  • Meets ASTM-A-182 material and ASME B16.11 dimensional standards
  • Reduces 3/8 inch MNPT to 1/4 inch FNPT connections

304 Stainless Steel Hex Reducing Bushing

This Value Brand fitting connects a 3/8 inch male NPT thread to a 1/4 inch female NPT thread. It is machined from 304 stainless steel for corrosion resistance in fluid and steam lines. The Class 3000 rating suits high-pressure piping systems. Industrial maintenance crews and plumbing professionals use it to adapt pipe sizes in tight spaces.

Class 3000 pressure rating

The fitting withstands 3000 psi at 100 degrees F and 2500 psi steam pressure at 350 degrees F. Material conforms to ASTM A182 and threads meet ANSI/ASME B1.20.1 and ASME B16.11. These standards ensure the bushing holds seal integrity under rated loads without additional sealant specifications.

Verify thread compatibility

Confirm the existing piping uses NPT threads matching the 3/8 inch male and 1/4 inch female ends. Ensure system operating pressure and temperature stay within the 3000 psi and 350 degree F limits. The hex body allows standard wrench engagement, but check clearance for installation tools before ordering.

Questions about this item

Will the 304 stainless steel threads need replacement from galling or corrosion under normal plumbing use?

The 304 stainless steel construction resists galling and corrosion better than carbon steel, so thread replacement is rarely needed unless the fitting is overtightened or exposed to harsh chemicals outside its material rating.

What pressure or temperature limit will be reached first if this bushing runs continuously at the 3000 psi rating?

At 3000 psi the temperature limit is 100 °F; sustained operation above that temperature requires reducing pressure toward the 2500 psi steam rating at 350 °F, so temperature usually becomes the limiting factor first.

How much heat does the fitting itself generate when fluid flows through it all day at 3000 psi?

The bushing is a passive component with no moving parts or electrical resistance, so it generates no measurable heat of its own; any temperature rise comes only from the fluid passing through it.
