Midland Industries 62508 Hex Bushing 3/4 Male Npt X 3/8 Female Npt

Product Description

The MIDLAND INDUSTRIES 62508 is a 150 lb rated hex bushing designed to reduce a 3/4-inch male NPT connection down to a 3/8-inch female NPT port. Constructed from 304 stainless steel, this fitting delivers corrosion resistance suitable for demanding fluid and gas piping applications. The hex body allows wrench engagement for secure, leak-free installation. Thread form conforms to ASME B1.20.1, with a 3/4-14 male thread mating to a 3/8-18 female thread. Plumbers, pipefitters, and HVAC technicians install this type of fitting when transitioning between pipe sizes within a threaded system.

This hex bushing is suited for use in residential and commercial piping systems where a threaded pipe size reduction is required. Typical applications include water supply lines, compressed air systems, fuel gas distribution, and process piping operating within 150 lb pressure class service. The 304 stainless steel construction makes it appropriate for environments where mild corrosive exposure is a concern, such as outdoor installations, marine-adjacent settings, or systems carrying mildly aggressive media.

Key Features

• 3/4-inch male NPT to 3/8-inch female NPT reducing configuration
• 304 stainless steel construction for corrosion resistance
• 150 lb pressure class rating
• Hex body design for wrench-flat engagement during installation
• Threads conform to ASME B1.20.1 dimensional standard
• 3/4-14 x 3/8-18 NPT thread specification

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 150 lb class threaded hex bushing compatible with NPT-threaded pipe systems requiring a reduction from 3/4-inch to 3/8-inch connections per ASME B1.20.1 thread standards.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter following applicable local plumbing codes and ASME standards. Shut off and depressurize the system completely before removing or installing any threaded fittings. Apply an approved thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male NPT threads before assembly. Do not over-torque the fitting, as stainless steel threads are susceptible to galling if driven without proper lubrication or sealant.
