Value Collection 6HB21/2X2 Stainless Steel Hex Bushing Npt

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 6HB21/2X2 is a stainless steel hex bushing designed to reduce pipe thread sizes within NPT-threaded piping systems. A hex bushing threads into a larger female NPT port and accepts a smaller male NPT fitting, allowing technicians to transition between pipe sizes without additional adapters or couplings. The hex profile provides secure wrench engagement for proper torque and leak-free installation. Constructed from stainless steel, this bushing resists corrosion in wet, chemical-exposure, and high-humidity environments common to mechanical rooms, process piping, and utility systems. Licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and HVAC mechanics install this type of fitting as part of routine service and new construction work.

This hex bushing is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing, HVAC piping, and industrial process lines where NPT-threaded connections are the standard. It is a practical solution when a component with a smaller male NPT port must be installed into a system tapped for a larger female NPT connection. The stainless steel construction makes it appropriate for applications where carbon steel or brass fittings would face accelerated corrosion, including potable water-adjacent systems and outdoor or coastal installations.

Key Features

• Stainless steel construction for corrosion resistance in wet and chemical-exposure environments
• Hex body profile allows standard wrench engagement for secure, leak-free make-up
• NPT end connections on both male and female ports for compatibility with standard threaded pipe systems
• Compact form factor suitable for tight installation spaces
• Single-piece, sold individually with a minimum order quantity of 1

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for NPT-threaded piping systems requiring a hex bushing reducer.

Installation Notes

This fitting is typically installed by licensed plumbers or pipefitters. Shut off system pressure and drain the line before making or breaking any threaded connection. Apply thread sealant tape or paste rated for the service fluid to all male NPT threads before assembly. Tighten to hand-tight plus the appropriate number of turns using a pipe wrench on the hex body — do not over-tighten stainless steel threads, as galling can occur.
