STZ Industries 3/4 in. MIP to 1/4 in. FIP Black Malleable Iron Hex Bushing is built to reliably connect and reduce pipe threads in demanding environments. This compact hex bushing converts a 3/4 in. male iron pipe thread (MIP) to a 1/4 in. female iron pipe thread (FIP), giving you a simple, sturdy solution for inline connections without multiple adapters.
Designed for durability and ease of use, this bushing is molded from malleable iron and finished in a protective black coating. Its hex shape means you can tighten securely in tight spaces with a standard wrench, reducing the risk of cross-threading and ensuring a solid seal in challenging installations.
Why this hex bushing stands out
-
Precise reduction in a single fitting: 3/4 in. MIP on one end to 1/4 in. FIP on the other, eliminating the need for extra adapters and leak points.
-
Malleable iron construction: Durable, impact-resistant, and capable of withstanding everyday industrial and residential use.
-
Black finish for corrosion resistance: Helps protect the fitting in typical indoor and outdoor environments.
-
Hex design for easy installation: Flat surfaces provide solid grip, making it easier to thread into tight spaces or awkward angles.
-
Reliable pressure and temperature ratings: Rated up to 300 psi and 150 °F, suitable for many plumbing, HVAC, and light industrial applications.
-
Lead-free construction: Aligns with safe plumbing practices for many potable-water-related projects.
-
Convenient packaging: Bagged for organized storage and straightforward handling on job sites.
Ideal use scenarios
- Hydronic heating and cooling systems where a porting reduction is needed without heavy fittings.
- Residential and commercial water lines requiring a compact 3/4 in. to 1/4 in. transition.
- Industrial equipment installations where space is limited and secure, leak-tight connections matter.
- Repairs or retrofits that call for a quick, reliable adapter between different thread sizes.
