Constructed from 316\/316L stainless steel, this bushing delivers strong corrosion resistance for use in demanding industrial and commercial plumbing applications. It is rated to 3,000 psi and features an MNPT x FNPT end connection, making it compatible with standard NPT threaded pipe and fittings. The part measures approximately 1-3\/64 inches in length and weighs 0.31 pounds. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters typically install this fitting in fluid handling and process piping systems where reducing thread sizes is required.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis bushing is suited for residential, commercial, and industrial piping installations where a concentric reduction between a 2-inch and 3\/8-inch threaded connection is needed. The 316\/316L stainless steel construction makes it appropriate for corrosive media, marine environments, and chemical service applications where standard carbon steel fittings are not adequate. It is commonly used in process piping, instrumentation hookups, and compressed fluid distribution lines that require a durable, pressure-rated threaded reducer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e316\/316L stainless steel construction for superior corrosion resistance\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e3,000 psi pressure rating suitable for high-pressure piping applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMNPT x FNPT threaded ends for straightforward installation with standard NPT pipe and fittings\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e2-inch to 3\/8-inch reduction in a compact 1-3\/64 inch length\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eLightweight at 0.31 pounds for easy handling during installation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style threaded pipe bushing replacement for standard NPT piping systems requiring a 2-inch to 3\/8-inch concentric reduction in 316\/316L stainless steel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable plumbing codes such as the IPC. Shut off and depressurize the system completely before removing or installing any threaded fittings. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male threads before assembly. Do not over-tighten threaded connections, as this can cause stress cracking in stainless steel fittings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFitting Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Bushing\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFitting Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2 x 3\/8 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial Grade\u003c\/strong\u003e: 316\/316L Stainless Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConnection Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Threaded\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEnd Connection\u003c\/strong\u003e: MNPT x FNPT\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePressure Rating\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3,000 psi\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1-3\/64 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.31 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUNSPSC Code\u003c\/strong\u003e: 40175300\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: MERIT BRASS\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3614D-3206\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"MERIT BRASS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51541004550450,"sku":"3614D-3206","price":135.67,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/0caf05179cd50e3c42c53d6a2c19e4e2_ce4c2e84-1972-4c99-8948-719c6802d968.jpg?v=1785867251","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/merit-brass-3614d-3206-pipe-bushing-2x3-8-in-316-ss","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
