Constructed from cast iron with a galvanized finish, this bushing is rated at 125 lb and features a MNPT x FNPT end style for straightforward threaded installation into standard pipe systems. The hexagonal head allows for wrench engagement, making it easy to achieve a secure, leak-free connection. Plumbers and pipefitters install this type of fitting in water supply, drain, and low-pressure industrial piping systems where a threaded reducer is needed between two different pipe sizes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis bushing is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing applications where cast iron galvanized fittings are specified. Common install scenarios include water distribution lines, gas piping systems that permit cast iron fittings, and mechanical room connections where reducing bushings are needed to transition between pipe sizes. The domestic manufacture of this part makes it a common choice for projects requiring domestically produced fittings.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHex head design allows standard pipe wrench or open-end wrench engagement for controlled installation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCast iron construction with galvanized finish provides corrosion resistance in wet or humid environments\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e125 lb pressure rating suits standard residential and light commercial piping service\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMNPT x FNPT thread configuration enables direct threaded reducer installation without additional adapters\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReduces from 2-inch nominal to 1-1\/4-inch nominal pipe size\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDomestically manufactured\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting compatible with standard 2-inch MNPT and 1-1\/4-inch FNPT threaded pipe systems using 125 lb cast iron fittings.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eInstallation should be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with applicable IPC or local plumbing code requirements. Shut off and depressurize the pipe system before removing or installing any threaded fittings. Apply an approved thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male threads before assembly. Do not overtighten, as cast iron fittings can crack under excessive torque.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\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: Galvanized\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOrigin\u003c\/strong\u003e: Domestic\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\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.NB\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"ASC ENGINEERED SOLUTIONS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51524818403634,"sku":"GALBUSH2114","price":29.3,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/faceb73af3b6981b6c671b1e4679baae_de88142e-6119-4d8e-ae00-c84a4a754824.jpg?v=1785458471","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/asc-engineered-solutions-2x1b-nb-hex-head-pipe-bushing","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
