Merit Brass 3414D-3208 Pipe Bushing 2x1/2 in Ss Threaded

Product Description

The MERIT BRASS 3414D-3208 is a threaded pipe bushing designed to reduce a 2 inch male pipe thread to a 1/2 inch female pipe thread. Constructed from 304/304L dual-certified stainless steel, this bushing delivers strong corrosion resistance in demanding fluid and gas piping systems. It carries a pressure rating of 3,000 psi, making it suitable for high-pressure industrial and commercial plumbing applications. The MNPT x FNPT end connections allow for a straightforward threaded installation without additional adapters. Licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and mechanical contractors are the primary installers of this type of fitting.

This bushing is used wherever a pipe line needs to be reduced from a 2 inch nominal to a 1/2 inch nominal threaded port. Typical applications include industrial process piping, commercial plumbing headers, and mechanical system manifolds where stainless steel construction is required for corrosion or sanitary compliance. The 304/304L material grade performs well in water, mild chemical, and steam service environments. It is sold individually and is suitable for both new construction and retrofit piping work.

Key Features

• 304/304L dual-certified stainless steel construction for broad corrosion resistance
• 3,000 psi pressure rating suitable for high-pressure piping systems
• MNPT x FNPT threaded end connections for tool-based, no-weld installation
• Reduces 2 inch male thread to 1/2 inch female thread in a single fitting
• Compact bushing form factor eliminates the need for a full coupling and separate adapter

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style threaded pipe bushing for use in 3,000 psi rated industrial and commercial piping systems requiring NPT connections in 304 or 304L stainless steel.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable IPC or ASME B31.3 piping codes. Depressurize and isolate the piping system completely before removing or installing any threaded fittings. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape rated for the service medium before threading the fitting into place. Do not overtighten threaded connections, as this can crack female threads or distort the fitting seat.
