a properly sized wrench on the 7/8-inch hex to avoid rounding the fitting. Apply thread sealant appropriate to the fluid media and system pressure rating; follow applicable IFGC, IPC, or hydraulic system codes for your jurisdiction.
