Constructed from 304 stainless steel, this Schedule 40 fitting delivers reliable corrosion resistance in both wet and dry service environments. Rated to 150 psi, it handles typical low-to-medium pressure fluid and gas distribution lines. The MNPT x FNPT thread configuration allows direct installation into tapped ports or female-threaded fittings without additional adapters. Plumbers, pipefitters, and HVAC technicians use this type of bushing to transition between pipe sizes within a threaded assembly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis bushing is suited for residential and light commercial piping systems where a reduction from 3\/8-inch to 1\/8-inch NPT is required. Common applications include water supply lines, compressed air distribution, instrumentation ports, and HVAC refrigerant or condensate piping where a size transition is needed at a tapped port or fitting connection. At 5\/8 inch in length, it fits in tight spaces without requiring additional straight pipe runs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e304 stainless steel construction provides corrosion resistance for wet, chemical-exposure, and outdoor service environments\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e150 psi pressure rating suits standard residential and light commercial piping applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMNPT x FNPT threaded ends allow tool-assisted installation without soldering or crimping\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSchedule 40 wall thickness meets standard pipe system requirements\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCompact 5\/8-inch length accommodates installations with limited clearance\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eReduces 3\/8-inch female port to 1\/8-inch male outlet for common instrumentation and branch line transitions\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for threaded pipe systems requiring a 3\/8-inch to 1\/8-inch NPT reduction in Schedule 40 stainless steel service.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation is performed by licensed plumbers or qualified pipefitters following applicable IPC and IFGC code requirements for the service type. Shut off and depressurize the line fully before removing or installing any threaded fitting. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male threads before assembly and tighten to snug plus a fraction of a turn using a pipe wrench — do not overtighten stainless steel threads, as galling can occur. Confirm rated working pressure of the full assembly does not exceed 150 psi.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFitting Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Bushing\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFitting Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\/8 x 1\/8 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial Grade\u003c\/strong\u003e: 304 Stainless Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEnd Connection\u003c\/strong\u003e: MNPT x FNPT\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConnection Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Threaded\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePressure Rating\u003c\/strong\u003e: 150 psi\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSchedule\u003c\/strong\u003e: 40\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength\u003c\/strong\u003e: 5\/8 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.01 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUNSPSC Code\u003c\/strong\u003e: 40175300\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: VALUE COLLECTION\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 4HB3\/8*1\/8\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"VALUE COLLECTION","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51695890235698,"sku":"4HB3\/8*1\/8","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/17f675013e07b64cebef08a40b10210e.jpg?v=1788339120","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/value-collection-4hb3-8-1-8-pipe-bushing-3-8-x-1-8-in-ss","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
