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

Product Description

The MIDLAND INDUSTRIES 62509MS is a hex bushing fitting designed to reduce a 3/4-inch male NPT connection to a 1/2-inch female NPT connection. Constructed from 304 stainless steel, this bushing provides corrosion resistance suitable for demanding plumbing, industrial, and process piping applications. The hexagonal body allows for standard wrench engagement during installation and removal. It carries a 150 lb pressure class rating and uses 3/4-14 x 1/2-14 thread specifications, making it a reliable, code-compatible choice for licensed plumbers and pipefitters working on fluid and gas distribution systems.

This hex bushing fits inline wherever a 3/4-inch NPT port must be reduced to accept 1/2-inch NPT-threaded components such as valves, gauges, sensors, or pipe nipples. It is appropriate for residential and light commercial plumbing, hydronic heating systems, compressed air lines, and general industrial piping where stainless steel material compatibility is required. The SP-114 series is a 304 stainless steel fitting line intended for applications where carbon steel or brass fittings are not suitable due to corrosion or media concerns.

Key Features

• 304 stainless steel construction for corrosion resistance in wet and chemical-exposure environments
• 3/4-inch male NPT to 1/2-inch female NPT reduction in a single fitting
• 150 lb pressure class rating suitable for standard piping system pressures
• Hex body profile accepts standard pipe wrenches and hex wrenches for secure installation
• 3/4-14 x 1/2-14 NPT thread form for compatibility with standard threaded pipe systems

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style threaded fitting for standard NPT piping systems requiring a 3/4-inch male to 1/2-inch female reduction in 304 stainless steel at a 150 lb pressure class.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by licensed plumbers or pipefitters following applicable IPC or IFGC guidelines. Shut off and depressurize the system completely before removing or installing any threaded fittings. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male NPT threads before assembly. Do not over-torque, as stainless steel threads can gall; use steady, controlled wrench force and inspect threads for damage before installation.
