Msi Products Inc A304001206 Hex Bushing 3/4 X 3/8 Npt

Product Description

The MSI PRODUCTS INC A304001206 is a Class 150 hex bushing machined from 304 stainless steel, designed to reduce pipe size in threaded systems. It features male NPT threads on the 3/4-inch end and female NPT threads on the 3/8-inch end, creating a secure, leak-resistant transition between two pipe sizes. The hexagonal body allows tightening with a standard wrench, which is useful in tight or confined spaces. At 0.13 pounds, it is lightweight without sacrificing strength. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this fitting in commercial and industrial piping systems where corrosion resistance is a priority.

This bushing suits a wide range of applications including potable water lines, compressed air systems, food processing equipment, and light chemical handling installations. Its 304 stainless steel construction resists rust, oxidation, and general corrosion, making it appropriate for both indoor and outdoor environments where carbon steel or brass fittings may not meet material specifications. It is sold as an individual unit and is suited for residential, commercial, and light industrial piping systems where a threaded pipe reduction is required.

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for threaded piping systems requiring a 3/4-inch to 3/8-inch NPT reduction in 304 stainless steel at Class 150 service ratings.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable IPC and IFGC codes. Shut off and depressurize the system fully before removing or installing any threaded fittings. Apply thread sealant tape or paste rated for the intended service medium before threading the bushing into place. Do not overtighten, as this can crack threads on mating fittings or valves.
