Whirlpool 69029109041 Hex Bushing 1-1/2 X 1/4 in A105

Product Description

The WHIRLPOOL 69029109041 is an A105 carbon steel hex bushing fitting designed to reduce a 1-1/2 inch female pipe thread to a 1/4 inch male pipe thread. Hex bushings are used to connect pipes or fittings of different sizes within a threaded piping system. The A105 material designation indicates a forged carbon steel construction rated for use in pressure piping applications. This fitting is typically installed by licensed plumbers or pipefitters working on commercial and industrial fluid or gas distribution systems.

This hex bushing is suited for residential and commercial plumbing, steam, and process piping applications where a threaded size reduction is needed in-line. The forged carbon steel construction makes it appropriate for use in higher-pressure and higher-temperature systems where malleable iron or plastic fittings would not meet code or engineering requirements. It threads directly into a 1-1/2 inch female port and accepts a 1/4 inch male threaded connection on the outlet end.

Key Features

• A105 forged carbon steel construction for pressure piping service
• Hex body profile allows wrench engagement for proper torque and sealing
• Reduces 1-1/2 inch female NPT to 1/4 inch male NPT in a single fitting
• Suitable for steam, water, oil, and gas piping systems where carbon steel is specified
• Compact inline design minimizes installation space compared to a reducer coupling and nipple combination

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style threaded hex bushing for standard NPT female-to-male pipe thread reduction applications in carbon steel piping systems.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable local codes and the International Plumbing Code or International Fuel Gas Code as required. Depressurize and drain the system completely before removing or installing any threaded fittings. Apply an appropriate thread sealant compound or PTFE tape to the male threads before assembly. Do not over-tighten; use the hex body and a properly sized wrench to achieve a secure, leak-free connection without stressing the fitting or mating port.
