Southland 521-910HC Black Hex Bushing 1/4x1/8 Inch

Product Description

The SOUTHLAND 521-910HC is a black hex bushing designed to connect two threaded pipes of different sizes. It reduces a 1/4-inch female thread to a 1/8-inch male thread, making it a standard reducer fitting in gas and fluid piping assemblies. The hex profile allows for wrench engagement during installation, ensuring a secure, leak-resistant connection. Licensed tradespeople and experienced DIYers install this type of fitting in low-pressure piping systems handling lubricating oils, grease, LP gas, and fuel. Its black iron construction suits applications where galvanized or brass fittings are not specified.

This hex bushing is suited for use in residential and light commercial settings where reducing pipe thread sizes is required. Common install scenarios include gas line branch connections, oil distribution lines, and grease fittings in mechanical assemblies. This fitting is not designed or rated for potable water applications and should not be used in domestic water supply lines.

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation reducer bushing for threaded iron pipe systems carrying LP gas, lubricating oil, grease, or fuel where a 1/4-inch to 1/8-inch NPT reduction is required.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or gas fitter where required by local code. Shut off all gas or fluid supply and relieve system pressure before removing or installing any fitting. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape rated for the media being carried - confirm sealant compatibility with LP gas or fuel before use. Do not overtighten; use the hex profile and a properly sized wrench to achieve a firm, leak-free seat without stressing the threads.
