AAP 3000lb Hexagon Head Bush, 1/2" x 1/4"

This AAP hexagon head bush is a forged carbon steel fitting with NPT thread and a hot dip galvanised finish. It is supplied in 13 sizes, 1/2 x 1/4" (15 x 8mm) to 2 x 1-1/2" (50 x 40mm).

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.
