Hex bushings are standard fittings used to transition between two different pipe sizes within a threaded piping system. The external hex profile allows for wrench engagement during installation, providing the torque needed to make a secure, leak-resistant connection. This fitting is commonly installed by plumbers, HVAC technicians, and pipefitters working on gas, water, or refrigerant piping assemblies where a reducing connection is required.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis hex bushing is suited for residential and light commercial applications where a threaded pipe size reduction is needed at a fitting, valve, or equipment port. It is appropriate for use in HVAC systems, plumbing rough-in, and gas piping assemblies where 1-inch to 1\/4-inch thread reductions are called for. The black finish is typical of malleable iron fittings used in gas service and general piping applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eReduces 1-inch female thread to 1\/4-inch male thread in a single fitting\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHex outer profile provides a flat wrench surface for secure installation\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBlack finish consistent with malleable iron gas and piping fittings\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCompact bushing design eliminates the need for a separate coupling and nipple\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement or standard-stock hex bushing for threaded piping systems requiring a 1-inch to 1\/4-inch reduction.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation is performed by licensed plumbers, pipefitters, or HVAC technicians in accordance with applicable codes such as the IFGC or IPC. Shut off gas or water supply and depressurize the line before threading the bushing into place. Apply approved thread sealant or PTFE tape to all male threads before assembly. Use a properly sized wrench on the hex flats to tighten the fitting — do not over-tighten, as this can crack fittings or damage threads.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSize\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1 x 1\/4 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish\u003c\/strong\u003e: Black\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFitting Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Hex Bushing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: MARS\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 69029136058\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"MARS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51619605217586,"sku":"69029136058","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/ec3db22424dfa8ac69a5a97cd2d864a7.jpg?v=1787332257","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/mars-69029136058-hex-bushing-1-x-1-4-inches-black","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
