1 in to 1/4 in Hex Reducing Bushing
This 304 stainless steel hex reducing bushing connects a 1 inch male NPT thread to a 1/4 inch female NPT thread. It is rated for Class 3000 service and Schedule 160 pipe. The fitting is designed for straight, threaded pipe connections in plumbing and industrial systems.
For high-pressure NPT pipe reductions
The bushing suits installers joining dissimilar pipe sizes in 304 stainless systems requiring Class 3000 pressure ratings. It is not for applications needing welded joints, flanged connections, or materials other than 304 stainless steel. Buyers requiring different thread standards or pressure classes should select another fitting.
Class 3000 pressure rating decides fit
This single specification confirms the bushing meets the required pressure class for the piping system. The 304 stainless construction provides corrosion resistance for compatible fluids. Verify the Class 3000 rating matches the system design before installation.

Questions about this item
Will the 304 stainless steel bushing resist corrosion when threaded into my existing galvanised pipework?
The 304 stainless construction resists rust and chemical attack better than plain steel, so it will not corrode quickly when mated with galvanised threads.
How can I confirm the Class 3000 rating is holding after I install the 1 in male by 1/4 in female bushing?
Pressurise the system to its working pressure and check for leaks at the 11.5 TPI male and 18 TPI female threads; no seepage means the Class 3000 seal is intact.
Does the package include thread sealant or a gasket for the 11.5 and 18 threads per inch connections?
Only the hex reducing bushing is supplied; you must buy PTFE tape or pipe dope separately to seal the 11.5 and 18 TPI threads.
