1/4 x 3/8 Pipe Reducer Bushing Black

The 1/4 x 3/8 Pipe Reducer Bushing Black is a precision hydraulic and pneumatic fitting designed to adapt between two different NPT port sizes in fluid transfer systems. Whether you're building custom plumbing manifolds, modifying fuel systems, or assembling high-pressure hydraulic circuits, this reducer bushing enables seamless step-down connections where space or system constraints demand a compact solution. The reducing bushing is essential for technicians and engineers who need to integrate components of mismatched port sizes without requiring additional adapters or fittings.

Manufactured by FRAGOLA, this fitting features a 1/4 inch NPT female inlet and a 3/8 inch NPT male outlet, machined from durable aluminum and finished with black anodized coating for corrosion resistance and longevity in both indoor and outdoor applications. The anodized aluminum construction provides excellent strength-to-weight ratio while resisting oxidation and wear, critical attributes in demanding hydraulic or pneumatic environments. The compact 4.1-inch length and minimal 0.02-pound weight make installation straightforward, and the threaded NPT design ensures a reliable, pressure-sealed connection when properly tightened with appropriate thread sealant or tape.

Professionals in automotive fabrication, industrial maintenance, and fluid power systems rely on this reducer bushing to simplify system modifications and repairs. It is compatible with standard NPT port systems found in fuel injection kits, brake line assemblies, air suspension networks, and custom racing or shop equipment. Installation requires basic wrench application at both ends; always verify NPT thread compatibility with your existing fittings and apply thread sealant to ensure leak-free performance under operating pressure.
