Beckett 14590 Double Tap Tank Bushing 3x1.5in Black Steel

Product Description

The BECKETT 14590 is a double tap tank bushing used to reduce and adapt tank openings in oil storage and fuel system installations. Constructed from black steel, this bushing provides a durable, corrosion-resistant connection point rated for tank service environments. It steps down a 3-inch tank fitting to a 1.5-inch port while adding a second tap for added connection flexibility. Plumbers, oil burner technicians, and fuel system installers use this fitting when configuring or servicing oil tank assemblies. At 1.75 pounds, the steel construction delivers the structural integrity required for long-term tank applications.

This bushing is suited for residential and light commercial oil tank installations where a 3-inch to 1.5-inch reduction with dual-tap access is needed. It is a standard component in fuel oil storage system setups, often installed during tank commissioning, replacement, or service. The double tap design allows a supply line and a return or gauge connection to be made through a single tank opening.
