Constructed from 316 stainless steel, this bushing delivers strong resistance to corrosion and oxidation, making it well suited for demanding fluid and gas piping applications. It carries a 150 psi pressure rating and meets ISO standards. At 1-7\/16 inches in length, it installs directly into threaded piping systems without additional hardware. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters are the primary installers of this type of fitting in both industrial and commercial settings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis bushing is used wherever a piping system requires a reduction from a 2-inch line to a 3\/8-inch branch or instrument port. Common applications include process piping, chemical handling lines, marine plumbing, and food-grade or sanitary systems where 316 stainless steel is specified for its superior chloride resistance compared to 304 grade. It is appropriate for both liquid and compatible gas service within its rated pressure limits.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e316 stainless steel construction for superior corrosion resistance in harsh or chloride-rich environments\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMNPT x FNPT threaded end connections for tool-only installation into standard NPT piping systems\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e150 psi pressure rating suitable for a wide range of fluid and gas service applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eISO standard compliance for consistent dimensional and performance reliability\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCompact 1-7\/16 inch body length minimizes space requirements at the connection point\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eReduces 2-inch male pipe threads to 3\/8-inch female port in a single fitting\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style threaded pipe bushing for standard NPT piping systems requiring a 2-inch to 3\/8-inch reduction in 316 stainless steel at 150 psi service conditions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation is performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter. Depressurize and drain the affected piping section completely before removing any existing fittings or installing this bushing. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male threads in accordance with the applicable piping code before making up the joint. Do not overtighten threaded stainless steel fittings, as galling can occur and damage the threads permanently.\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 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\u003eStandards\u003c\/strong\u003e: ISO\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.95 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: K614-3206\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"MERIT BRASS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51540364198194,"sku":"K614-3206","price":48.45,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/0308899568682136e0478e837b915ae9.jpg?v=1785853420","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/merit-brass-k614-3206-pipe-bushing-316-ss-2x3-8-in","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
