Merit Brass 3614D-2412 Pipe Bushing 316 Ss Mnpt X Fnpt

Product Description

The MERIT BRASS 3614D-2412 is a threaded pipe bushing designed to reduce a 1-1/2 inch female connection down to a 3/4 inch male connection within a piping system. Constructed from 316 and 316L stainless steel, it delivers strong corrosion resistance in demanding fluid handling and process piping applications. The fitting carries a pressure rating of 3,000 psi, making it suitable for high-pressure lines. At 15/16 inches in length and weighing 0.75 pounds, it is a compact, robust component. Licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and industrial maintenance technicians are the typical installers for fittings of this type.

This bushing is suited for use in industrial, commercial, and marine piping systems where corrosion resistance is a priority. Its 316 and 316L stainless steel construction makes it appropriate for environments exposed to chemicals, saltwater, or other corrosive media. It connects male NPT pipe threads on the outer end to female NPT threads on the inner end, allowing a straight inline reduction between two differently sized pipe runs. The 3,000 psi rating supports use in moderate- to high-pressure fluid or gas service lines.

Key Features

• 316 and 316L stainless steel construction for excellent corrosion resistance
• 3,000 psi pressure rating for high-pressure piping service
• MNPT x FNPT threaded ends for tool-free alignment and standard NPT compatibility
• 1-1/2 inch to 3/4 inch reduction for inline pipe size transitions
• Compact 15/16 inch body length minimizes installation space requirements
• Sold individually with a minimum order quantity of one

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for standard NPT threaded piping systems requiring a 1-1/2 inch to 3/4 inch bushing reduction in 316 stainless steel service.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or qualified pipefitter in accordance with applicable codes such as the International Plumbing Code. Shut off and depressurize the line completely before removing or installing any threaded fittings. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male NPT threads before assembly. Do not over-tighten threaded connections, as this can damage the threads or fitting body.
