Southland 521-954HN Black Hex Bushing 1x3/4 Inch

Product Description

The SOUTHLAND 521-954HN is a black hex bushing designed to connect two pipes of different diameters in a threaded piping system. Hex bushings are a compact, reliable solution for reducing from a larger female thread to a smaller male thread without the need for couplings or adapters. This fitting handles a range of applications including lubricant, oil, grease, LP gas, and fuel transport lines. Weighing approximately 0.23 pounds, it is a lightweight yet durable component used by plumbers, pipefitters, and mechanical contractors in both residential and commercial installations.

This bushing is suited for use in gas distribution lines, hydraulic and lubrication systems, and general industrial piping where a 1 inch to 3/4 inch threaded reduction is required. It is also applicable for workshop fabrication and custom piping projects where black iron fittings are the standard choice. This fitting is not designed for potable water applications and should not be used in domestic water supply systems.

Key Features

• Reduces from 1 inch female thread to 3/4 inch male thread in a single compact fitting
• Hex body design allows for wrench engagement and secure, leak-resistant installation
• Suitable for LP gas, fuel, oil, grease, and lubricant service lines
• Black iron construction for use in non-potable fluid and gas piping applications
• Sold individually with a minimum order quantity of one

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style threaded replacement fitting for standard 1 inch x 3/4 inch black iron pipe systems in residential and commercial gas, fuel, and lubrication applications. Not compatible with potable water systems.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable local codes, including IFGC requirements for gas piping systems. Shut off all gas or fluid supply and relieve system pressure before disassembly or installation. Apply appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape rated for the service fluid before engaging threads. Do not over-tighten; use a properly sized pipe wrench on the hex body to achieve a secure connection without cracking the fitting.
