1-1/2 inch x 1-1/4 inch Stainless Steel Hex Head Bushing Male x Female

1-1/2 inch x 1-1/4 inch Stainless Steel Hex Bushing – Threaded Reducing Fitting

The 1-1/2 inch x 1-1/4 inch Stainless Steel Hex Bushing is engineered for reducing female pipe connections while maintaining structural integrity and corrosion resistance. Manufactured from 304 stainless steel, this fitting offers superior strength and durability in demanding mechanical and plumbing systems where dissimilar pipe sizes must be joined with precision.

Commonly used in industrial and commercial fluid handling systems, this hex bushing allows for direct transitions between pipe sizes, minimizing the need for additional components and reducing the risk of leakage. The external hex profile permits wrench tightening for controlled installation in tight or fixed piping configurations.

Typical Applications

This hex bushing is typically deployed in process piping, pump and valve assemblies, compressed air systems, chemical lines, and other installations requiring secure, size-reducing connections between NPT-threaded components.

Installation Guidance

Apply PTFE tape or approved thread sealant to male threads before installation. Use a properly sized wrench on the hex section to tighten into the receiving component. Avoid over-torquing to preserve thread engagement integrity. Confirm compatibility with adjoining materials and service media to prevent galvanic corrosion or seal failure.

The 1-1/2 inch x 1-1/4 inch Stainless Steel Hex Bushing is a reliable component for transitioning pipe diameters in high-performance environments. Precision-machined and made from corrosion-resistant 304 stainless steel, it supports long-term use in systems where durability and leak prevention are non-negotiable.
