Built from steel, it carries a maximum temperature rating of 375 degrees F, making it suitable for demanding hydraulic and industrial piping applications. The hex profile provides wrench flats for secure installation with standard pipe wrenches or hex wrenches. Thread specifications are 1-1\/2-11-1\/2 on the male end and 1\/4-18 on the female end, conforming to NPTF dry-seal thread standards. This bushing is installed by plumbers, pipefitters, and hydraulic system technicians working on steel pipe systems.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis reducer bushing is used in hydraulic systems, industrial fluid lines, and steel pipe assemblies where a large-diameter male port must be reduced to accept a smaller female connection. The 5406 Series is designed for steel pipe adapter applications in both commercial and industrial settings. Typical installation scenarios include hydraulic manifold connections, pump port reductions, and inline pipe size transitions where a secure, leak-free dry-seal thread engagement is required.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eReduces 1-1\/2-inch male NPTF to 1\/4-inch female NPTF in a single fitting\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSteel construction for durability in hydraulic and industrial piping environments\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHex profile allows positive wrench engagement during installation and removal\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eNPTF dry-seal thread design minimizes the need for additional thread sealant\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRated to 375 degrees F for use in elevated-temperature fluid systems\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eThread sizes 1-1\/2-11-1\/2 (male) x 1\/4-18 (female) per NPTF standards\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 steel pipe systems using 1-1\/2-inch male NPTF and 1\/4-inch female NPTF connections in hydraulic and industrial piping assemblies.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation is typically performed by a licensed plumber, pipefitter, or hydraulic technician. Depressurize and drain the system completely before removing or installing any pipe fittings. Use a properly sized wrench on the hex flats to avoid rounding. Although NPTF threads are dry-seal by design, consult applicable system specifications and local codes regarding the use of thread sealant compounds on steel fittings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConnection Size 1 (Male)\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1-1\/2 inches NPTF\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConnection Size 2 (Female)\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/4 inches NPTF\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread 1\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1-1\/2-11-1\/2 NPTF\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread 2\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/4-18 NPTF\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum Temperature\u003c\/strong\u003e: 375 degrees F\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.6 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.95 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWidth\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2.15 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.86 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: MIDLAND INDUSTRIES\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 5406244\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"MIDLAND INDUSTRIES","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67948469879090,"sku":"5406244","price":18.54,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/73088a50b3c40f28496a4c6a4e4dba37_56bfa69b-a9ef-4db0-b54d-8458e707e816.jpg?v=1791664688","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/midland-industries-5406244-hex-pipe-reducer-bushing-steel","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
