Description

This Steel Reducing Hex Bushing is designed for mid-to-high pressure industrial plumbing, equipment customization, and commercial pressure washing setups. Rated for up to 2,000 PSI, this carbon steel fitting offers superior strength and durability compared to standard brass, making it an excellent choice for environments subject to heavy mechanical stress and vibration.

Key Specifications

• Connection Type A: 3/4″ MPT (Male Pipe Thread – Outer)

• Connection Type B: 1/2″ FPT (Female Pipe Thread – Inner)

• Material: High-Strength Carbon Steel

• Pressure Rating: 2,000 PSI (Maximum Working Pressure)

• Design: Hex Head Reducer Bushing

Product Highlights

• Robust 2,000 PSI Rating: Engineered from solid carbon steel to handle demanding fluid transfer, water supply, and low-to-mid pressure discharge applications safely.

• Low-Profile Reduction: The flush bushing design threads almost completely inside a 3/4″ female port, allowing you to downsize to a 1/2″ connection without extending your plumbing stack or adding unnecessary bulk.

• Vibration Resistant: Carbon steel provides excellent tensile strength and fatigue resistance, preventing thread stripping or cracking near vibrating engines and pumps.

• Corrosion-Resistant Plating: Coated with a protective zinc plating to shield the steel from rust, moisture, and chemical exposure in rugged wash environments.

• Heavy-Duty Hex Head: Designed with a thick, precision-machined hex nut shoulder that provides a large, slip-free surface area for high-torque tightening with a wrench.

Common Applications

• Pump Inlet Adaptation: Reducing 3/4″ manifold or filter ports down to 1/2″ to accommodate smaller supply lines or specialty valves.

• Buffer Tank Plumbing: Adapting 3/4″ bulkhead outputs on water storage tanks to match 1/2″ plumbing configurations.

• Unloader & Bypass Line Modifying: Stepping down larger plumbing ports on industrial skids to integrate standard 1/2″ bypass hoses or relief valves.

• Hydraulic & Pneumatic Systems: Safe routing for compatible oils, air, and water lines in industrial machinery.
