Product introduction
Hex Head Bushing Technical Overview
A Hex Head Bushing is a specialized pipe fitting designed to provide a transition between different pipe thread sizes while offering secure wrenching surfaces for installation. This fitting features a hexagonal head at its larger diameter end, allowing for easy tightening with standard wrenches, and typically has male threads on the outer surface with female threads on the inner bore.
The bushing serves as an efficient adapter in piping systems, enabling connections between components with mismatched thread sizes. Its most common configuration includes NPT (National Pipe Thread) or BSPT (British Standard Pipe Taper) threads, though metric thread versions are also available. The hexagonal head design provides superior torque application capability compared to straight or round bushings, making it particularly suitable for applications requiring secure, tight seals in medium-pressure systems.
Manufactured from various materials including carbon steel (ASTM A105), stainless steel (ASTM A182), brass, and bronze, Hex Head Bushings accommodate diverse service conditions. Carbon steel versions are widely used in industrial and oil/gas applications, while stainless steel variants excel in corrosive environments. Brass bushings find common use in water systems and plumbing applications.
Key advantages of the Hex Head Bushing include:
Secure installation due to wrench-friendly hexagonal profile
Space-efficient design compared to using multiple adapters
Reliable pressure containment when properly installed
Reusability for maintenance and system modifications
Installation requires proper thread preparation including cleaning and application of suitable sealant (PTFE tape or thread compound). The bushing should be hand-tightened initially, followed by final tightening with a wrench - typically 1-1.5 turns past hand-tight for NPT threads. Care must be taken to avoid over-torquing, which could damage threads or distort the fitting.
Quality Hex Head Bushings comply with industry standards such as ASME B16.11 for dimensional requirements and relevant ASTM material specifications. For critical services, they may undergo additional testing including hydrostatic pressure tests and material verification.
These fittings find extensive use in:
Hydraulic and pneumatic systems
Process piping installations
Pump and valve connections
General plumbing applications
Industrial equipment piping
Specialized versions may include:
Corrosion-resistant coatings
Locking features for vibration-prone applications
Metric thread combinations
High-pressure designs with reinforced walls
The Hex Head Bushing remains a fundamental component in piping systems worldwide, offering a practical solution for thread adaptation while maintaining system integrity and ease of maintenance.
