Constructed from 316 and 316L stainless steel, this bushing delivers corrosion resistance in demanding environments including wet, chemical-exposure, and marine plumbing systems. It carries a 3,000 psi pressure rating, making it suitable for high-pressure fluid and gas piping applications. At 5\/8 inch in length and weighing 0.31 pounds, it is a compact, durable fitting installed by licensed plumbers and pipefitters in both industrial and commercial piping systems.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis bushing is used in applications where a pipe or tubing run steps down from a 1-inch nominal line to a 3\/8-inch branch or instrument connection. Typical install scenarios include process piping, hydraulic lines, chemical handling systems, and marine plumbing where corrosion resistance is a primary concern. The 316 and 316L dual-grade material designation makes it appropriate for low-carbon, weld-adjacent service as well as standard threaded installations. It is sold and packaged as a single unit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e316 and 316L stainless steel construction for superior corrosion resistance in wet and chemical environments\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e3,000 psi pressure rating suitable for high-pressure fluid and gas service\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMNPT x FNPT threaded end connections for standard NPT piping systems\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eReduces 1-inch male NPT to 3\/8-inch female NPT in a single compact fitting\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e5\/8-inch body length for minimal inline footprint\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eDual 316 and 316L material grade covers both standard and low-carbon weld-adjacent service\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation bushing for standard NPT threaded piping systems requiring a 1-inch to 3\/8-inch reducer in 316 or 316L stainless steel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation is performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter. Shut off and depressurize the line completely before removing or installing any threaded fitting. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape rated for the service fluid and pressure before making up the connection. Tighten to hand-tight plus wrench turns per applicable IPC or IFGC guidelines for threaded fittings — do not over-torque stainless steel threads, as galling can occur.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFitting Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Bushing\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFitting Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1 x 3\/8 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial Grade\u003c\/strong\u003e: 316 and 316L Stainless Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConnection Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Threaded\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEnd Connection\u003c\/strong\u003e: MNPT x FNPT\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePressure Rating\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3,000 psi\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.625 inches (5\/8 inch)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.31 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUNSPSC Code\u003c\/strong\u003e: 40175300\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: MERIT BRASS\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3614D-1606\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"MERIT BRASS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51540616610098,"sku":"3614D-1606","price":45.46,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/6aef38eab9954070b7ec72019514a33c.jpg?v=1785860173","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/merit-brass-3614d-1606-pipe-bushing-1x3-8-ss-3000-psi","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
