Hex Bushing 3/8" x 1/4" FNPT x MNPT

This hex bushing reduces a 3/8 inch male NPT thread to a 1/4 inch female NPT thread. It is made from malleable iron for durability in plumbing systems. The fitting suits installers needing a straight-threaded reducer for pipe connections.

Class 150 Pressure Rating Performance

Rated for Class 150 service, the bushing handles sustained pressure in standard piping applications. Malleable iron construction resists deformation under continuous load. The threaded design maintains a secure seal during extended operation.

Verify Thread Compatibility Before Ordering

Confirm your existing pipes use NPT threads matching the 3/8 inch male and 1/4 inch female sizes. This fitting does not suit metric, BSP or compression-threaded systems. Buyers needing a different thread standard or a larger reduction ratio cannot use this item.

Questions about this item

How much heat does the malleable iron bushing generate when fluid runs through it all day?

The iron body produces no heat of its own; temperature will follow the fluid and ambient conditions.

What thread sealant or tape do I need to install the 3/8" MNPT end?

Standard NPT thread sealant or PTFE tape is required on the male threads for a leak-free joint.

Will the 1/4" FNPT side accept the same pipe nipples I already use on other Class 150 fittings?

Yes, the female NPT threads follow the same standard as other Class 150 malleable iron fittings.
