Value Collection 6HB11/4*1/2 Pipe Bushing 316 Ss Mnpt Fnpt

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 6HB11/4*1/2 is a Schedule 40 pipe bushing designed to reduce a 1-1/4 inch male NPT connection down to a 1/2 inch female NPT port. Fabricated from 316 stainless steel, this bushing resists corrosion in wet, chemical-exposed, and marine environments. The MNPT x FNPT configuration threads directly into standard NPT fittings without additional adapters. Plumbers, pipefitters, and mechanical contractors use this type of reducer bushing when transitioning between pipe sizes in pressurized fluid or gas distribution systems. The 316 alloy grade provides superior chloride resistance compared to 304 stainless, making it a practical choice for process piping, coastal installations, and potable water systems where long-term durability is a priority.

This bushing is suited for residential and commercial piping applications where a threaded pipe size reduction is required. Typical install scenarios include water supply lines, compressed air headers, steam lines, and chemical process piping. The MNPT x FNPT end connections are compatible with standard NPT-threaded pipe and fittings. Schedule 40 wall thickness meets common pressure requirements for general-purpose piping systems. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters are the typical trade professionals who specify and install this fitting.

Key Features

• 316 stainless steel construction for superior corrosion and chloride resistance
• Reduces 1-1/4 inch MNPT to 1/2 inch FNPT in a single fitting
• Schedule 40 rated for general-purpose pressurized piping
• Standard NPT threads on both ends for broad fitment
• Compact hex body for wrench engagement during installation

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style threaded reducer bushing for use in standard NPT piping systems requiring a 1-1/4 inch to 1/2 inch size reduction.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable plumbing codes such as the IPC or local authority requirements. Shut off and depressurize the line before removing or installing any threaded fittings. Apply appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male threads before assembly. Do not overtighten; use a pipe wrench or adjustable wrench with steady torque to seat the threads without stressing the fitting body.
