304 & 316 Stainless Steel
304 Stainless Steel
304 stainless steel provides corrosion-resistant construction for a broad range of compatible industrial piping applications.
316 Stainless Steel
316 stainless steel provides enhanced corrosion resistance for compatible industrial and chemical applications where 316-grade material is required.
Hex Bushing Design
The reducing hex bushing combines a male NPT connection with a smaller female NPT connection, allowing a threaded opening to be reduced without requiring a separate reducing coupling. The external hex section provides wrench flats to assist with installation and removal.
Barstock Construction
These 1000# threaded fittings are manufactured from stainless steel barstock and conform to ASTM/ASME A182/SA182 and ANSI B16.11. Refer to the dimensional document below for fitting dimensions by size.
Corrosion Resistance
Stainless steel provides corrosion-resistant performance for demanding piping environments. The material resists corrosive attack from hundreds of industrial and chemical solutions and mixtures, making these hex bushings suitable for a broad range of compatible process applications.
Selection & Application Guidance
- Select the required male and female NPT sizes.
- Select 304 or 316 stainless steel based on application requirements.
- Verify material compatibility with the intended media and operating environment.
- Confirm pressure and temperature requirements for the piping system.
- Use an appropriate thread sealant compatible with the system media.
- Use the hex wrench flats for proper installation.
- Follow proper NPT engagement and tightening practices.

Frequently Asked Questions
What stainless steel grades are available?
These 1000# barstock hex bushings are available in 304 and 316 stainless steel.
What connections does the hex bushing have?
The hex bushing uses a male NPT connection on the outside and a smaller female NPT connection on the inside.
What is a hex bushing used for?
A hex bushing is used to reduce a threaded connection from a larger nominal pipe size to a smaller nominal pipe size.
Why does the bushing have a hex-shaped body?
The external hex section provides wrench flats that allow the fitting to be tightened or removed with an appropriate wrench.
What standards do these fittings meet?
The fittings conform to ASTM/ASME A182/SA182 and ANSI B16.11.
