Matco-norca mn-ftbu0805 Forged Steel Hex Bushing 2x1

Product Description

The MATCO-NORCA mn-ftbu0805 is a forged steel threaded hex bushing designed to reduce a 2-inch female threaded fitting down to a 1-inch male threaded connection. Built from forged steel for added strength and pressure resistance, this bushing provides a reliable transition between pipe sizes in pressurized systems. The hex body allows for standard wrench engagement during installation. Plumbers, pipefitters, and mechanical contractors routinely use hex bushings like this one to adapt threaded pipe runs without adding unnecessary fittings or increasing joint count.

This bushing is suited for use in residential and commercial plumbing, hydronic heating, steam, and general industrial piping applications where a 2-inch to 1-inch threaded reduction is required. It is compatible with standard NPT threaded pipe and fittings. The forged steel construction makes it appropriate for moderate-pressure systems where cast iron or malleable alternatives may be specified. Always verify material compatibility with the fluid or gas being conveyed before installation.

Key Features

• Forged steel construction for high strength and durability under pressure
• 2-inch female NPT inlet to 1-inch male NPT outlet reduction
• Hex body profile allows secure wrench engagement during makeup
• Threaded connection compatible with standard NPT pipe and fittings
• Suitable for plumbing, hydronic, and general industrial piping systems

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for standard NPT threaded piping systems requiring a 2-inch to 1-inch reduction.

Installation Notes

Installation of threaded pipe bushings should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable local plumbing codes and ASME B1.20.1 NPT thread standards. Always depressurize and drain the system before removing or installing fittings. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to male threads before makeup. Do not overtighten, as this can crack fittings or damage threads.
