Fibre-metal 69029109028 Hex Bushing 3/4 X 3/8 in A105

Product Description

The FIBRE-METAL 69029109028 is an A105 carbon steel forged hex bushing fitting designed to reduce a 3/4-inch female threaded port down to a 3/8-inch male threaded connection. Hex bushings of this type are standard components in high-pressure piping assemblies, used to transition between pipe sizes without the need for additional fittings. The A105 material designation indicates a forged carbon steel specification commonly required in industrial and mechanical piping systems. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this type of bushing in gas, steam, water, and hydraulic lines where a compact, threaded reduction is needed.

This hex bushing is suited for commercial and industrial piping installations where ASME-compliant forged carbon steel fittings are specified. The hex body profile allows installation and removal with standard pipe wrenches or open-end wrenches, making it practical for tight spaces and retrofit work. It is appropriate for use in mechanical rooms, process piping, and utility systems that require a 3/4-inch to 3/8-inch threaded reduction at a fitting junction.

Key Features

• A105 forged carbon steel construction meets common industrial piping material specifications
• Hex body profile provides wrench flats for controlled installation torque
• Reduces 3/4-inch female thread to 3/8-inch male thread in a single compact fitting
• FS series designation indicates forged steel product line
• Suitable for gas, steam, water, and hydraulic piping applications

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-install forged steel hex bushing for 3/4-inch by 3/8-inch threaded pipe reduction applications in industrial and mechanical piping systems.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed plumbers or pipefitters in accordance with applicable mechanical and plumbing codes such as the IPC or IFGC. Shut off and depressurize the line completely before removing or installing any threaded fitting. Apply appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male threads per the system fluid requirements. Do not over-tighten; use the hex flats to achieve a proper wrench-tight connection without stressing the fitting body.
