Whirlpool 69029109036 Hex Bushing 1-1/4 X 3/8 in

Product Description

The WHIRLPOOL 69029109036 is a forged hex bushing fitting designed to reduce a 1-1/4 inch female threaded port down to a 3/8 inch male threaded connection. Manufactured to A105 carbon steel material standards, this fitting is built for high-integrity threaded piping assemblies. Hex bushings of this type are used to transition between pipe sizes within a threaded system without requiring additional nipples or couplings. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this type of fitting in a range of pressure piping applications where a compact, one-piece reduction is preferred over a two-piece assembly.

This fitting is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing, HVAC piping, and general industrial pipe systems where NPT threaded connections are standard. The 1-1/4 inch to 3/8 inch reduction is a common size used when connecting smaller instrumentation lines, gauge ports, or branch takeoffs to a larger main line. A105 carbon steel construction makes this fitting appropriate for water, steam, oil, and gas service within the pressure and temperature limits of the material grade.

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style threaded hex bushing for use in standard NPT threaded piping systems requiring a 1-1/4 inch to 3/8 inch size reduction.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed plumbers or pipefitters following applicable IPC or IFGC code requirements for the system type. Shut off and depressurize the piping system completely before removing or installing any threaded fitting. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to male threads per the system service requirements. Do not overtighten, as this can crack fittings or damage mating threads.
