Value Collection 4HB1*1/4 Pipe Bushing 1x1/4 in Ss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 4HB1*1/4 is a threaded pipe bushing designed to reduce a 1-inch female pipe thread connection down to a 1/4-inch male pipe thread. Constructed from 304 stainless steel, this Schedule 40 bushing delivers solid corrosion resistance in wet, chemical-exposed, or outdoor environments. It carries a 150 psi pressure rating and connects via standard MNPT x FNPT threading, making it a reliable choice for plumbing, fluid handling, and instrumentation piping systems. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this type of fitting when a pipe run or equipment port requires a step-down thread reduction without additional adapters.

This bushing is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing, instrumentation lines, compressed air systems, and process piping where a 1-inch to 1/4-inch thread reduction is needed. The 304 stainless steel construction makes it appropriate for applications involving water, mild chemicals, or environments where carbon steel fittings would corrode prematurely. It fits into standard Schedule 40 threaded pipe systems and is commonly used at equipment connections, gauge ports, and branch line takeoffs.

Key Features

• 304 stainless steel construction resists corrosion in wet and mildly corrosive environments
• MNPT x FNPT connection type for straightforward threaded installation
• 150 psi pressure rating suitable for standard low-pressure plumbing and fluid systems
• Schedule 40 wall thickness for compatibility with standard threaded pipe fittings
• 1 x 1/4 inch reducing configuration eliminates need for additional adapters
• Compact profile at approximately 1-1/16 inches in length

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-install fitting for Schedule 40 threaded pipe systems requiring a 1-inch to 1/4-inch MNPT x FNPT reduction in 304 stainless steel.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter. Shut off and depressurize the pipe system fully before removing or installing any threaded fitting. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male threads before assembly. Do not overtighten stainless steel fittings, as galling of the threads can occur; use a pipe wrench with controlled torque.
