This fitting is a standard pipe-thread reducer used in fluid and pneumatic systems where a threaded size transition is required. The hex body allows installation and removal with a standard open-end or box wrench. Rated to 1200 psi, it is suited for high-pressure plumbing, compressed air, hydraulic, and gas distribution lines. Plumbers, pipefitters, and HVAC technicians install this fitting when adapting between mismatched pipe thread sizes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis hex bushing is a common component in residential and commercial piping systems. It threads directly into a female NPT or NPTF port, providing a reduced female NPTF outlet. Typical install scenarios include control valve manifolds, pressure gauge ports, compressor headers, and fuel system connections. The brass construction makes it well suited for use across a wide range of pipe materials and service fluids within its rated temperature and pressure limits.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eReduces 1\/2-inch male NPTF to 1\/4-inch female NPTF in a single fitting\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRated to 1200 psi working pressure\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBrass construction resists corrosion and is compatible with brass, bronze, copper, steel, aluminum, and iron pipe\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSAE pattern hex body measures 0.87 inches across flats for standard wrench engagement\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eOverall length of 1 inch keeps installation compact\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eTemperature range of -65 degrees F to 250 degrees F supports a wide variety of service conditions\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCompatible for use with brass, bronze, copper, steel, aluminum, and iron pipe.

Always depressurize and de-energize the system before installing or removing pipe fittings. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male NPTF threads per the fitting manufacturer and applicable code requirements such as the IPC or IFGC. Do not over-tighten; use a properly sized wrench on the hex body and avoid pipe wrenches that may damage the fitting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConnection Size 1\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/2 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConnection Type 1\u003c\/strong\u003e: Male NPTF\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConnection Size 2\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/4 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConnection Type 2\u003c\/strong\u003e: Female NPTF\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/2-14 x 1\/4-18\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWorking Pressure\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1200 psi\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHex Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.87 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTemperature Range\u003c\/strong\u003e: -65 degrees F to 250 degrees F\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: Brass\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: MIDLAND INDUSTRIES\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 23228X4\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"MIDLAND INDUSTRIES","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67948930957618,"sku":"23228X4","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/50a7cdf7d7c4846bdbba047c12705773.jpg?v=1791677116","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/midland-industries-23228x4-brass-sae-hex-bushing-nptf","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
