Mars 69029153096 Galvanized Hex Bushing 3/4 X 1/4 in

Product Description

The MARS 69029153096 is a galvanized hex bushing designed to reduce pipe thread connections from a 3/4-inch female thread to a 1/4-inch male thread. This fitting is used to transition between two different pipe sizes within a threaded piping system. The galvanized finish provides corrosion resistance suitable for use in mechanical, plumbing, and HVAC piping assemblies. The hex body allows for proper wrench engagement during installation, ensuring a secure, leak-free connection. Plumbers, pipefitters, and HVAC technicians routinely use hex bushings like this one when adapting supply lines, gauge ports, or branch connections to smaller-diameter fittings or components.

This bushing is suited for residential and light commercial applications where a threaded pipe reduction is required. Common install scenarios include adapting gauge taps, drain ports, service valves, and branch connections in water, air, or gas piping systems where a 3/4-inch to 1/4-inch reduction is needed. The galvanized steel construction makes it appropriate for dry or low-moisture environments typical of HVAC equipment rooms, mechanical chases, and utility spaces.

Key Features

• 3/4-inch female NPT inlet to 1/4-inch male NPT outlet thread reduction
• Galvanized finish for corrosion resistance in mechanical piping environments
• Hex body profile allows secure wrench engagement during installation
• Threaded construction compatible with standard NPT pipe fittings and components
• Compact design suitable for tight mechanical spaces

Compatibility

Designed as a standard NPT threaded hex bushing for use in residential and light commercial piping systems requiring a 3/4-inch to 1/4-inch pipe thread reduction.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber, pipefitter, or qualified HVAC technician in accordance with applicable local codes and IPC or IFGC requirements. Shut off and depressurize the piping system before installing or removing any threaded fitting. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male threads before assembly. Do not overtighten, as this can crack fittings or damage mating threads.
