What this fitting is

The ZORO SELECT bushing is a forged-steel pipe reducer with a black oxide finish. It connects a 3/8-inch male NPT thread to a 1/4-inch female NPT thread, both at 18 threads per inch. The part is rated for Class 3000 service and ships new from the supplier.

The spec that decides fit

Both ends use NPT threads at 18 threads per inch, so the connection will seal only with matching NPT counterparts. The forged steel body handles the rated pressure class, but the thread pitch must match the mating components exactly.

Who this suits and who it does not

Plumbers and maintenance technicians reducing a 3/8-inch line to 1/4-inch NPT will find the correct thread form here. Buyers who need a different thread standard, a larger reduction step, or a material other than forged steel should look at other fittings.
