Value Collection 4HB11/2X3/4 Ss Hex Bushing Npt

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 4HB11/2X3/4 is a stainless steel hex bushing designed to reduce pipe thread connections in plumbing, HVAC, and industrial piping systems. This fitting uses NPT (National Pipe Taper) threads on both the male and female ends, transitioning from a 1-1/2 inch male NPT connection down to a 3/4 inch female NPT connection. The hex body allows for secure wrench engagement during installation. Weighing 0.33 pounds, this is a compact, durable reducer fitting suited for applications where corrosion resistance and reliable thread sealing are required. Plumbers, pipefitters, and mechanical contractors commonly install this type of fitting in both residential and commercial systems.

This hex bushing is appropriate for use in water supply lines, compressed air systems, hydronic heating loops, and other NPT-threaded piping assemblies. The stainless steel construction makes it suitable for wet, corrosive, or sanitary environments where carbon steel fittings would be inadequate. It is sold individually and is ready for direct installation into existing threaded pipe runs requiring a 1-1/2 inch to 3/4 inch reduction.

Key Features

• Stainless steel construction provides corrosion resistance in wet and harsh environments
• NPT threads on both male and female ends for compatibility with standard tapered pipe thread systems
• Hex body design allows secure grip with a pipe wrench or adjustable wrench during makeup
• Reduces from 1-1/2 inch male NPT to 3/4 inch female NPT in a single compact fitting
• Sold as a single unit with no minimum order beyond one piece

Compatibility

Designed as a standard NPT hex bushing for use in any threaded pipe system requiring a 1-1/2 inch to 3/4 inch reduction where NPT-threaded stainless steel fittings are specified.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed plumbers or pipefitters working on threaded piping systems. Shut off and depressurize the system completely before removing or installing any threaded fitting. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male NPT threads before makeup; do not overtighten, as stainless steel threads can gall if forced. Work in accordance with applicable plumbing codes such as the IPC or local equivalents.
