Bushing

Stainless Steel Gaskets

The forged fitting bushing is an essential component in piping systems, designed to connect pipes of different sizes by reducing the size of a larger fitting. Engineered for durability and reliability, this bushing is commonly used in various industrial applications, including oil and gas, chemical processing, and construction.


Manufactured from high-quality forged steel, the bushing ensures exceptional strength and resistance to high pressures and extreme temperatures. It adheres to rigorous international standards, such as ASTM, ASME, and DIN, guaranteeing superior performance and longevity. The precise engineering of the forged fitting bushing ensures a secure and leak-proof connection, maintaining the integrity of the piping system under demanding conditions.
