Midland Industries 28672W Reducer Hex Bushing 1x3/4 in Nylon

Product Description

The MIDLAND INDUSTRIES 28672W is a reducer hex bushing designed to step down a 1-inch male pipe thread (MPT) connection to a 3/4-inch female pipe thread (FPT) connection. Molded from nylon, this fitting handles working pressures up to 125 psi and operates across a temperature range of -40 to 200 degrees F. The hex body profile allows for standard wrench engagement during installation. This type of fitting is used by plumbers, pipefitters, and mechanical contractors to adapt between two common pipe sizes within low-pressure fluid or air distribution systems.

This bushing is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing, irrigation, compressed air distribution, and fluid handling applications where plastic fittings are appropriate. The nylon construction resists corrosion and many common chemicals, making it a practical choice in environments where metal fittings may be unsuitable. It is threaded to NPT standards, with a 1-11-1/2 thread on the male end and a 3/4-14 thread on the female end.

Key Features

• Steps down 1-inch MPT to 3/4-inch FPT in a single fitting
• Rated to 125 psi working pressure
• Operates from -40 to 200 degrees F
• Nylon construction resists corrosion and common chemicals
• Hex body profile accepts standard wrench for secure makeup
• NPT-standard threads: 1-11-1/2 male and 3/4-14 female

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for plastic pipe systems using standard NPT threaded connections in low-pressure plumbing and fluid handling applications.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter. Shut off system pressure and drain the line before removing or installing any threaded fitting. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male threads before makeup. Do not overtighten nylon fittings; hand-tighten plus one to two turns with a wrench is the general practice for plastic threaded fittings to avoid cracking the body.
