Legend Valve 416-495 1-1/2 in x 1-1/4 in SS316 Hex Bushing FNPT x MNPT 290 equipment

SKU CH-6J3F-RZ3EH

Reduces a 1-1/2 inch FNPT fitting to 1-1/4 inch MNPT using 316 stainless steel hex bushing for corrosion resistance

  • Connects 1-1/2 in to 1-1/4 in pipe with FNPT x MNPT threads
  • 316 stainless steel body resists corrosion in harsh fluid systems
  • Hex profile allows secure wrench engagement for leak-free installation
  • Rated for 290 service in industrial plumbing applications
  • Brand-new component from Legend Valve ready for immediate use

Application & Fit

This 316 stainless steel hex bushing connects a 1-1/2 inch female NPT port to a 1-1/4 inch male NPT thread. It suits industrial piping systems that require corrosion-resistant transitions between different pipe sizes. The fitting handles general fluid transfer duties in compatible environments.

Upgrade Path

The bushing replaces worn or mismatched reducers where a step-down from 1-1/2 inch to 1-1/4 inch NPT is needed. Switching to 316 stainless steel is worthwhile when the media or atmosphere attacks lesser alloys, or when the 290 rating aligns with the system design pressure.

Installation Notes

Thread the male end into the larger female port and the female end accepts the smaller male pipe. Use a wrench on the hex flats to avoid rounding. Apply PTFE tape or pipe dope on the male threads to seal properly. Over-tightening can crack the fitting or strip the threads. Verify chemical compatibility with the Prop 65 warning before service.

Questions about this item

What thread sizes must the female and male ports match for the 1-1/2 in x 1-1/4 in bushing?

The bushing has a 1-1/2 inch female NPT thread and a 1-1/4 inch male NPT thread, so both mating ports must use those exact NPT sizes.

Which sealing method is required when installing the 316 stainless steel hex bushing?

Apply PTFE tape or pipe thread sealant to the male NPT threads before tightening into the female port to prevent leaks.

When should the 316 stainless steel hex bushing be inspected or replaced?

Inspect the threads and sealing surfaces during routine system maintenance; replace the bushing if corrosion, thread damage or leakage appears.
