It transitions from a 3\/8 in Male NPTF on one end to a 1\/4 in Male NPTF on the other, with an overall length of 1.448 inches. Constructed from 316 stainless steel, this fitting is rated to 7,800 psi and can withstand temperatures up to 1,000 degrees F. The hex body profile allows a wrench to seat securely during installation. Licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and HVAC technicians install this fitting in compressed air, hydraulic, fuel, and process piping applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis reducing hex nipple is suited for both commercial and industrial piping installations where corrosion resistance and high-pressure integrity are required. The 316 stainless steel construction makes it appropriate for environments exposed to moisture, mild chemicals, or elevated temperatures. It is part of the SS5404 Series Hex Pipe Nipple line and conforms to ANSI\/ASME B1.20.1 dimensional standards, making it a reliable drop-in component in systems built to that specification.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eReduces from 3\/8 in Male NPTF to 1\/4 in Male NPTF in a single compact fitting\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e316 stainless steel construction for corrosion resistance in demanding environments\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRated to 7,800 psi for high-pressure service\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eTemperature rating up to 1,000 degrees F\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHex body profile for positive wrench grip during installation and removal\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eConforms to ANSI\/ASME B1.20.1 dimensional standards\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for piping systems using 3\/8 in and 1\/4 in Male NPTF threaded connections conforming to ANSI\/ASME B1.20.1 standards.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter following applicable code requirements, including IPC and IFGC provisions where relevant. Depressurize and isolate the line before removing or installing any threaded fitting. Apply appropriate thread sealant rated for the service medium and pressure; do not overtighten, as stainless steel threads can gall. Confirm all connections are leak-tested before returning the system to service.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConnection Size 1\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\/8 in\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConnection Type 1\u003c\/strong\u003e: Male NPTF\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConnection Size 2\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/4 in\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConnection Type 2\u003c\/strong\u003e: Male NPTF\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\/8-18 x 1\/4-18\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.448 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePressure Rating\u003c\/strong\u003e: 7,800 psi\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTemperature Rating\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1,000 degrees F\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: 316 Stainless Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimension Standard\u003c\/strong\u003e: ANSI\/ASME B1.20.1\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.0875 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeries\u003c\/strong\u003e: SS5404\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: MIDLAND INDUSTRIES\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: SS5404-06-04\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"MIDLAND INDUSTRIES","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67948919062834,"sku":"SS5404-06-04","price":16.87,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/94babec1e146594928b9b83bb9ced2f7_606084af-c77e-4fe3-b031-a15b1fe94e32.jpg?v=1791676618","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/midland-industries-ss5404-06-04-reducing-hex-nipple-nptf","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
