316 Stainless Steel Hex Reducing Bushing

This 316 stainless steel hex reducing bushing connects a 3/8 in male NPT thread to a 1/4 in female NPT thread. It is rated for Class 3000 service in plumbing and industrial piping systems. The fitting suits installers who need a durable, corrosion-resistant transition between different pipe sizes.

Sustained pressure and corrosion resistance

The 316 stainless construction resists chemical attack and oxidation during continuous exposure to aggressive fluids or environments. Class 3000 rating confirms the fitting maintains structural integrity under steady operating pressures without deformation. The hex profile allows secure tool engagement for reliable, leak-free joints that hold over long service periods.

Verify thread compatibility

Confirm your system uses NPT threads with 18 threads per inch on both the 3/8 in male and 1/4 in female sides before ordering. This product carries California Proposition 65 warnings for chemicals known to cause cancer and reproductive harm. Buyers in affected jurisdictions should review local regulations before installing.

Questions about this item

Will the 316 stainless steel body resist corrosion when the fitting runs hot water all day?

The 316 stainless construction provides strong resistance to corrosion and heat, making it suitable for continuous hot-water service in a Class 3000 fitting.

What thread sealant or tape is needed to make the 3/8 in male NPT and 1/4 in female NPT connections leak-free?

Standard NPT thread sealant or PTFE tape on the 18-thread male end will seal the joint; the female end receives the mating male pipe.

Does the California Proposition 65 warning affect use with existing brass or copper pipe in the same system?

The warning covers chemical content in the fitting itself; it does not prevent mechanical compatibility with brass, copper or other NPT-threaded components.
