Description:
- A Reducing Bush is a pipe fitting with external male threads and smaller internal female threads on the inside of the bushing.
Uses:
- A threaded reducer bushing, also referred to as a reducing bush, is used to reduce or increase a pipe thread size.
- It works through accommodating pipe ends of different diameters.
- They are often used to reduce the size of a female threaded opening to a smaller size.
- Can be used to connect two pipes of different sizes.
Advantages:
- Space saving, particularly when compared to a Bell Reducer.
Installation:
- To decrease the size of a female BSP thread, thread the external male BSP threads of the bushing into the female BSP thread.
- To increase the size of a male BSP thread, thread the internal female BSP thread onto the smaller sized male BSP thread.
Size Classification:
- These threaded bushings are classified according to larger male thread on the outside and by the smaller female threads on the inside.
- Usually the size of the pipe thread end will also corresponds to this size.
- For example: a 1" x 3/4" Bushing will have a 1" external male pipe thread and 3/4" internal female pipe thread.
Also known as:
- Hex Bushing
- Pipe Bushing
- Reducing Bush BSP
Alternate options:
- Bell Reducers which are also pipe reducers however instead of having male threads x female threads, they have female threads on either end.
Materials:
- Our reducing bushings are available in 304 & 316 stainless steel.
More Information:
The Stainless Steel reducing bush is an essential component in plumbing and piping systems, designed to adapt and connect pipes or fittings of different sizes. They are designed as male and female threaded in a single fitting. By facilitating a threaded step up or down, threaded bushings solve pipe sizing and space issues in various applications such as water supply lines, HVAC systems, and industrial processes. They are typically made from durable materials like stainless steel, chosen for their corrosion resistance and longevity. Whether used in residential, commercial, or industrial settings, the reducing bush plays a crucial role in maintaining the integrity and functionality of piping networks, enabling connections that enhance overall system performance.
