A Reducing Bushing may be small in size, but it plays a massive role in ensuring fluid and gas systems run smoothly and securely. This compact fitting is designed to connect pipes or fittings of different diameters, allowing seamless transitions between components of varying sizes without compromising flow integrity.
Crafted with internal and external threads, reducing bushings act as a bridge between a larger female-threaded fitting and a smaller male-threaded pipe. They’re widely used across plumbing, hydraulic, gas, and industrial systems for their unmatched adaptability, leak-tight connections, and efficient space-saving design.
Whether you’re downsizing a water line, connecting pneumatic tools, or retrofitting equipment in a high-pressure hydraulic circuit, reducing bushings provide the perfect solution for simplifying complexity – without the need for additional couplings or adaptors.
