Value Collection 6HB11/2*1 Pipe Bushing 316 Ss 1-1/2x1

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 6HB11/2*1 is a threaded pipe bushing designed to reduce a 1-1/2 inch female port down to a 1 inch male connection. Constructed from 316 stainless steel, this bushing offers strong corrosion resistance in wet, chemical-exposed, and marine environments. The male NPT outer thread connects into a female NPT fitting, valve, or pipe coupling, making it a standard reducing adapter in threaded piping systems. It carries a 150 psi pressure rating and conforms to Schedule 40 dimensions. Plumbers, pipefitters, and industrial maintenance technicians install this type of bushing when transitioning between pipe sizes without cutting or welding.

This bushing is suited for use in residential and commercial plumbing, process piping, chemical handling lines, and marine applications where standard carbon steel fittings would corrode. The 316 stainless steel material grade offers improved resistance to chlorides and acidic media compared to 304 stainless, making it a common choice in coastal installations, food-service environments, and anywhere salt water or harsh cleaning agents are present. The MNPT x FNPT end configuration is compatible with standard NPT threaded pipe and fittings throughout the system.

Key Features

• 316 stainless steel construction for superior corrosion resistance in harsh and wet environments
• MNPT x FNPT threaded ends for tool-applied, leak-resistant connections
• 150 psi pressure rating suitable for low-to-medium pressure piping systems
• Schedule 40 dimensions ensure compatibility with standard NPT threaded pipe fittings
• Reduces a 1-1/2 inch female port to a 1 inch male outlet in a single fitting

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for standard NPT threaded piping systems requiring a 1-1/2 inch to 1 inch reducing bushing in 316 stainless steel.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed plumbers or qualified pipefitters following applicable IPC or local plumbing codes. Shut off and depressurize the affected line before installing or removing any threaded fitting. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male threads before making up the joint; do not overtighten, as stainless steel threads are susceptible to galling. Inspect the mating female threads for damage or misalignment before assembly.
