BRASS REDUCING BUSHING

BA-B BRASS REDUCING BUSHING (Brass Hex Reducing Bush)

This component is a compact fitting used to change the size of a connection point, allowing a smaller pipe to connect to a larger port.

Function/Use: A pipe fitting used to connect pipes or fittings of different sizes. It is primarily used to reduce the thread size of a larger female-threaded opening so it can accept a smaller male thread.
Design: It is a hexagonal fitting, allowing for easy tightening and loosening with a wrench. It is characterized by having larger external male threads and smaller internal female threads.
Material: Brass.
Thread Type: Typically features a male tapered thread on the outside and a female thread on the inside. Common thread standards are BSPT or NPT.
Classification: Classified by the larger Male thread size on the outside diameter (OD) and the smaller Female thread size on the inside diameter (ID) (e.g., 1/2" x 1/4" Bushing).
Working Conditions: Suitable for low-pressure line connections.
- Working Pressure: 150 - 200 psi.
- Temperature Range: $- 5 3^{\circ} C$ to $12 1^{\circ} C$ .
Advantage: It saves space compared to a bell reducer because most of the bushing fits inside the female pipe thread.
