Value Collection 4HB11/4*1/4 Pipe Bushing 304 Ss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 4HB11/4*1/4 is a threaded pipe bushing used to reduce a 1-1/4 inch female port down to a 1/4 inch male connection. Constructed from 304 stainless steel, it resists corrosion in both wet and chemical-exposure environments. The bushing features a male NPT (MNPT) outer thread and a female NPT (FNPT) inner thread, following Schedule 40 dimensions with a pressure rating of 150 psi. It measures 1-3/16 inches in length and weighs approximately 0.01 pounds. Plumbers, pipefitters, and mechanical contractors install this type of fitting when transitioning between pipe sizes in threaded piping systems.

This bushing is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing, HVAC piping, and industrial process lines where a threaded reduction is required. It is appropriate for applications demanding corrosion resistance, such as water service, chemical handling, or outdoor installations where carbon steel fittings would be prone to rust. The 304 stainless steel construction makes it a common choice in food-service adjacent, marine, or coastal environments. It ships as a single unit and is compatible with standard NPT-threaded pipe and fittings at the same schedule rating.

Key Features

• 304 stainless steel construction for corrosion resistance in wet and chemical environments
• MNPT x FNPT end connections for fully threaded installation without welding or soldering
• 150 psi pressure rating suitable for low- to medium-pressure piping systems
• Schedule 40 dimensions for compatibility with standard pipe wall thicknesses
• Compact 1-3/16 inch length for use in tight installations

Compatibility

Designed as a standard threaded pipe bushing for use with 1-1/4 inch NPT female ports reduced to 1/4 inch NPT male connections in Schedule 40 threaded piping systems.

Installation Notes

This fitting is installed by licensed plumbers or pipefitters in accordance with applicable plumbing codes such as the IPC. Before installation, shut off and depressurize the line. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male threads before making up the connection hand-tight, then wrench-tighten to a leak-free fit. Do not overtighten stainless steel threaded fittings, as galling on the threads can make disassembly difficult.
