Legines Brass Bushing Pipe Fitting Hex Connector NPT Thread

Description

Product Overview

The Legines brass bushing is a precision-engineered pipe fitting designed to connect two pipes with different diameters seamlessly. It features 3/8″ male NPT threads on one end and 1/4″ female NPT threads on the other, ensuring a secure and leak-free connection. Crafted from high-grade CA360 or CA377 brass, not ordinary copper alloy, this fitting meets SAE standards and includes dryseal threads, forgings, and extruded construction for superior durability. With an operating pressure of up to 1200psi and a temperature range from -53 to 121 degrees Celsius (-65 to 250 degrees Fahrenheit), it excels in demanding environments. The hex design allows for easy installation with standard tools, and its gold brass exterior finish resists corrosion. Available in multiple size options like 3/8×1/4, 1/2×1/8, and 3/4×1/2, this fitting is ideal for industrial, plumbing, and mechanical systems where reliability is critical. Note that it contains lead and is not suitable for potable water applications in the U.S.A.

Usage

This brass bushing is perfect for industrial settings, plumbing installations, and mechanical systems that require adapting pipe sizes. It is commonly used in HVAC systems, hydraulic applications, and general plumbing where connecting pipes with different diameters or thread types is necessary. The target audience includes professional plumbers, industrial maintenance teams, and DIY enthusiasts working on non-potable water systems, such as irrigation, compressed air lines, or machinery fluid transport. Its robust design makes it suitable for high-pressure environments in manufacturing plants, automotive repair shops, and construction sites, ensuring long-lasting performance without leaks.
