Stainless Steel Bushing
Product Details
Product Introduction
Stainless steel bushings, also known as reducing joints (hexagonal internal and external threaded joints), are generally made by cutting and forging hexagonal bars. There are many types of threads used. The stainless steel hex bushing is a pipe fitting with internal and external threads, used to connect two sections of pipes with different diameters. It plays an irreplaceable role in pipe connections.
Applications of Bushings
ss bushings are widely used in various industries, including large domestic power plant supporting projects, seawater, steam, cold water, hot water, oxygen, drinking water, refrigeration, oil, natural gas, medical gases, wastewater treatment projects, municipal engineering, chemical, petrochemical, metallurgy, fertilizer, paper-making, pharmaceuticals, and more.
When to Use Bushings?
Stainless steel bushings are used when a pipe needs to change diameter. For example, if a DN15 pipe needs to be reduced to a DN20 pipe. The DN15 pipe is an external threaded pipe, connected to the internal threaded end of a cast stainless hex bushings. The DN20 pipe is an internal threaded pipe, connected to the external threaded end of the stainless steel hex bushing. If the DN20 pipe is an external threaded pipe, an internal thread reducer can be connected between the DN20 external threaded pipe and the threaded steel bushing. Threaded connections allow easy connection to any water appliance or valve, and are commonly used in both industrial and residential settings to change pipe diameters by connecting internal and external threads.
Difference Between Bushings and Reducing Elbows

A stainless steel bushing has one internal thread and one external thread, and it can also have socket connections and threaded connections based on the situation.
A reducing elbow (reducer pipe), on the other hand, has internal threads on both ends.
Product Parameters
◎ Conforms to ASTM A351 CF8M grade. Made from 304/316 stainless steel, offering better corrosion and rust resistance.
◎ One external NPT threaded end and one internal NPT threaded end.
◎ Threaded ends make installation easier, creating a tighter connection without the need for welding.
◎ With a working pressure of up to 150 PSI, it is ideal for low-pressure, non-critical, and low-cost applications.
