Description
3000# Forged Steel Threaded Hex Bushing
3000# Forged Steel Threaded Hex Bushings provide a compact threaded reduction between two different nominal pipe sizes in demanding industrial piping systems. Manufactured from normalized forged carbon steel, these fittings combine a male threaded connection with a smaller female threaded connection.
The fittings conform to ASTM A105N-09, ASME SA105N, and ASME B16.11-2009. The normalized material provides enhanced hardness, strength, and machinability, and the manufacturing facility is ISO certified.

Forged Carbon Steel Construction
These 3000# threaded hex bushings are manufactured from forged carbon steel conforming to ASTM A105N-09 and ASME SA105N requirements. Forged construction provides the strength required for demanding industrial threaded piping applications.
Normalized Material
The forged steel material is normalized for enhanced hardness, strength, and machinability. This heat-treatment process supports the mechanical properties required for heavy-duty piping installations.
