Value Collection 6HB1*3/8 Pipe Bushing 316 Ss Mnpt X Fnpt

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 6HB1*3/8 is a threaded pipe bushing designed to reduce a 1-inch female pipe thread to a 3/8-inch male pipe thread in a single fitting. Machined from 316 stainless steel, it provides strong resistance to corrosion and oxidation in demanding service environments. The MNPT x FNPT connection type threads directly into standard pipe fittings without additional adapters. Rated to 150 psi and built to Schedule 40 specifications, this bushing suits a range of industrial, plumbing, and process piping applications. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this fitting as a straightforward size reduction solution in threaded piping systems.

This bushing is used in residential and commercial plumbing, HVAC condensate and process piping, and light industrial fluid systems where a reduction from 1-inch to 3/8-inch pipe size is required. Its 316 stainless steel construction makes it a practical choice for environments with moisture, mild chemicals, or corrosive media. The overall length of 1-1/16 inches keeps the installed footprint compact in tight mechanical spaces.

Key Features

• 316 stainless steel construction resists corrosion in wet and chemically active environments
• MNPT x FNPT threaded connection for tool-only installation with no special fittings required
• 150 psi pressure rating suitable for standard plumbing and process piping service
• Schedule 40 wall thickness for consistent thread engagement and mechanical strength
• Compact 1-1/16-inch length minimizes space requirements in tight installations
• Reduces 1-inch pipe to 3/8-inch pipe in a single fitting with no additional adapters

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-install component for threaded Schedule 40 pipe systems requiring a 1-inch to 3/8-inch reduction in stainless steel construction.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter following applicable IPC and local plumbing code requirements. Shut off and depressurize the piping system fully before removing or installing any threaded fittings. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male threads before assembly. Do not over-tighten stainless steel threaded fittings, as galling can occur; use hand-tight plus a controlled number of turns with a pipe wrench.
