OVERVIEW

Heavy-Duty Brass Adaptor for Welding & Industrial Use

When you are out in the shop or on the job site, having the right fittings can make the difference between a job well done and a day of frustration. The Harris 9005806 Brass Reducing Bushing is a high-quality adapter designed to solve connection compatibility issues instantly. This fitting features a 1/2-inch Male NPT thread on the outside and a 1/4-inch Female NPT thread on the inside, effectively reducing the port size to accommodate standard 1/4-inch fittings, gauges, or hoses.

Built to last, this bushing is machined from solid brass, ensuring it stands up to the rigors of daily use. Unlike cheaper alternatives that may cross-thread or crack under torque, Harris fittings are known for their precision and strength. The brass material is naturally resistant to rust and corrosion, making it an excellent choice for cooling systems, gas lines, and pneumatic setups. Whether you are retrofitting an old welding machine, setting up a new gas drop, or repairing a compressor line, this bushing ensures a professional, leak-free connection every time.

Installation is straightforward thanks to the integrated hex nut shape, which allows you to apply the necessary torque with a crescent wrench or socket. The tapered NPT threads engage tightly to form a mechanical seal that holds up under pressure. For welders and fabricators who demand reliability from every component in their setup, the Harris 9005806 is the standard for brass pipe fittings.

Features & Benefits

  • Versatile Compatibility: Standard NPT threads ensure this bushing works with a vast array of pipes, valves, and fittings found in North American shops.
  • Rugged Construction: Solid brass withstands mechanical stress and resists deformation during installation.
  • Leak Prevention: Tapered threads provide a progressive seal that tightens as you turn, critical for maintaining system pressure.

FAQ

This bushing has a 1/2-inch Male NPT thread on the exterior and a 1/4-inch Female NPT thread on the interior.

Yes, brass NPT fittings are generally suitable for standard industrial gas pressures, provided they are installed correctly with appropriate thread sealant.

Absolutely. Brass is corrosion-resistant and is commonly used for water, coolant, and non-corrosive fluid applications.

Yes, for NPT connections, it is recommended to use Teflon tape or a compatible pipe thread sealant to ensure a leak-proof seal.

While brass is compatible with oxygen, fittings must be specifically cleaned for oxygen service to remove all oils and greases before use. Check if the specific unit is 'cleaned for oxygen service' before installing in an O2 line.

You will need a standard adjustable wrench or an open-end wrench that fits the hex portion of the bushing to tighten it securely.

A bushing is used to reduce the size of a female port (it has male threads on the outside and female on the inside), whereas a coupling typically connects two male pipes (it has female threads on both ends).

Yes, this is a genuine Harris product, ensuring high manufacturing standards and material quality.
