Description
316 Stainless Steel 150# Threaded Hex Bushing - SP114
Charman 316 Stainless Steel SP114 Threaded Hex Bushings provide a compact threaded transition between different nominal pipe sizes. Manufactured from 316 stainless steel, these bushings feature a larger male threaded connection and a smaller female threaded connection for adapting compatible threaded piping components.
The SP114 Hex Bushing family shown here includes thirty connection combinations ranging from 1/4" x 1/8" through 4" x 3". The hex-shaped body provides wrenching surfaces for installation while the reducing configuration allows a larger threaded opening to accept a smaller threaded component.

What Is an SP114 Threaded Hex Bushing?
A 316 stainless steel SP114 threaded hex bushing is a reducing fitting designed to transition from a larger female-threaded connection to a smaller male-threaded piping component. The larger outside connection is male threaded while the smaller internal opening is female threaded.
The hex-shaped center section provides flat wrenching surfaces for tightening and removal. This compact design makes the fitting useful where a threaded piping connection needs to be reduced without using a larger multi-fitting assembly.
Why Choose a 316 Stainless Steel SP114 Threaded Hex Bushing?

Available SP114 Hex Bushing Configurations
The 316 Stainless Steel 150# Threaded Hex Bushing - SP114 is available in thirty connection combinations ranging from 1/4" x 1/8" through 4" x 3". Each configuration has its own Charman part number for accurate selection and ordering.
Because every hex bushing uses two nominal dimensions, always confirm both the larger male-threaded connection and the smaller female-threaded connection before ordering.
How to Read a Hex Bushing Size
Larger Connection
- Listed first
- Male threaded connection
- Represents the larger pipe size
- Threads into the receiving component
- Must match the larger female-threaded opening
Smaller Connection
- Listed second
- Female threaded connection
- Represents the reduced pipe size
- Accepts the smaller male-threaded component
- Both connection dimensions should be confirmed before ordering
Hex Bushing vs. Reducing Coupling
SP114 Hex Bushing
- Compact fitting body
- Male x female threads
- Hex wrenching surfaces
- Threads directly into a larger opening
- Reduces to a smaller female-threaded connection
SP114 Reducing Coupling
- Straight fitting body
- Two female threaded openings
- Connects two threaded components
- Available as a separate Charman fitting
- Provides a straight transition between unequal pipe sizes
Where a Charman SP114 Hex Bushing Makes Sense
- For threaded size transitions
- During piping repair or modification
- Where a compact reducer fitting is preferred
- Where 316 stainless steel construction is appropriate
- For compatible plumbing, industrial, and process piping systems
- When a larger female-threaded opening must accept a smaller male-threaded component
Installation & Selection Considerations
- Confirm both required thread sizes before ordering.
- Match the larger male thread to the receiving connection.
- Inspect all threaded surfaces for damage or contamination.
- Use a thread-sealing method appropriate for the intended piping system.
- Verify pressure, temperature, media, material, and installation requirements before use.
Product Selection Considerations
Connection Combination
Select the exact SP114 Hex Bushing configuration required by the piping system. The first dimension identifies the larger male-threaded connection and the second dimension identifies the smaller female-threaded opening.
System Requirements
Confirm both mating threads, piping material, service media, pressure, temperature, sealing requirements, and applicable installation conditions before selecting a hex bushing.
Review the Charman Inc stainless steel fittings specification sheet for product and dimensional information on the SP114 threaded hex bushing, or use the complete stainless steel fittings catalog to compare available fitting styles, configurations, and sizes before ordering.

Frequently Asked Questions
What material is the SP114 Hex Bushing?
Charman identifies this fitting family as 316 stainless steel.
Are these hex bushings threaded?
Yes. These SP114 Hex Bushings use a larger male thread and a smaller female threaded opening.
How many configurations are included?
This listing contains thirty SP114 Hex Bushing size combinations.
Why are two sizes listed for each hex bushing?
The first dimension identifies the larger male-threaded connection and the second dimension identifies the smaller female-threaded connection.
What does a threaded hex bushing do?
A threaded hex bushing reduces a larger female-threaded opening so it can accept a smaller compatible male-threaded component.
Why does the fitting have a hex-shaped body?
The hex-shaped body provides flat wrenching surfaces for tightening and removal during installation and maintenance.
Where can I review Charman stainless steel fitting information?
The Charman Stainless Steel Fittings Spec Sheet and Complete Catalog are linked directly above for additional product and fitting information.
What should I confirm before ordering?
Confirm both connection sizes, thread compatibility, material requirements, pressure, temperature, media, and installation conditions before ordering.
Important Ordering & Installation Notes
- Thirty size combinations are included.
- Match both hex bushing connection sizes before ordering.
- Confirm male and female thread compatibility before installation.
- Review the supplied Charman documents for additional fitting information.
- Verify material, pressure, temperature, media, sealing, and installation requirements before service.
