Whirlpool 69029109042 Hex Bushing 1-1/2 X 3/8 in A105

Product Description

The WHIRLPOOL 69029109042 is a forged steel hex bushing fitting designed to reduce pipe thread connections from a 1-1/2 inch female inlet to a 3/8 inch male outlet. Manufactured to A105 carbon steel standards, this fitting is built for high-pressure and high-temperature service typical of industrial and commercial piping systems. The hex body allows for secure wrench engagement during installation. Plumbers and pipefitters rely on this type of forged bushing when transitioning between two pipe sizes within a threaded assembly.

This hex bushing is suited for use in threaded piping systems where a reduction between 1-1/2 inch and 3/8 inch connections is required. It is applicable in steam, water, oil, and gas distribution lines that call for A105 forged carbon steel components. The fitting is identified under the FS product line and is commonly installed in mechanical rooms, process piping, and HVAC hydronic systems where durable, code-compliant threaded reducers are specified.

Key Features

• Forged A105 carbon steel construction for pressure and temperature resistance
• Hex body profile allows standard wrench engagement for controlled torque during makeup
• 1-1/2 inch female inlet to 3/8 inch male outlet thread reduction in a single fitting

• FS product line designation consistent with forged steel fitting standards

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-install forged steel hex bushing for threaded piping systems requiring a 1-1/2 inch to 3/8 inch reduction in A105 carbon steel service.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed plumbers or pipefitters in accordance with applicable mechanical and plumbing codes. Shut off and depressurize the line completely before removing or installing any threaded fitting. Apply listed thread sealant or PTFE tape to male threads before makeup. Do not overtighten; follow standard practices for forged steel threaded fittings to avoid thread damage.
