Construction Details
SCI Heavy Pattern Class 150 hex bushings are manufactured from cast stainless steel. The 304 stainless steel version uses ASTM A351 Grade CF8 material, while the 316 stainless steel version uses ASTM A351 Grade CF8M.
The bushing combines a larger male NPT connection with a smaller female NPT connection, providing a compact method for reducing between compatible threaded pipe sizes.
The integral hex-shaped body provides wrench flats for controlled installation and removal without requiring a separate coupling and reducer combination.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a 150# stainless steel hex bushing used for?
It is used to reduce from a larger female-threaded connection to a smaller compatible male-threaded pipe or fitting.
What figure numbers identify this hex bushing?
SCI identifies the heavy-pattern hex bushing as FIG S3114HB for 304 stainless steel and FIG S3116HB for 316 stainless steel.
What stainless steel grades are available?
The hex bushing is available in 304 stainless steel ASTM A351 CF8 and 316 stainless steel ASTM A351 CF8M configurations.
What type of connections does this bushing use?
The hex bushing combines a larger male NPT connection with a smaller female NPT connection.
What standard applies to the NPT threads?
The NPT threads conform to ASME B1.20.1.
Why does the bushing have a hex-shaped body?
The hex-shaped section provides wrench flats for controlled tightening and removal during installation or maintenance.
Is 150# the same as a 150 PSI working pressure?
No. Class 150 identifies the fitting pressure class and should not be interpreted as a universal 150 PSI working-pressure rating.
What should I confirm before ordering?
Confirm both connection sizes, stainless steel grade, NPT requirements, process media, and system operating conditions.
Important Ordering & Installation Notes
- Confirm both required connection sizes.
- Select 304 or 316 stainless steel.
- Verify service compatibility.
- Use suitable thread sealant.
- Avoid excessive thread torque.
