FAQ
This brass bushing is rated for pressures up to 3000 PSIG (20,700 kPa), making it suitable for high-pressure gas and fluid applications.
The bushing features a 1/2-inch NPT Male thread on the outside and a 1/4-inch NPT Female thread on the inside.
It is made of brass, which offers good corrosion resistance against water and atmospheric conditions, but compatibility should be checked for specific aggressive chemicals.
The bushing has a 7/8-inch hex body, so a 7/8-inch wrench or an adjustable wrench is required for installation.
Yes, this brass bushing is excellent for inert welding gases and is commonly used in gas distribution manifolds.
Yes, as with all NPT tapered thread connections, it is recommended to use Teflon tape or a suitable pipe thread sealant to ensure a leak-free seal.
While brass is generally compatible with oxygen, this specific item is sold as a general industrial fitting. For oxygen service, parts typically need to be specifically cleaned and bagged 'for oxygen service' to remove all hydrocarbons. Check the packaging or clean strictly before use with pure oxygen.
