AAP 3000lb Hexagon Head Bush, 1/4" x 1/8"

This AAP hexagon head bush is a forged carbon steel fitting with NPT thread and a black finish. It is supplied in 34 sizes, 1/4 x 1/8" (8 x 6mm) to 4 x 3" (100 x 80mm).

A bush reduces a threaded port from a larger size to a smaller one. The size is given as the larger thread first, then the smaller, for example 1/2 x 1/4. A threaded bush is normally male on the outside and female on the inside, and this one has a hexagon head for a spanner. A is its length and B is the width of the hexagon head. The threaded high pressure fittings are rated at 3000 lb. Standards for the range include ASTM A105 carbon steel forgings.
