Matco-norca mn-ftbu0806 Forged Steel Hex Bushing

Product Description

The MATCO-NORCA mn-ftbu0806 is a forged steel threaded hex bushing designed to reduce pipe thread connections from a 2-inch female thread to a 1-1/4-inch male thread. Built from forged steel for strength and durability, this bushing provides a reliable transition in threaded piping systems. The hex profile allows for standard wrench installation, making it straightforward to torque into place without special tooling. Plumbers and pipefitters use this type of fitting in a wide range of commercial and residential piping applications where a reducing connection is required.

This hex bushing is suited for use in threaded steel pipe systems found in plumbing, gas distribution, and mechanical piping installations. It is appropriate for new construction and retrofit work where an inline thread reduction is needed between two different pipe sizes. The forged steel construction makes it a common choice in higher-pressure or higher-temperature service conditions where cast fittings are not specified.

Key Features

• Forged steel construction for strength in demanding piping systems
• Hex profile accommodates standard pipe wrenches and open-end wrenches
• 2-inch female thread to 1-1/4-inch male thread reducing configuration
• Threaded ends for use in standard NPT pipe assemblies

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for standard threaded steel pipe systems requiring a 2-inch to 1-1/4-inch thread reduction.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed plumbers or pipefitters in accordance with applicable local codes and the IFGC or IPC as appropriate to the service. Shut off and depressurize the piping system before installing or removing any threaded fitting. Apply appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male threads before assembly. Do not over-tighten, as this can damage threads or distort the fitting.
