1 inch x 3/4 inch Stainless Steel Hex Head Bushing Male x Female

1" x 3/4" Stainless Steel Hex Head Bushing – Threaded Reducing Fitting for High-Performance Connections

The 1" x 3/4" Stainless Steel Hex Head Bushing is a precision-machined, corrosion-resistant fitting designed to reduce pipe sizes in threaded systems. Fabricated from 304 stainless steel, this bushing ensures mechanical strength and chemical resistance, making it suitable for demanding industrial and commercial plumbing applications.

Featuring male NPT threads on the larger end and female NPT threads on the reduced end, this component allows for efficient integration into fluid handling systems while maintaining pressure integrity and minimizing turbulence at the transition point.

Key Features

• ✅ Material: 304 Stainless Steel – Offers high corrosion resistance in potable water, compressed air, and chemical applications.
• ✅ Hexagonal Head Profile – Provides a solid wrenching surface for easier installation and torque control in confined spaces.
• ✅ Thread Type: NPT (National Pipe Taper) threads for reliable, pressure-tight joints in metal piping systems.
• ✅ Precision Threads – Manufactured to ASME B1.20.1 specifications for compatibility and secure engagement.
• ✅ Lead-Free Certification – Suitable for use in potable water systems in compliance with Safe Drinking Water Act (SDWA) requirements.

Application Suitability

• ✅ Ideal for reducing male pipe thread connections in water distribution, gas systems, and chemical transport lines.
• ✅ Compatible with stainless, brass, and galvanized steel threaded fittings and nipples.
• ✅ Commonly deployed in food-grade, pharmaceutical, mechanical, and marine environments where corrosion resistance is critical.

Technical Specifications

• Size: 1" Male NPT x 3/4" Female NPT
• Material: 304 Stainless Steel
• Connection Type: Threaded NPT – both ends
• Standards: ASME B16.11, ASTM A182, NSF/ANSI 61 (lead-free certification)

Installation Considerations

Use of PTFE thread sealant or joint compound is recommended during installation to ensure a tight, leak-proof seal. Always torque to manufacturer specifications to avoid damage or deformation. This bushing should be installed by professionals in pressurized systems, especially where safety or code compliance is critical.

Did You Know?

Stainless steel’s chromium content allows it to self-passivate, forming a thin oxide layer that resists oxidation and surface degradation even in aggressive environments.

The 1" x 3/4" Stainless Steel Hex Head Bushing provides contractors and system designers with a durable and versatile solution for adapting pipe sizes without sacrificing flow integrity or safety. Its robust design and proven material properties make it a dependable choice in high-performance mechanical systems.
