Midland Industries 9001-16-08 Bspt Reducer Bushing

Product Description

The MIDLAND INDUSTRIES 9001-16-08 is a steel BSPT reducer bushing designed to transition between two British Standard Pipe Taper threaded connections of different sizes. The male end measures 1 inch with a 1-11 thread, and the female end measures 1/2 inch with a 1/2-14 thread. This bushing reduces the port size within a hydraulic or fluid system, allowing technicians to adapt larger-threaded ports or fittings down to a smaller downstream connection. Constructed from steel, it is suited for hydraulic plumbing applications where durability and thread integrity under pressure are required. Licensed plumbers, hydraulic system technicians, and mechanical contractors typically install this type of fitting.

This bushing fits within hydraulic system plumbing where BSPT threaded ports are specified. It is part of the 9001 Series of BSPT reducer bushings and is a standard component in steel adapter configurations used in industrial and mobile hydraulic systems. It is appropriate for applications requiring a reduction from a 1-inch male BSPT port to a 1/2-inch female BSPT connection, such as manifold blocks, pump ports, valve bodies, and similar hydraulic components requiring port size reduction.

Key Features

• 1-inch male BSPT inlet with 1-11 thread specification
• 1/2-inch female BSPT outlet with 1/2-14 thread specification
• Steel construction for hydraulic-rated durability
• Part of the 9001 Series BSPT reducer bushing line
• Compact dimensions suited for tight hydraulic panel or manifold installations

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style BSPT reducer bushing for hydraulic systems requiring a 1-inch male to 1/2-inch female British Standard Pipe Taper threaded port reduction in steel adapter applications.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or qualified hydraulic technician. Depressurize and isolate the hydraulic circuit fully before removing or installing any fittings. Use appropriate thread sealant rated for hydraulic service on BSPT threads. Inspect threads for damage before installation and do not overtighten, as steel BSPT threads can crack fittings or damage port threads if excessive torque is applied without verified thread engagement.
