Constructed from 304 stainless steel, this Schedule 40 fitting handles up to 150 psi and meets ISO standards. The MNPT x FNPT configuration allows a straightforward threaded installation without additional adapters. Plumbers, pipefitters, and mechanical contractors use this bushing where pipe size reductions are needed in fluid or gas distribution systems requiring corrosion-resistant hardware.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis bushing is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing, instrumentation lines, compressed air systems, and process piping where stainless steel construction is specified. The 3\/8 x 1\/4-inch size is a common reduction used in manifold assemblies, gauge connections, and branch-line transitions. Its 304 stainless steel body makes it appropriate for mildly corrosive environments and applications where carbon steel fittings are not acceptable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e304 stainless steel construction resists corrosion in wet and mildly aggressive service environments\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSchedule 40 wall rating at 150 psi working pressure\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMNPT x FNPT threaded ends for tool-only installation with no special equipment\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eISO-compliant dimensions ensure interchangeability with standard threaded fittings\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCompact 3\/8 x 1\/4-inch reduction fits tight manifold and instrument port applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for Schedule 40 threaded piping systems using 3\/8-inch and 1\/4-inch NPT connections.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation is performed by licensed plumbers or pipefitters following applicable IPC or IFGC guidelines depending on service media. Shut off and depressurize the line completely before removing or installing any threaded fitting. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male threads before engagement. Do not over-torque stainless steel threads, as galling can occur; use a calibrated pipe wrench and follow standard NPT thread engagement practices.\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: 3\/8 x 1\/4 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: 304 Stainless Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConnection Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Threaded MNPT x FNPT\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePressure Rating\u003c\/strong\u003e: 150 psi\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSchedule\u003c\/strong\u003e: 40\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStandards\u003c\/strong\u003e: ISO\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.01 pounds\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: K414-0604\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"MERIT BRASS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51722735878450,"sku":"K414-0604","price":56.36,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/ca339caa46f16ad31e0402a0c6ec8e9e.jpg?v=1788595129","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/merit-brass-k414-0604-pipe-bushing-3-8-x-1-4-in-304-ss","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
