Midland Industries 54062016 Hex Pipe Reducer Bushing

Product Description

The MIDLAND INDUSTRIES 54062016 is a hex pipe reducer bushing designed to transition between two different pipe sizes in steel hydraulic and plumbing systems. It features a 1-1/4-inch male NPTF inlet and a 1-inch female NPTF outlet, allowing a larger-diameter line to step down to a smaller one in a single fitting. Constructed from steel, it is rated for temperatures up to 375 degrees F. The hex body provides a flat wrench surface for secure installation and proper torque engagement. This fitting is part of the MIDLAND 5406 Series of steel pipe adapters.

This bushing is used in hydraulic systems, industrial piping, and mechanical service applications where a threaded pipe size reduction is needed between a 1-1/4-inch and a 1-inch line. It is appropriate for both light industrial and heavy-duty fluid-system builds. Plumbers, pipefitters, and hydraulic system technicians are the primary installers. Its compact profile - 1.7 inches in length and 1.9 inches in width - makes it suitable for installations with limited clearance around the fitting.

Key Features

• Steps down from 1-1/4-inch male NPTF to 1-inch female NPTF in a single fitting
• Steel construction rated to 375 degrees F for high-temperature service
• Hex body design allows secure wrench engagement during installation and removal
• NPTF threads provide a pressure-tight, dryseal connection without requiring additional sealant in most applications
• Compact dimensions suit tight installation spaces in hydraulic and piping assemblies

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style steel pipe adapter for hydraulic and industrial piping systems requiring a 1-1/4-inch male NPTF to 1-inch female NPTF threaded reduction.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber, pipefitter, or qualified hydraulic technician. Depressurize and drain the system completely before removing or installing any threaded fittings. NPTF dryseal threads are designed for metal-to-metal sealing, but consult system requirements to determine whether thread sealant is needed for the specific fluid and pressure application. Follow applicable codes such as the IPC or relevant hydraulic system standards for thread engagement and pressure ratings.
