Value Collection 6HB2X11/4 Stainless Steel Hex Bushing Npt

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 6HB2X11/4 is a stainless steel hex bushing with NPT end connections, designed to reduce between two different pipe thread sizes within a plumbing or piping system. The hex body allows for standard wrench engagement, making installation and removal straightforward in tight installations. Fabricated from stainless steel, this bushing resists corrosion in demanding environments including potable water, chemical, and process piping applications. Plumbers and pipefitters install this type of fitting when transitioning between pipe sizes without the need for a full coupling or union assembly.

This hex bushing is suited for residential and commercial plumbing, industrial process lines, and HVAC hydronic systems where NPT-threaded connections are standard. Its stainless steel construction makes it a common choice in applications exposed to moisture, mild chemicals, or elevated temperatures where carbon steel fittings would be prone to corrosion. The compact hex profile fits into close-quarters installations where larger fittings would not be practical.

Key Features

• Stainless steel construction for corrosion resistance in wet and chemical environments
• NPT end connections for compatibility with standard threaded pipe systems
• Hex body design allows engagement with standard open-end or adjustable wrenches
• Compact form factor suitable for tight installation spaces
• Single-piece solid construction with no internal moving parts

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-install hex bushing for NPT-threaded pipe systems in plumbing, HVAC hydronic, and industrial piping applications.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable local plumbing codes and ASME B1.20.1 thread standards. Shut off and depressurize the line before removing or installing any threaded fitting. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male NPT threads before assembly. Do not over-torque, as stainless steel threads are susceptible to galling if forced dry or over-tightened.
