Description
A bushing reduces a female threaded port to a smaller size. It has a male thread outside and a smaller female thread inside. As a result, you can fit a small pipe, gauge or valve straight into a larger fitting. We stock hex bushings at our showroom in Nad Al Hamar, Dubai, for same-day collection across the UAE.
First, note the two sizes you need, for example 1″ x 1/2″. Next, match the thread type: BSPT for most UAE water lines, or NPT for oil and gas skids. Finally, choose the material. For instance, use GI for water, carbon steel for oil and air, and stainless steel 316 for chemicals.
Why Choose Our Bushing Range
- Saves space: A bushing is shorter than a reducer and nipple, so the joint stays compact.
- Easy to fit: The hex head gives a firm grip for a spanner.
- Pressure choice: Forged steel bushings suit 3000# and 6000# lines, while GI bushings suit water.
- Wide size range: In addition, we keep most common reductions from 1/4″ to 4″.

Where They Are Used
- Gauges and sensors: for example, a 1/4″ gauge on a 1/2″ port.
- Pumps and tanks: for instance, reducing a drain or fill port.
