Value Collection 6HB1*1/2 Pipe Bushing 316 Ss 1x1/2 in

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 6HB1*1/2 is a threaded pipe bushing designed to reduce a 1-inch female port down to a 1/2-inch male connection. Constructed from 316 stainless steel, this fitting offers strong resistance to corrosion and chemical exposure, making it suitable for demanding fluid and gas transfer applications. The MNPT x FNPT thread configuration allows direct installation into standard NPT pipe systems. Rated to 150 psi at Schedule 40 service conditions, this bushing is installed by licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and mechanical contractors working on industrial, commercial, or marine piping assemblies.

This bushing is used wherever a pipe or valve port needs to be stepped down from 1 inch to 1/2 inch in an NPT threaded system. Common install scenarios include process piping, fluid handling systems, pump manifolds, and corrosive-environment plumbing where stainless steel material grades are specified. Its 316 stainless construction makes it a preferred choice in coastal, marine, chemical plant, and food-service environments where 304 stainless may not provide sufficient corrosion resistance.

Key Features

• 316 stainless steel construction for enhanced corrosion and chemical resistance
• MNPT x FNPT threaded ends for direct connection into standard NPT pipe systems
• 150 psi pressure rating at Schedule 40 service conditions
• Reduces 1-inch female port to 1/2-inch male connection
• Suitable for marine, industrial, and corrosive-environment piping applications

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for Schedule 40 NPT threaded pipe systems requiring a 1-inch to 1/2-inch reduction in 316 stainless steel.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable mechanical codes such as the IPC or ASME B31.3. Depressurize and isolate the line completely before removing or installing any threaded fittings. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male threads before assembly. Do not over-torque stainless steel fittings, as galling of the threads can occur.
