Midland Industries 62509 Hex Bushing 3/4 in X 1/2 in 304 Ss

Product Description

The MIDLAND INDUSTRIES 62509 is a 150 lb hex bushing used to reduce a 3/4 in male NPT connection down to a 1/2 in female NPT connection. Constructed from 304 stainless steel, it delivers corrosion resistance in wet, chemical-exposed, or outdoor piping environments. The hex profile allows standard wrench engagement during installation. Thread dimensions conform to ASME B1.20.1 for reliable, leak-resistant makeup. This fitting is a standard item for licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and HVAC technicians working on threaded pipe assemblies in both residential and commercial systems.

This hex bushing is suited for threaded pipe systems where a reduction between 3/4 in and 1/2 in NPT connections is required. Typical applications include water supply lines, compressed air distribution, steam service, and process piping where stainless steel is specified for its corrosion resistance or sanitary requirements. The 150 lb pressure class makes it appropriate for low-to-medium pressure service in commercial and light industrial installations. Plumbers and pipefitters routinely use this type of fitting in new construction and retrofit work.

Key Features

• 304 stainless steel construction for corrosion resistance in wet and chemical-exposed environments
• 3/4 in male NPT x 1/2 in female NPT for straightforward pipe diameter reduction
• 150 lb pressure class for low-to-medium pressure service
• Hex body profile for secure wrench engagement during installation
• Thread dimensions per ASME B1.20.1 for consistent fit with standard NPT fittings
• Compact dimensions at approximately 1.1 inches length and 1.05 inches width

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting compatible with standard 3/4 in male NPT and 1/2 in female NPT threaded pipe systems rated at 150 lb pressure class.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable local codes, the IPC, or IFGC as relevant to the service. Isolate and depressurize the piping system completely before disassembly or fitting installation. Apply appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male threads before engagement. Do not over-torque; tighten to a firm, leak-free makeup using a properly sized wrench on the hex body.
