Constructed from 304 stainless steel, this bushing delivers reliable corrosion resistance in wet, chemical-exposed, and outdoor piping environments. It carries a 150 psi pressure rating and meets ISO standards, making it suitable for industrial and commercial plumbing, process piping, and fluid handling systems. At 1-7\/16 inches in length and 0.95 pounds, this is a compact, durable fitting installed by licensed plumbers and pipefitters during system assembly or retrofit work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis bushing is used wherever a 2-inch pipe or fitting needs to transition to a 3\/8-inch threaded connection. Common applications include industrial process lines, commercial plumbing headers, HVAC hydronic systems, and fluid transfer manifolds requiring a stainless steel reduction fitting. Its MNPT x FNPT end connections allow direct thread engagement into standard NPT-threaded fittings, valves, and equipment ports without adapters.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e304 stainless steel construction for corrosion resistance in wet and chemical-exposed environments\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e2-inch MNPT x 3\/8-inch FNPT threaded ends for direct NPT system integration\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e150 psi pressure rating suitable for commercial and industrial piping service\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eISO-compliant threading for dimensional consistency with standard NPT fittings\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCompact 1-7\/16-inch length minimizes installed footprint in tight spaces\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style threaded reduction bushing for use in standard 2-inch NPT piping systems requiring a 3\/8-inch female NPT outlet, compatible with any NPT-threaded valves, fittings, or equipment meeting 150 psi service requirements.\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 IPC and ASME B1.20.1 threading standards. Depressurize and drain the system fully before removing or installing any threaded fittings. Apply appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male threads before assembly. Do not over-tighten; use a pipe wrench with steady, controlled torque to seat the fitting without cracking the threads.\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: 304 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: 150 psi\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1-7\/16 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.95 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStandards\u003c\/strong\u003e: ISO\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: K414-3206\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"MERIT BRASS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51542139928882,"sku":"K414-3206","price":46.28,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/24253ba78a5ca7b751c2cc0ce8292c9d.jpg?v=1785893349","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/merit-brass-k414-3206-pipe-bushing-2x3-8-in-304-ss","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
