Fibre-metal 69029109043 Hex Bushing 1-1/2 X 1/2 in A105

Product Description

The FIBRE-METAL 69029109043 is a forged hex bushing fitting in the FS product line, manufactured to ASTM A105 carbon steel specification. This 1-1/2 x 1/2 inch reducing hex bushing is designed to connect a larger female-threaded port to a smaller male-threaded pipe, reducing the line size within a threaded piping assembly. A105-grade carbon steel provides the material strength and pressure ratings required for demanding industrial and mechanical piping systems. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this fitting in gas, steam, water, and general service pipe runs where a threaded size reduction is needed at a valve, manifold, or equipment port.

This hex bushing is suited for commercial and industrial piping applications where 1-1/2 inch female to 1/2 inch male threaded transitions are required. Typical installation scenarios include boiler rooms, mechanical rooms, process piping headers, and HVAC hydronic systems. The hex body profile allows standard pipe wrenches or open-end wrenches to seat the fitting without marring adjacent components. It is a direct threaded fitting and does not require special tooling beyond standard pipe-fitting hand tools.

Key Features

• ASTM A105 carbon steel construction for high-pressure and high-temperature service suitability
• 1-1/2 inch female to 1/2 inch male reducing configuration for in-line size transitions
• Hex body profile accepts standard pipe wrenches for positive torque without slipping
• FS product line designation for forged steel threaded fittings
• Compact bushing form eliminates the need for a full coupling and reducer combination

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style threaded replacement fitting for use in standard NPT-threaded forged steel piping assemblies requiring a 1-1/2 inch to 1/2 inch reducing connection.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable codes such as the IPC or IFGC. Depressurize and drain or isolate the piping system fully before removing or installing any threaded fitting. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to male threads before makeup. Do not over-torque; use a backup wrench on adjacent fittings to prevent stress on connected piping or valves.
