Midland Industries 06110-1612-001 Brass Hex Bushing

Product Description

The MIDLAND INDUSTRIES 06110-1612-001 is a brass hex bushing designed to reduce a 1-inch male NPTF threaded connection down to a 3/4-inch female NPTF threaded port. Manufactured from solid brass with a pre-applied thread sealant, this bushing simplifies pipe assembly by eliminating the need for additional tape or paste on the threads. It measures 1.31 inches in length with a 1.37-inch hex drive for wrench engagement. Rated to 1000 psi, it handles the pressure demands found in a wide range of plumbing, gas, and fluid-handling applications. Plumbers and pipefitters install this fitting wherever a threaded size reduction is needed at a port, valve, or manifold connection.

This hex bushing is suited for residential and light commercial piping work across water supply, compressed air, and fuel gas systems. The NPTF thread form creates a pressure-tight mechanical seal without relying solely on sealant compound. Pre-applied sealant on the threads reduces assembly time in the field. The brass construction resists corrosion and performs reliably across a wide temperature range of -65 to 250 degrees F, making it appropriate for both indoor and outdoor installations in heated and unheated spaces.

Key Features

• 1 in male NPTF inlet reduces to 3/4 in female NPTF outlet for inline size reduction
• Rated to 1000 psi for use in pressure-demanding plumbing and gas piping systems
• Pre-applied thread sealant speeds assembly and reduces the chance of dry assembly
• 1.37-inch hex allows standard wrench or pipe wrench engagement for proper torque
• Temperature rated from -65 to 250 degrees F for broad environmental suitability
• Compatible with brass, bronze, copper, steel, aluminum, and iron pipe systems

Compatibility

Compatible with brass, bronze, copper, steel, aluminum, and iron pipe systems using 1-11-1/2 male NPTF and 3/4-14 female NPTF threaded connections.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed plumbers or pipefitters following applicable IPC and IFGC code requirements for the pipe material and service type. Shut off and depressurize the line before making or breaking any threaded connection. Use a properly sized wrench on the 1.37-inch hex to avoid damage to the fitting body. Do not use the female port to drive the fitting, as this can crack the threads.
