It transitions between a 2-inch fitting (FTG) end and a 1-1\/2-inch press-fit end, allowing plumbers and gas fitters to reduce pipe size within a press-fit carbon steel gas system without threading or soldering. Press-fit technology uses a mechanical crimping process that creates a secure, leak-resistant joint quickly and efficiently. This bushing is part of the carbon press gas fittings product category and is suited for professional installation in residential and commercial gas piping systems.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis bushing is used in carbon steel press-fit gas piping systems where a reduction from 2-inch to 1-1\/2-inch pipe is required. It is appropriate for new construction and retrofit applications where press-fit gas fittings are specified. Licensed plumbers and gas fitters working on natural gas or approved gas distribution systems will encounter this type of fitting when routing branch lines or reducing main runs to smaller service lines.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2-inch FTG (fitting) end transitions to 1-1\/2-inch press-fit connection\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCarbon steel construction for gas piping service\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePress-fit joining eliminates threading and open-flame soldering at the joint\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBushing configuration for in-line pipe size reduction\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDesigned for use in carbon press gas fitting systems\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style component for carbon steel press-fit gas piping systems. Intended for use with compatible 2-inch FTG and 1-1\/2-inch press-fit carbon steel gas fittings and pipe.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eInstallation must be performed by a licensed plumber or gas fitter in accordance with applicable local codes and the International Fuel Gas Code (IFGC). Shut off and verify that the gas supply is fully depressurized before working on any section of the piping system. Press-fit connections require a manufacturer-approved pressing tool and the correct jaw or ring for the fitting size — using an incompatible tool can result in an improperly seated joint. All completed joints must be leak-tested before returning the system to service.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: Carbon Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConnection Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: FTG (Fitting) x Press-Fit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInlet Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2 inches (FTG)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOutlet Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1-1\/2 inches (Press-Fit)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eApplication\u003c\/strong\u003e: Gas Piping\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCategory\u003c\/strong\u003e: Carbon Press Gas Fittings\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: BMI\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 46140\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"BMI","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51306408214834,"sku":"46140","price":75.12,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/309549158.jpg?v=1781291159","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/bmi-46140-carbon-press-fit-bushing-2x1-5-inch-gas","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
