Whirlpool 69029109033 Hex Bushing 1x1/2 Inch Npt Carbon Steel

Product Description

The WHIRLPOOL 69029109033 is a forged carbon steel hex bushing designed to reduce a 1-inch NPT female connection down to a 1/2-inch NPT male connection. This type of fitting is a standard reducing bushing used in piping systems to transition between two different pipe sizes within the same threaded line. The hex head measures 1-3/8 inches across flats, providing a secure grip point for a wrench during installation. Domestically manufactured using the forged method, this bushing delivers consistent thread quality and structural integrity suited for industrial and commercial piping applications.

This hex bushing is used in forged pipe fitting assemblies where a size reduction is needed between threaded pipe runs. Typical applications include plumbing, HVAC, and mechanical piping systems where NPT fittings are standard. The 1 x 1/2 inch nominal sizing makes it a common reduction fitting in both new construction and retrofit service work. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters are the primary installers for this type of component.

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement for standard NPT forged pipe fitting applications requiring a 1 x 1/2 inch hex bushing reduction in carbon steel piping systems.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable local plumbing codes and IPC guidelines. Shut off and depressurize the piping system completely before removing or installing any threaded fittings. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male NPT threads before assembly. Do not over-torque, as this can damage the threads or the connected pipe.
