Cast from galvanized cast iron and rated at 125 lb, this bushing provides a corrosion-resistant threaded transition in low-pressure piping systems. The hex head allows for standard wrench engagement during installation and removal. Plumbers and pipefitters install this fitting in water supply, gas distribution, and general service pipe systems where a concentric size reduction between NPT-threaded components is required.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis bushing is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing and gas piping applications. It is typically used where a larger-diameter pipe or fitting must connect to a smaller-diameter valve, pipe run, or equipment port. The MNPT x FNPT configuration makes it a direct threaded reducer, eliminating the need for coupling reducers or additional fittings in straightforward inline transitions. The galvanized finish extends service life in environments where moisture exposure is a factor.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHex head design accepts standard pipe wrenches and open-end wrenches for secure makeup and removal\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMNPT x FNPT end style provides a direct inline threaded reduction with no additional adapters required\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGalvanized cast iron construction offers corrosion resistance for water and general service piping\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e125 lb pressure class suitable for standard low-pressure plumbing and gas service applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDomestic manufacture\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement and standard service fitting for 2-inch to 3\/4-inch NPT threaded pipe systems in residential and commercial plumbing and gas distribution applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eInstallation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable local plumbing codes and IFGC requirements where gas service is involved. Shut off and depressurize the pipe system completely before removing or installing any threaded fittings. Apply an approved thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male threads before makeup. 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 3\/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\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\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: 2XE.NB\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"ASC ENGINEERED SOLUTIONS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51525412684082,"sku":"GALBUSH234","price":29.3,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/faceb73af3b6981b6c671b1e4679baae_1818317b-9630-4402-9662-d83e544ab574.jpg?v=1785473057","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/asc-engineered-solutions-2xe-nb-hex-head-pipe-bushing","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
