It transitions from a 2-inch male thread to a 1\/2-inch female thread, allowing a larger pipe run to reduce down to a smaller branch or connection point. Malleable iron construction gives this bushing the ductility and toughness required in steam, gas, and water distribution systems. The hex profile accepts a standard pipe wrench or open-end wrench for installation and removal without damaging the fitting body. This type of fitting is installed by licensed plumbers and pipefitters in both new construction and retrofit applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis bushing is suited for residential and commercial piping systems where a concentric reduction is needed within the same inline fitting. Typical applications include gas supply lines, hydronic heating distribution, compressed air piping, and general industrial pipe assemblies. The 2-inch male thread engages the larger pipe or fitting, while the 1\/2-inch female thread receives the smaller pipe or nipple on the downstream side.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHex bushing profile accepts a wrench for controlled torque during assembly\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2-inch male NPT to 1\/2-inch female NPT concentric reduction in a single fitting\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMalleable iron construction provides ductility and resistance to mechanical shock\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBlack iron finish suitable for gas and steam piping applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eConforms to Fed.

Shut off and depressurize the pipe system completely before disassembling or installing any threaded fitting. Apply an approved thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male threads before making up the joint. Do not over-tighten; use a backup wrench on adjacent fittings to avoid stressing the pipe.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: Malleable Black Iron\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMale Thread Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2 inches NPT\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFemale Thread Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/2 inch NPT\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.6 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSold As\u003c\/strong\u003e: Each\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStandards\u003c\/strong\u003e: Fed.
