Value Collection 4HB1*3/8 Pipe Bushing 1x3/8 in 304 Ss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 4HB1*3/8 is a threaded pipe bushing designed to reduce a 1-inch female pipe thread down to a 3/8-inch male pipe thread in a single fitting. Constructed from 304 stainless steel, this Schedule 40 bushing provides corrosion resistance in a wide range of fluid and gas piping applications. It is rated for 150 psi service pressure and measures 1-1/16 inches in length. The MNPT x FNPT connection style allows it to thread directly into standard pipe fittings without additional adapters. Plumbers, pipefitters, and mechanical contractors install this type of bushing during system assembly or retrofit work requiring a pipe size reduction.

This bushing is suited for use in residential and light commercial plumbing, HVAC condensate and refrigerant piping support lines, and industrial process piping where a stainless steel material is specified for corrosion resistance or sanitary requirements. Its Schedule 40 wall thickness and threaded construction make it compatible with standard NPT piping systems. The 304 stainless steel grade performs well in water, mild chemical, and general-purpose service environments where carbon steel would be prone to oxidation.

Key Features

• 304 stainless steel construction for corrosion resistance in wet and chemical environments
• Schedule 40 wall thickness for standard-pressure service
• 150 psi pressure rating suitable for most residential and light commercial piping systems
• MNPT x FNPT threaded ends for tool-ready, no-weld installation
• 1-1/16 inch length keeps the fitting compact within tight pipe assemblies
• Reduces 1-inch pipe to 3/8-inch pipe in a single fitting

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for standard NPT threaded pipe systems requiring a 1-inch to 3/8-inch reduction in 304 stainless steel at Schedule 40 service ratings.

Installation Notes

Shut off and depressurize the piping system completely before removing or installing any threaded fittings. Apply thread sealant tape or pipe compound to the male threads before assembly, following applicable IPC or IFGC guidelines for the service medium. Use a pipe wrench or strap wrench sized appropriately for the fitting to avoid deforming the stainless steel body. Do not overtighten, as stainless steel threads can gall if excess torque is applied without proper lubrication.
