Midland Industries 63519B1 Barstock Hex Bushing 1-1/2 X 1/4

Product Description

The MIDLAND INDUSTRIES 63519B1 is a barstock hex bushing designed to reduce a 1-1/2 inch male pipe thread (MPT) connection down to a 1/4 inch female pipe thread (FPT) connection. Machined from 316 stainless steel barstock, this fitting delivers corrosion resistance suitable for demanding fluid and gas applications. It carries a pressure rating of 1000 to 3000 psi, making it appropriate for high-pressure piping systems. The hex body allows standard wrench engagement for secure, leak-free installation. Licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and HVAC technicians working with stainless steel piping systems are the primary installers of this fitting.

This hex bushing is used in industrial, commercial, and mechanical piping systems where a threaded size reduction is required between a 1-1/2 inch and 1/4 inch connection point. Common applications include process piping, compressed air systems, hydraulic lines, chemical handling systems, and plumbing assemblies where corrosion resistance is a priority. The 316 stainless steel construction makes it well suited for environments exposed to moisture, chlorides, or corrosive media.

Key Features

• 316 stainless steel barstock construction for superior corrosion resistance
• 1-1/2 inch MPT inlet reduces to 1/4 inch FPT outlet
• Rated 1000 to 3000 psi for high-pressure service
• Hex body design for full wrench engagement during installation
• Barstock machined construction for consistent thread quality and dimensional accuracy

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style threaded reduction fitting for 1000-pound and above stainless steel piping systems requiring a 1-1/2 inch MPT to 1/4 inch FPT connection.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter following applicable IPC or IFGC code requirements for the system type. Depressurize and isolate the piping system completely before removing or installing any threaded fittings. Apply appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male threads before assembly. Do not over-tighten threaded connections, as this can damage threads on stainless fittings.
