Cast from black cast iron and rated at 125 lb, this bushing provides a reliable, pressure-rated threaded reduction in gas, water, and general-purpose piping systems. The hex head profile allows a wrench to seat squarely for consistent makeup torque. Plumbers and pipefitters specify this type of bushing when a reducer coupling is not practical and a compact inline reduction is required.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis bushing is suited for residential and light commercial piping installations where cast iron threaded fittings are required. Typical applications include natural gas distribution lines, steam and water supply systems, and general industrial plumbing. The MNPT x FNPT end configuration threads directly into a female-tapped fitting or valve body on the larger end, then accepts a smaller male-threaded pipe or fitting on the interior. Domestic manufacture supports projects requiring American-made components.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHex head design provides flat wrench surfaces for controlled installation and removal\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e2-inch MNPT to 1-1\/4-inch FNPT configuration reduces pipe size in a single compact fitting\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e125 lb pressure class cast iron construction suitable for steam, gas, and water service\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBlack finish is standard for gas piping and non-potable water applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eDomestically manufactured to support specification and compliance requirements\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for 125 lb cast iron threaded piping systems using 2-inch to 1-1\/4-inch NPT connections.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable local codes, IFGC, or IPC requirements. Shut off and depressurize the line before removing or installing any threaded fitting. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape rated for the intended service medium before makeup. Do not over-tighten; use the hex flats to engage a properly sized pipe wrench or open-end wrench for controlled thread engagement.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNominal Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2 x 1-1\/4 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEnd Style\u003c\/strong\u003e: MNPT x FNPT\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePressure Rating\u003c\/strong\u003e: 125 lb\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: Cast Iron\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish\u003c\/strong\u003e: Black\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHead Style\u003c\/strong\u003e: Hex\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOrigin\u003c\/strong\u003e: Domestic\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: ASC Engineered Solutions\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2X1B.BB\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"ASC ENGINEERED SOLUTIONS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51525049516338,"sku":"BLBUSH2114","price":18.41,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/ae2ba6f05e6c74d0e105bbbe4522590f_7764fbd2-24e1-41b6-88ed-b0870f4be6ab.jpg?v=1785463241","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/asc-engineered-solutions-2x1b-bb-hex-head-pipe-bushing","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
