Value Collection 4HB3/4*1/2 Pipe Bushing 3/4 X 1/2 in 304 Ss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 4HB3/4*1/2 is a threaded pipe bushing designed to reduce a 3/4-inch male NPT connection down to a 1/2-inch female NPT connection in piping systems. Manufactured from 304 stainless steel, it offers solid corrosion resistance for use in demanding plumbing, HVAC, and industrial fluid-handling applications. The bushing carries a pressure rating of 150 psi and connects via standard MNPT x FNPT threading, making it a direct, no-modification fit into existing NPT-threaded piping runs. Plumbers, pipefitters, and HVAC technicians install this type of reducer bushing when downsizing supply lines or adapting components with mismatched port sizes.

This bushing is suited for residential and light commercial piping applications where a threaded 3/4-inch to 1/2-inch reduction is needed. Typical install scenarios include water supply lines, compressed-air distribution headers, hydronic heating systems, and general fluid-transfer piping. The 304 stainless steel construction makes it appropriate for mildly corrosive environments where carbon steel fittings would be unsuitable. It is sold individually and ships as a single-piece unit.

Key Features

• 3/4-inch MNPT to 1/2-inch FNPT threaded reduction in a single compact fitting
• 304 stainless steel construction for corrosion resistance in plumbing and HVAC service
• 150 psi pressure rating suitable for standard residential and light commercial piping
• Standard NPT threading for compatibility with common pipe and fitting stock
• Weighs approximately 0.104 pounds for easy handling during installation

Compatibility

Designed as a standard NPT-threaded reducer bushing for use in any 3/4-inch to 1/2-inch MNPT x FNPT piping application rated at or below 150 psi.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter following applicable IPC or local plumbing code requirements. Shut off and depressurize the piping system completely before removing or installing any threaded fittings. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male threads before assembly, and hand-tighten before applying wrench torque to avoid cross-threading. Do not exceed the 150 psi pressure rating in service.
