Value Collection 4HB1/4*1/8 Pipe Bushing 1/4 X 1/8 in Ss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 4HB1/4*1/8 is a threaded pipe bushing designed to reduce a 1/4-inch female port down to a 1/8-inch male connection. Constructed from 304 stainless steel, it offers solid corrosion resistance in wet, chemical-exposed, or outdoor environments. The MNPT x FNPT thread configuration makes installation straightforward using standard pipe wrenches or thread-sealing tape and compound. Rated to 150 psi, this bushing suits low-to-medium pressure lines in plumbing, HVAC, and general industrial piping applications. It weighs 0.022 pounds and ships as a single unit.

This bushing is a standard fitting used by plumbers, pipefitters, and HVAC technicians when a pipe run requires a reduction from a 1/4-inch female threaded port to a 1/8-inch male outlet. Common applications include instrument taps, gauge ports, control line connections, and branch line reductions in both residential and light commercial systems. The 304 stainless steel material makes it suitable for potable water, steam, and mild chemical service where carbon steel fittings are not appropriate.

Key Features

• 304 stainless steel construction resists corrosion in wet and chemical-exposed environments
• MNPT x FNPT threaded ends for tool-accessible, seal-tape-compatible installation
• 150 psi pressure rating suitable for low-to-medium pressure piping systems
• Reduces 1/4-inch female port to 1/8-inch male connection in a single fitting
• Compact and lightweight at 0.022 pounds for use in tight spaces or instrument panels

Compatibility

Designed as a standard-pattern threaded pipe bushing for use in any 1/4-inch FNPT to 1/8-inch MNPT reduction application across plumbing, HVAC, and industrial piping systems.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter. Shut off system pressure and bleed the line before removing or installing any threaded fitting. Apply PTFE tape or pipe thread compound to the male threads before making up the connection. Do not overtighten stainless steel fittings, as galling can occur and may damage threads permanently.
