Pipe Fittings

Bushings are versatile pipe fittings designed to connect pipes of different sizes with internal and external threads, while also serving as backflow preventers to allow water flow in one direction. Made from materials like steel, copper, or PVC, they ensure secure and efficient connections.

Bushings are essential for reducing pipe diameters and preventing reverse flow in plumbing, industrial, and HVAC systems. Available in various materials and configurations, they are engineered to meet specific pressure, temperature, and corrosion requirements.

BUSHINGS

Bushings are critical components in piping systems, offering a compact solution for joining pipes of different sizes while maintaining flow control. Their threaded design, both inside and out, allows for easy installation, and their backflow prevention feature enhances system reliability in water supply and industrial applications.

Key Properties of BUSHINGS

  • Size Reduction: Connects pipes of different diameters with internal and external threads.
  • Backflow Prevention: Allows water flow in one direction, preventing reverse flow in piping systems.
  • Material Compatibility: Made from steel, copper, PVC, or other materials to match connected pipes.
  • Durability: Engineered to withstand high pressure and temperature for reliable performance.

Types of Bushings

Bushings are categorized based on their material, thread type, and backflow prevention features to meet specific application needs.

Type Description Application
Hex Bushing Features a hexagonal head for easy wrench installation, threaded inside and out. Plumbing, gas lines, and industrial piping.
Flush Bushing Provides a smooth, flush connection with minimal protrusion. Water supply and HVAC systems.
Stainless Steel Bushing Corrosion-resistant, ideal for harsh environments with backflow prevention. Chemical processing, marine applications.
PVC Bushing Lightweight and corrosion-resistant, used in non-pressurized systems. Irrigation and drainage systems.

Applications of BUSHINGS

Bushings are widely used across industries for their ability to connect pipes of different sizes and prevent backflow in piping systems:

  • Plumbing: Connects pipes of varying sizes and prevents backflow in water and gas systems.
  • HVAC: Facilitates pipe size transitions and flow control in heating and cooling systems.
  • Industrial Piping: Supports reliable connections and backflow prevention in chemical and oil processing.
  • Irrigation Systems: Enables size reductions and flow direction control in agricultural water distribution.

Considerations for Use

  • Material Selection: Choose materials matching the system (e.g., stainless steel for corrosive environments, PVC for drainage).
  • Thread Compatibility: Ensure internal and external threads (NPT, BSP) match the pipes to prevent leaks.
  • Installation: Apply thread sealant or tape to ensure a secure, leak-proof connection and proper backflow function.
