USA Manufactured MNPTxFNPT Black Cast Iron Pipe Hex Bushing
USA Manufactured MNPT x FNPT Black Cast Iron Pipe Hex Bushing
A USA Manufactured MNPT x FNPT Black Cast Iron Pipe Hex Bushing is a compact threaded reducing fitting designed to connect a larger female-threaded pipe opening to a smaller male-threaded pipe, fitting, valve, gauge, or accessory. Manufactured in the United States from durable black cast iron, this bushing provides reliable strength, accurate thread engagement, and long-lasting performance in commercial, industrial, and institutional piping systems.
The MNPT x FNPT configuration features male National Pipe Thread on the exterior and female National Pipe Thread on the interior. The external male threads install into a larger FNPT connection, while the smaller internal female threads accept a compatible MNPT component. This efficient design reduces pipe size without requiring additional couplings or reducers, helping conserve space and simplify piping layouts.
Hex-Shaped Body for Easier Installation
The hexagonal body provides flat wrenching surfaces for controlled tightening during installation. This design helps installers apply torque evenly while reducing the risk of damaging the fitting. Proper thread sealant or approved PTFE tape should be used according to system requirements to support a secure, leak-resistant threaded connection.
Black cast iron offers excellent rigidity, dimensional stability, fire resistance, and dependable wear performance. USA manufacturing supports consistent quality control, properly formed NPT threads, reliable dimensions, and compatibility with specified cast iron or threaded piping components.
