Hex Bushing 1" x 1/4
This hex bushing reduces a 1-inch female NPT opening to a 1/4-inch male NPT connection. It is built for plumbing systems that require a secure transition between different pipe sizes. The aluminum construction provides corrosion resistance in water and air lines. Installers working with Class 150 piping will find it matches the required schedule.
Sustained Pressure Performance
The fitting withstands a maximum pressure of 300 psi at 150 degrees Fahrenheit and handles saturated steam up to 150 psi. Its temperature range extends from -20 to 150 degrees Fahrenheit for continuous operation. FM Approved and UL Listed certifications confirm compliance with safety standards under prolonged load. ASME B 16.3 compliance ensures dimensional reliability over time.
FNPT x MNPT Connection Type
The critical specification is the FNPT x MNPT thread configuration, which determines compatibility with existing pipe threads. This bushing connects a female NPT inlet to a male NPT outlet in a single piece. Verifying that both ends match your system's thread standard is essential before purchase.

Questions about this item
Will the 300 psi rating hold when the system runs continuously at 150 °F?
The bushing is rated for 300 psi at 150 °F and 150 psi for saturated steam, so it maintains its pressure rating during all-day operation at the top of its temperature range.
What thread standards must my existing pipe and fitting meet to connect to the FNPT x MNPT ends?
The bushing follows ASME B 16.3 dimensions, so both the female NPT and male NPT threads will mate with any pipe or fitting made to that same standard.
Can I thread this aluminum Class 150 bushing directly into an older steel fitting without galling?
Aluminum on steel can gall; using thread sealant or tape and avoiding over-tightening reduces the risk when joining this bushing to existing steel components.
