Value Brand 1RTR1 Hex Reducing Bushing 316 Stainless Steel 1/2 in x 1/4 in

Hex Reducing Bushing 1/2 in x 1/4 in

This hex reducing bushing connects a 1/2 inch male NPT thread to a 1/4 inch female NPT thread. It is made from 316 stainless steel for corrosion resistance in plumbing and fluid-handling systems. The fitting is rated for Class 3000 service. It suits installers who need a durable, compact reducer for pipe-size transitions.

Replaces worn or mismatched threaded reducers

Swap this bushing in when an existing reducer shows corrosion, thread damage or leaks at the joint. The 316 stainless construction offers longer life than carbon steel or brass in aggressive fluids. The step-down from 1/2 in to 1/4 in is worth it when you must adapt a larger port to a smaller instrument or valve connection without adding extra fittings.

Verify thread type and pressure class before

Confirm that both ports use NPT threads and that the system pressure stays within the Class 3000 rating. Check that 316 stainless steel is compatible with the media in your application. Note the product carries a California Proposition 65 warning for chemicals known to cause cancer and reproductive harm. Ensure the male 1/2 in and female 1/4 in orientations match your piping layout.
