Eaton 2081-12-6S Pipe Bushing 3/4 X 3/8 Inch Mnpt Fnpt Steel

Product Description

The EATON 2081-12-6S is a straight steel pipe bushing designed to reduce a 3/4 inch male NPT thread to a 3/8 inch female NPT thread. It provides a reliable, threaded transition between pipe sections or fittings of different sizes in industrial piping systems. The bushing is rated for service from -65 degrees F to 400 degrees F, making it suitable for a wide range of fluid and gas line applications. Plumbers, pipefitters, and industrial maintenance technicians install this type of fitting where a direct size reduction is needed in a threaded assembly. It meets SAE 140140 standards and weighs 0.22 pounds.

This bushing is used in industrial, commercial, and mechanical systems where 3/4 inch to 3/8 inch NPT reductions are required. Common applications include compressed air lines, hydraulic systems, steam lines, and general plumbing distribution headers. The straight configuration allows for compact inline installation without additional adapters. It is appropriate for both new construction and maintenance or repair work on existing threaded piping systems.

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for industrial and commercial threaded piping systems requiring a 3/4 inch male NPT to 3/8 inch female NPT reduction.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by licensed plumbers or pipefitters following applicable IPC or IFGC guidelines for threaded connections. Shut off and depressurize the line completely before removing or installing any threaded fitting. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male threads before assembly. Do not overtighten; use a pipe wrench with a backup wrench on adjacent fittings to prevent stress on connected components.
