Midland Industries 62504MS Hex Bushing 1/2 X 1/4 in Npt Ss

Product Description

The MIDLAND INDUSTRIES 62504MS is a hex bushing fitting designed to reduce a 1/2-inch male NPT connection down to a 1/4-inch female NPT port. Machined from 304 stainless steel, this bushing delivers corrosion resistance suitable for wet, chemical-exposed, or outdoor service environments. It carries a 150 lb pressure class rating and is threaded to 1/2-14 NPT on the male end and 1/4-18 NPT on the female end. The hex body allows standard wrench engagement for clean, controlled installation. Plumbers, pipefitters, and mechanical contractors use this fitting when stepping down pipe or tubing runs at threaded joints in fluid and gas distribution systems.

This hex bushing is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing, compressed air distribution, instrumentation lines, and industrial fluid systems where a reduction from 1/2-inch to 1/4-inch NPT is required at a threaded connection point. The 304 stainless steel construction makes it a practical choice in applications where carbon steel or brass fittings would be vulnerable to corrosion, including marine-adjacent environments and chemical service lines. It is sold individually with a minimum order quantity of one piece.

Compatibility

Designed as a standard NPT hex bushing reducer compatible with any 1/2-inch male NPT threaded port or pipe end where a 1/4-inch female NPT outlet is required, consistent with ASME B1.20.1 NPT thread standards.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed plumbers or qualified pipefitters. Isolate and depressurize the line before threading in any fitting. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male NPT threads before assembly. Do not over-torque stainless steel fittings, as galling can damage threads and compromise the seal.
