Stainless Steel Threaded Hexagon Bushings – Ship Pipe Fittings

These stainless steel threaded hexagon bushings are essential pipe fittings for connecting different pipe sizes in marine and offshore applications. Manufactured from high-grade AISI 304/316 stainless steel, they offer superior corrosion resistance against saltwater, chemicals, and harsh maritime environments. The hexagon body provides a secure grip for easy installation and removal, while precision-cut NPT or BSP threads ensure a tight, leak-proof connection.

Commonly used in shipbuilding and repair, these reducing bushings adapt male-to-female threaded connections, simplifying pipeline layouts in engine rooms, ballast systems, and hydraulic lines. As part of our comprehensive ship chandler supply under IMPA code 732581, these bushings meet rigorous marine standards and are available in a wide range of sizes to suit various piping requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions

What thread types are available for these hexagon bushings?

These bushings are available with both NPT and BSP tapered threads. NPT is common on U.S.-built vessels, while BSP is widely used internationally. Please specify the required thread standard when ordering.

Are these bushings suitable for seawater applications?

Yes, the AISI 316L grade provides enhanced resistance to chloride-induced corrosion, making them ideal for seawater, salt spray, and humid marine atmospheres.

How do I determine the correct size for my piping system?

Measure the outer diameter of the male thread and the inner diameter of the female socket. Our technical team can help you choose the correct reduction ratio from 1/8\" to 2\" standard sizes.

Can these bushings be used for high-pressure hydraulic lines?

Yes, depending on the size and temperature, these bushings are rated up to 3000 psi. For extreme hydraulic applications, confirm the pressure rating with our engineers.
