Sioux Chief 933-15201001 Nylon Hex Bushing, 1/2" MIP x 1/4" FIP

Sioux Chief 933-15201001 Nylon Hex Bushing, 1/2" MIP x 1/4" FIP

The Sioux Chief 933-15201001 Nylon Hex Bushing is a reducing bushing that steps a 1/2" MIP (male iron pipe) connection down to a 1/4" FIP (female iron pipe) connection for behind-the-wall and rough-in plumbing runs. Molded from nylon, this hex-head bushing threads directly into a larger fitting to adapt a smaller-diameter branch line, drain component, or accessory port without swapping out the entire fitting body. Because the reduction happens in a single fitting, installers can move from a 1/2" threaded opening to a 1/4" threaded takeoff with one part instead of stacking multiple adapters. It ships packaged 60 EA per case, making it practical to stock on a service truck or supply house shelf for recurring rough-in and repair work.

Key Features

• Trade Size: 1/2" MIP x 1/4" FIP reducing connection for stepping down from a larger threaded fitting to a smaller threaded takeoff.
• Nylon Construction: Molded nylon body resists corrosion and is lighter than a comparable metal reducing bushing, which helps when handling multiple pieces on a job.
• Hex Head Design: Hex-shaped body accepts a wrench or pliers for a secure, controlled connection during make-up instead of relying on a smooth surface for grip.
• Threaded Connection: MIP x FIP iron-pipe threading allows direct assembly into standard threaded fittings without sourcing an additional adapter.
• Reducing Bushing Configuration: Single-piece design combines the size reduction and the thread-gender change (male to female) in one component.
• Packaging: Supplied 60 EA per case for efficient stocking and distribution across rough-in jobs and service calls.
