Features:
- Thread reduction: Connects the documented 1/2 in male side to a 1/4 in female branch.
- ISO tapered identity: The R and RT thread designations prevent substitution by nominal size alone.
- 316 stainless body: Material identity remains part of the process-system selection review.
SS-8-RBT-4RT is threaded instrumentation hardware rather than a tube fitting or pressure regulator.
Selection starts with the complete connection designation on both sides, not the visible diameter.
The surrounding piping design remains responsible for ratings, material compatibility, support and test method.
Apter Power can help confirm the Swagelok SS-8-RBT-4RT 316 Stainless Steel Reducing Bushing and the documented application details before quotation.

Important Notice: Other accessories, manuals, cables, calibration data, software, etc. are not included with this equipment unless listed in the above stock item description. All prices are shown in USD.
- Male side: Confirm the receiving port accepts the documented 1/2 in ISO tapered thread.
- Female side: Confirm the branch component uses the documented 1/4 in ISO tapered thread.
- Standard boundary: Do not treat NPT and ISO tapered threads as interchangeable.
- Orientation: Plan final position without using excessive tightening to force alignment.
- Material match: Review 316 stainless steel against the medium and adjoining components.
- Pressure basis: Use the lowest rated component in the assembled fluid path.
- Temperature effect: Recheck allowable pressure when service temperature changes.
- Cleaning scope: Confirm SC-10 is suitable for the intended process cleanliness requirement.
- Thread condition: Reject damaged or contaminated threads before engagement.
- Alignment: Support adjoining piping so the reducer does not carry bending load.
- Procedure: Apply the manufacturer method for the exact thread form and service.
- Leak proof: Test the completed joint with an approved method before normal operation.
- Instrument ports: Reduces an ISO tapered process connection for a smaller threaded device.
- Analyzer panels: Adapts documented stainless threaded branches in compact layouts.
- Utility manifolds: Provides a controlled size transition where both thread forms are confirmed.
- Maintenance spares: Restores the exact Swagelok reducing-bushing identity in an existing assembly.
