Hex reducing bushing in brushed 304 stainless steel, large male end tapering to smaller female end

Value Brand

Value Brand 304 Stainless Steel Hex Reducing Bushing 1-1/2 in x 3/4 in

SKU CH-8MH6-MNHER

Hex reducing bushing connects 1-1/2 in male NPT to 3/4 in female NPT, 304 stainless steel rated 3000 psi

  • 304 stainless steel resists corrosion in demanding fluid systems
  • Male 1-1/2 in and female 3/4 in NPT threads join mismatched pipe sizes
  • Hex profile allows standard wrench tightening for secure, leak-resistant joints
  • Rated to 3000 psi and 2500 psi steam at specified conditions
  • Conforms to ASTM A182, ANSI/ASME B1.20.1 and ASME B16.11 standards

Product Identity

The Value Brand 304 Stainless Steel Hex Reducing Bushing connects a 1-1/2 inch male NPT pipe to a 3/4 inch female NPT pipe. It is intended for plumbers and maintenance technicians who need a corrosion-resistant transition between different pipe diameters in fluid or steam systems.

Installation Notes

The hex profile allows standard wrench engagement for tightening. Threads are 11 1/2 TPI on the male side and 14 TPI on the female side, requiring matching NPT counterparts to seal properly. Misaligned threads or omitted sealant are the most common causes of leaks during assembly.

Standard Limits

The fitting conforms to ASTM A182, ANSI/ASME B1.20.1, and ASME B16.11. It is rated for 3000 psi general pressure and 2500 psi steam pressure at specified conditions. Buyers needing higher pressure ratings or non-NPT thread forms should select a different component.

Highlights

  • 304 stainless steel resists corrosion in demanding fluid systems

Questions about this item

How can I confirm the bushing is sealing correctly after threading it onto 1-1/2 in male NPT and 3/4 in female NPT?

Pressurise the joint up to 3000 psi or 2500 psi steam and check for leaks; a properly tightened hex bushing to 11 1/2 TPI and 14 TPI threads should hold without weeping.

What comes with the fitting and is any sealant or tool supplied?

The box contains only the 304 stainless steel hex reducing bushing; thread sealant and a wrench for the hex flats must be purchased separately.

Which standard should I match when choosing between available bushings — ASTM A182, ANSI/ASME B1.20.1 or ASME B16.11?

All three apply: ASTM A182 covers the 304 stainless material, B1.20.1 governs the 11 1/2 and 14 TPI NPT threads, and B16.11 defines the pressure class up to 3000 psi.
