Midland Industries 67511 Hex Bushing 1 in Mpt X 3/8 in Fpt

Product Description

The MIDLAND INDUSTRIES 67511 is a black steel hex bushing used to reduce a 1-inch male pipe thread (MPT) connection down to a 3/8-inch female pipe thread (FPT) connection. Manufactured from steel with a black finish, this fitting is rated for 150/300 psi service and conforms to ASME B16.14 - 1991 dimensional standards. The 1-11-1/2 x 3/8-18 thread specification and 1.31-inch hex size allow for standard wrench installation. Plumbers, pipefitters, and mechanical contractors use this type of reducer bushing when connecting smaller-diameter threaded pipe or components to a larger-diameter threaded port.

This hex bushing is suited for black steel pipe systems in residential and commercial applications including natural gas distribution, compressed air lines, and general plumbing service where a threaded reduction is required. The external hex design allows wrench engagement directly on the fitting body, making it practical for tight spaces and inline installations where access to the pipe run is limited.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable codes such as the IFGC or IPC. Apply an approved thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male threads before assembly. Do not overtighten, as this can crack or distort the fitting body. Shut off and depressurize the system completely before removing or installing any threaded pipe fitting.
