Constructed from 316 and 316L stainless steel, this bushing delivers strong corrosion resistance in demanding environments. It carries a pressure rating of 3,000 psi, making it suitable for high-pressure fluid and gas line applications. The male NPT by female NPT (MNPT x FNPT) thread configuration allows direct installation into existing pipe systems without additional adapters. It weighs 0.9 pounds and measures 15\/16 inches in length.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis bushing is used in industrial, commercial, and mechanical piping systems where size reduction between pipe runs is required. Typical applications include process piping, chemical handling, marine plumbing, and food-grade or sanitary installations where stainless steel is specified. The 316 and 316L alloy grades provide added resistance to chloride corrosion, making this fitting appropriate for saltwater, chemical, and corrosive-fluid service environments. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters are the primary trade installers for this type of fitting.\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\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e3,000 psi pressure rating for high-pressure line service\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMNPT x FNPT threaded ends for direct installation into NPT pipe systems\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eReduces 1-1\/2 inch female connection to 3\/8 inch male connection\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCompact 15\/16 inch length minimizes space requirements in tight installations\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style threaded pipe bushing for use in NPT piping systems requiring a 1-1\/2 inch to 3\/8 inch reduction in 316 or 316L stainless steel service.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter. Shut off and depressurize the system completely before removing or installing any threaded fittings. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to NPT threads before make-up.
