68100126 - Brass Hex Bushing 3/8 Inch Male NPT to 1/4 Inch Female NPT

Reliable Brass Adapters for Welding Setups

Every welder knows the frustration of having the wrong connection size when setting up a new regulator, flowmeter, or gas line. The Brass Hex Bushing 3/8" Male to 1/4" Female is the problem-solver you need in your toolbox. This heavy-duty adapter allows you to step down a 3/8" threaded port to fit 1/4" equipment, making it perfect for customizing your gas delivery systems or adapting older equipment to new hoses and gauges.

Built tough for the shop environment, this bushing is machined from solid brass. This means it won't rust out like cheap plated steel fittings, ensuring that your gas flow remains clean and unobstructed. The hex-shaped head gives you a solid grip with your wrench, so you can crank it down tight to ensure there are absolutely no leaks in your shielding gas lines. Leaks not only waste expensive argon or CO2 but can also lead to porosity in your welds—this fitting helps you keep your system tight and efficient.

This fitting is commonly used on manifolds, compressor outlets, and regulator bodies. If you have a port that is just too big for the gauge or hose barb you are trying to install, this bushing bridges the gap instantly. It is compatible with standard thread seal tape or pipe dope, ensuring a secure fit that holds up to the vibrations and pressures of daily shop use.

Shop Essentials

Don't let a mismatched thread stop your production. Keep a supply of these brass bushings on hand to ensure you can always make the connection. Whether you are running air lines for plasma cutters or shielding gas for MIG and TIG welders, this simple yet effective part is critical for keeping your equipment running smoothly.
