Midland Industries 63558 Reducer Hex Bushing 1-1/4 Mpt X 1/8 Fpt

Product Description

The MIDLAND INDUSTRIES 63558 is a reducer hex bushing designed to step down from a 1-1/4 inch male pipe thread (MPT) connection to a 1/8 inch female pipe thread (FPT) connection. Constructed from 316 stainless steel, this fitting delivers reliable corrosion resistance in demanding plumbing, industrial, and fluid handling applications. It carries a 150 lb pressure class rating with a working pressure of 300 psi and conforms to ASME B1.20.1 thread dimensional standards. The hex body allows for standard wrench engagement during installation, making this a straightforward, professional-grade fitting for tight thread transitions.

This reducer hex bushing is suited for use in 150-pound fitting systems where a significant pipe size reduction is required in a single fitting. It is commonly installed in plumbing, process piping, and industrial fluid systems where stainless steel is specified for corrosion resistance or sanitary requirements. The 1/8-27 thread specification on the smaller end ensures precise thread engagement with compatible FPT ports and instrumentation taps.

Key Features

• Steps down from 1-1/4 inch MPT to 1/8 inch FPT in a single fitting
• 316 stainless steel construction for superior corrosion resistance
• 150 lb pressure class rated to 300 psi working pressure
• Conforms to ASME B1.20.1 thread dimensional standards
• 1/8-27 thread on the FPT end for precise thread engagement
• Hex body design accepts standard wrench for secure installation

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for 150-pound stainless steel pipe fitting systems using NPT-threaded connections per ASME B1.20.1.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or qualified pipefitter in accordance with applicable IPC or IFGC requirements. Shut off and depressurize the system completely before removing or installing any fittings. Apply appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male threads before assembly. Do not over-torque; snug wrench-tight is sufficient for threaded stainless steel fittings to avoid galling.
