Key Features
1.Superior Anti-corrosion & Rust-proof Performance
Standard ASTM SS304 stainless steel material features stable resistance to oxidation, fresh water, oil and weak acid erosion. The fitting maintains long service life whether deployed in food processing, water treatment or outdoor marine pipeline environments.
2.Leakproof Precision Tapered Thread & Conical Seal
Accurately machined NPT/BSPT dual-standard inner‑outer tapered threads deliver tight threaded meshing between different pipe diameters. Matched conical sealing surfaces realize reliable connection without extra gaskets, achieving stable zero leakage under long-term pipeline operation.
3.Smooth Caliber Transition For Pipeline Size Matching
Professional reducing structure connects pipelines of two different specifications directly. It greatly facilitates pipe diameter conversion during system renovation and project construction, saving plenty of on‑site construction time with no need for extra transition parts.
4.Smooth Inner Cavity To Reduce Medium Flow Resistance
Polished seamless inner surface avoids medium turbulence and flow loss. Compatible with standard threaded steel pipes, no extra transition fittings required to accelerate field installation.
5.Broad Usage Scenarios With Flexible OEM Options
Widely applicable for food industry, chemical facilities, water supply, shipbuilding and heating piping systems. Regular dimensions from 1/2" to 4" are stocked in bulk; customized wall thickness, laser logo engraving and bespoke dimension machining are all available.

Every bushing is manufactured with tight dimensional tolerances. The inner‑outer thread reducing structure with matched conical sealing surfaces effectively guarantees stable sealing performance and prevents medium leakage during long‑term service under various operating environments.
Materials and Surface Treatments
1.Main Body Raw Material
Standard ASTM SS304 stainless steel features outstanding rust resistance and anti‑corrosion capability against water, oil, gas and weak acid media. It delivers stable performance for food, chemical, water treatment and marine pipeline systems, perfectly fitting pipeline caliber transition layouts.
2.Surface Finish
Uniform pickling & passivation treatment forms a compact passive anti‑corrosion layer to defend against rust, moisture and mild chemical media, granting dependable service for industrial pipelines both indoors and outdoors. Natural matte finish, mirror polishing are all available as per customer demands.
3.Connection Processing
Inner‑outer NPT/BSPT standard tapered threads are precision machined. The evenly cut thread profile enables tight threaded mating between different pipe diameters. Cooperated with precision conical metal‑to‑metal sealing structure, it forms leakproof connections for long‑term fluid transport.
Standards and Certifications

Installation Instructions
- Thread Pre-treatment: Clean NPT/BSPT threaded sections as well as mating pipe threads, get rid of rust, oil stains and burrs before assembly.
- Position Alignment: Apply proper thread sealant evenly, screw the reducing bushing into matching pipe threads and keep it aligned without skew.
- Controlled Torque Fastening: Tighten the fitting with suitable torque. Avoid over-tightening that may cause thread deformation or sealing surface damage.
- Pressure Leak Test: Carry out pressure testing after installation to verify perfect sealing of threaded joints and conical mating surfaces.
- Periodic Inspection: Regularly check threaded connection areas to sustain long-term safety of piping networks.
Follow industrial threaded piping specifications and local safety standards during installation work.

FAQ
Q:Can this 304 stainless steel threaded reducing bushing be buried underground?
A: Extra external anti-corrosion protection is mandatory for underground buried installation. Direct burial without protective treatment will greatly shorten the service life of the reducing bushing fitting. Custom anti-corrosion protection solutions can be provided on request.
Q: What is the standard installation method for this stainless steel threaded reducing bushing?
A: Apply qualified thread sealant evenly on matching threads, screw the reducing bushing onto corresponding pipes with proper torque. Avoid excessive tightening that may damage threads or conical sealing surfaces, so as to achieve long-term leakproof connection.
Q: Can it withstand pipeline thermal expansion?
A: This fitting is a rigid connection component. We recommend installing expansion joints for long-distance pipelines with large temperature fluctuation ranges to absorb thermal deformation stress.
Q:Is it compatible with different steel pipes?
A: It perfectly matches standard pipes with corresponding NPT/BSPT thread specifications. Please confirm matching thread sizes and pipe wall thickness prior to formal assembly work.
Q:Why choose 304 stainless steel threaded reducing bushing instead of carbon steel pipe fittings?
A:ASTM SS304 material delivers excellent rust resistance and anti-corrosion capability against water, oil, gas and weak acid media. Precision matched conical sealing structure enables convenient repeated disassembly, making it ideal for food, water treatment, marine and corrosive medium piping systems.
