It features a male x female thread configuration that steps down pipe size without adding length to the system. The hex head profile accepts standard wrenches for fast, secure installation. Built to a heavy-pattern design, this bushing handles working pressures from 150 to 300 psi and suits everyday plumbing and piping applications. The fitting ships individually and is sold as a single unit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis hex bushing is intended for use in residential and light commercial piping systems where a threaded size reduction is required inline with existing fittings. It is commonly installed by licensed plumbers and pipefitters in gas, water, and steam-rated piping configurations within the rated pressure range. The compact design makes it well suited for tight spaces where a standard coupling or union would add unwanted length. Tradespeople working to IPC or IFGC standards will find this bushing appropriate for code-compliant threaded piping assemblies.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e3\/8 inches male x 1\/8 inches female NPT threads step down pipe size without extending run length\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e150 lb heavy-pattern malleable iron construction rated 150-300 psi working pressure\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHex head design allows installation and removal with standard pipe wrenches or hex tooling\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eConforms to ASME B16.3 dimensional standards and ASTM A197 material specifications\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eThreads per ASME B1.20.1 for consistent fit with standard NPT fittings\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFull lot traceability with material test reports available upon request\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eManufactured in an ISO-certified facility\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 standard 150 lb malleable iron threaded piping systems using NPT connections conforming to ASME B16.3.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable IPC or IFGC requirements. Depressurize and isolate the piping system completely before removing or installing any threaded fitting. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male threads before assembly. Do not overtighten; hand-tighten first, then use a pipe wrench to achieve a secure, leak-free connection without damaging the hex head.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Size (Male)\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\/8 inches NPT\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Size (Female)\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/8 inches NPT\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePressure Rating\u003c\/strong\u003e: 150-300 psi\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: Malleable Iron\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish\u003c\/strong\u003e: Black\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePattern\u003c\/strong\u003e: Heavy, 150 lb\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Standard\u003c\/strong\u003e: ASME B1.20.1 NPT\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensional Standard\u003c\/strong\u003e: ASME B16.3\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial Specification\u003c\/strong\u003e: ASTM A197\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePackage Quantity\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1 each\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.06 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePackage Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 6 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePackage Width\u003c\/strong\u003e: 4 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePackage Height\u003c\/strong\u003e: 4 inches\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: MSI PRODUCTS INC\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: A204000602\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"MSI PRODUCTS INC","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":68057145934130,"sku":"A204000602","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/43e615b2f3939da29616b833218ce18a_f176e7cb-571d-46ea-85ba-eca8b054724a.jpg?v=1793009520","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/msi-products-inc-a204000602-malleable-iron-hex-bushing","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
