Beckett 14581 Double Tap Tank Bushing 2x1.5 in Black Steel

Product Description

The BECKETT 14581 is a double tap tank bushing designed for use in oil-fired heating system fuel tank installations. Constructed from black steel, this bushing provides two threaded outlet ports in a single fitting, reducing the need for additional fittings when connecting supply and return lines or gauge ports at the tank. The 2-inch inlet reduces to 1.5-inch outlets, making it a practical choice for consolidating fuel line connections at the top of a storage tank. HVAC technicians and oil burner service professionals install this fitting as part of routine tank setup or when retrofitting existing systems.

This tank bushing is suited for residential and light commercial fuel oil tank installations where multiple connections at a single tank bung are required. It is commonly used when running both a supply line and a return line, or when adding an additional port for a fuel gauge or shutoff valve. The fitting threads directly into the tank bung opening and accepts standard pipe thread connections on its outlet ports.

Key Features

• Double tap design provides two outlet ports from a single tank bung connection
• Black steel construction for durability in fuel oil service environments
• 2-inch inlet by 1.5-inch outlet sizing accommodates standard tank bung openings
• Simplifies multi-line connections at the tank without additional fittings
• Compact, single-piece fitting reduces potential leak points

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement fitting for residential and light commercial fuel oil storage tank installations requiring a double-outlet tank bushing at a standard 2-inch bung opening.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed oil burner technician or qualified plumber following applicable local codes and NFPA 31 guidelines for fuel oil systems. Shut off the fuel supply and relieve any pressure or vacuum in the tank before removing or installing tank fittings. Apply a fuel-compatible thread sealant to all threaded connections and verify there are no leaks before returning the system to service. Do not overtighten fittings, as black steel threads can be damaged if forced.
