Value Collection 6HB1/4*1/8 Pipe Bushing 1/4 X 1/8 in 316 Ss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 6HB1/4*1/8 is a threaded pipe bushing designed to reduce a 1/4-inch male pipe thread down to a 1/8-inch female pipe thread. Constructed from 316 stainless steel, it offers strong resistance to corrosion, chemicals, and high-moisture environments. The Schedule 40 construction supports a pressure rating of 150 psi, making it suitable for low- to medium-pressure piping systems. Plumbers, pipefitters, and mechanical contractors install this fitting when stepping down pipe sizes in threaded assemblies. Its MNPT x FNPT configuration allows direct thread engagement without additional adapters.

This bushing fits residential and light commercial piping applications where a threaded size reduction is needed inline. It is commonly used in water supply lines, instrumentation lines, chemical handling systems, and other fluid-conveyance assemblies where 316 stainless steel is specified for corrosion resistance. The compact form factor suits tight spaces in mechanical rooms, under sinks, and within equipment enclosures where a standard hex bushing profile is preferred.

Key Features

• 316 stainless steel construction for superior corrosion and chemical resistance
• MNPT x FNPT threaded connection — no special tooling beyond a pipe wrench required
• 150 psi pressure rating for low- to medium-pressure service
• Schedule 40 wall thickness for reliable thread engagement and durability
• Reduces 1/4-inch male pipe thread to 1/8-inch female pipe thread in a single fitting

Compatibility

Designed as a standard threaded hex bushing for use in Schedule 40 pipe systems requiring a 1/4-inch to 1/8-inch NPT reduction in 316 stainless steel.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed plumbers or pipefitters working on threaded piping systems. Shut off and depressurize the line completely before removing or installing any threaded fittings. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male threads per the system fluid and pressure requirements. Hand-tighten first, then use a pipe wrench to seat the fitting — avoid over-tightening, which can crack or deform threaded connections.
