Merit Brass 3614D-3212 Pipe Bushing 316 Ss 2x3/4 in

Product Description

The MERIT BRASS 3614D-3212 is a threaded pipe bushing designed to reduce a 2-inch male NPT connection down to a 3/4-inch female NPT connection. Constructed from 316/316L stainless steel, this bushing delivers strong corrosion resistance in demanding fluid and gas piping systems. It carries a 3,000 psi pressure rating, making it suitable for high-pressure industrial and commercial applications. The MNPT x FNPT thread configuration allows direct installation into standard NPT-threaded pipe systems without adapters. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this type of fitting during system assembly, maintenance, and retrofits.

This bushing is used in plumbing, process piping, chemical handling, and industrial fluid systems where a reduction from a 2-inch to a 3/4-inch threaded connection is required. The 316/316L stainless steel material makes it well suited for corrosive environments including saltwater exposure, chemical processing lines, and food-grade or sanitary piping where iron or brass fittings are not appropriate. It fits standard NPT-threaded pipe systems in both residential and commercial installations.

Key Features

• 316/316L stainless steel construction for superior corrosion resistance
• 3,000 psi pressure rating suitable for high-pressure piping applications
• MNPT x FNPT threaded connection for direct NPT system compatibility
• Reduces 2-inch male pipe thread to 3/4-inch female pipe thread
• Length of approximately 1-3/64 inches for compact inline installation

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style threaded pipe bushing for standard NPT piping systems requiring a 2-inch to 3/4-inch reduction in 316/316L stainless steel construction.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed plumbers or pipefitters following applicable IPC and ASME B31 piping code requirements. Depressurize and isolate the pipe 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 damage threads on stainless steel fittings.
