ASME B16.11 | Forged Threaded Bushings | Hex Head Bushings | NPS 1/8–4
Elite manufactures and supplies Forged Threaded / Screwed Bushings for connecting threaded pipes and fittings of different sizes. These bushings feature a larger external connection and a smaller internal thread, allowing the piping system to be reduced from one nominal size to another.
Our ASME B16.11 Forged Threaded Bushings are manufactured from high-quality materials and are available in carbon steel, stainless steel, alloy steel, duplex/super duplex, copper-nickel, nickel alloys, titanium, and other special materials. They are suitable for oil & gas, petrochemical, chemical processing, power generation, hydraulic, water supply, and general industrial applications.
Threaded bushings provide a compact and practical solution for reducing threaded connections. Precision-machined threads provide reliable engagement, easy installation, and long-term service performance.
