AHFMANG 1" to 3/8" 304 Stainless Steel NPT Reducer Hex Bushings, 2-Pack
Product description
For a pipe connection that needs to step down from a 1" male NPT thread to a 3/8" female NPT thread, these AHFMANG reducer hex bushings provide a direct threaded fitting for joining two pipes. Made from 304 stainless steel, each bushing is designed for NPT-threaded connections and can be used with fluid, air, gas, oil and fuel applications.
The two-piece set suits projects where that specific size transition is needed, while keeping the connection threaded rather than replacing the adjoining pipework.

Practical tips
Match the fitting’s male and female NPT threads to the corresponding connections in your setup: the 1" male end connects to a compatible female NPT thread, and the 3/8" female end accepts a compatible male NPT thread. This helps make the intended size change clear when selecting a reducer for an existing line. The hex shape gives the fitting a defined form for handling during assembly.
These bushings are identified for use with fluid, air, gas, oil and fuel. They are not deemed lead-free and are not for potable water, so keep that distinction in mind when choosing a fitting for a water-related project. For a drinking-water line, select a product specifically designated for potable-water use instead.
If you are choosing between a reducer bushing and a same-size coupling, the bushing is the relevant style when the connection needs to change from the larger 1" male NPT thread to the smaller 3/8" female NPT thread. A coupling serves a different purpose when the connected threads are not meant to step down in this way. Confirm the thread type and male/female arrangement at both connection points before assembly.
Included in the pack
The pack contains two stainless steel 304 reducer hex bushings. Having two fittings in the set is useful when a project calls for more than one matching size transition, or when you want a second fitting on hand for another compatible connection. Each piece has the same 1" male NPT × 3/8" female NPT configuration.
Should you buy it?
It makes sense if your pipework calls for this exact NPT size change and you need a stainless steel 304 fitting for a fluid, air, gas, oil or fuel application. The clear male-to-female thread arrangement helps identify where it belongs in a setup, and the two-piece pack supports projects requiring matching reducers. Choose this set for the specified threaded transition, while keeping it out of potable-water applications.
