Merit Brass 3614D-3204 Pipe Bushing 316 Ss Mnpt Fnpt

Product Description

The MERIT BRASS 3614D-3204 is a 316/316L stainless steel pipe bushing designed to reduce a 2-inch male NPT connection down to a 1/4-inch female NPT port. Rated to 3,000 psi, this bushing handles demanding pressure conditions found in industrial piping, fluid systems, and process applications. The 316/316L dual-grade material provides strong resistance to corrosion, including chloride environments, making it a reliable choice where carbon steel or brass fittings are not suitable. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this fitting as part of threaded pipe assemblies in both commercial and industrial settings.

This bushing fits into threaded piping systems requiring a male-to-female NPT size reduction from 2 inches to 1/4 inch. It is suited for use in fluid handling, hydraulic, and process piping lines where stainless steel construction is specified by code or operating conditions. The 1-3/64-inch length allows it to seat within standard threaded fittings and manifolds without excessive projection. Its pressure rating of 3,000 psi makes it appropriate for high-pressure service lines in commercial and light industrial environments.

Key Features

• 316/316L stainless steel construction for corrosion resistance in harsh and chloride-exposed environments
• Rated to 3,000 psi for high-pressure threaded piping applications
• MNPT x FNPT end connections for standard threaded pipe assembly
• Reduces 2-inch male NPT to 1/4-inch female NPT in a single fitting
• Compact length of 1-3/64 inches for use in tight piping configurations

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style threaded pipe fitting for use in standard NPT piping systems requiring a 2-inch to 1/4-inch stainless steel reduction bushing.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable IPC and ASME B1.20.1 threading standards. De-pressurize and isolate the line completely before removing or installing any threaded fittings. Apply appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male threads before assembly. Do not over-torque stainless steel fittings, as galling can occur on NPT threads.
