It transitions from a 2-inch female pipe thread to a 1-1\/2-inch female pipe thread using standard FBSPT connections on both ends. Rated Class 125, this fitting is suited for moderate-pressure applications in water, fuel oil, and general-service piping. The all-brass construction resists corrosion and provides reliable sealing when assembled with compatible male-threaded pipe ends. Plumbers and pipefitters install this coupling wherever a reduction in pipe diameter is required within a threaded system.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis reducing coupling is used in residential and light commercial plumbing, hydronic heating, and industrial piping installations where a threaded inline size reduction is needed. It accepts standard NPT male-threaded pipe on both ends and is commonly installed in supply lines, distribution manifolds, and branch connections where flow transitions from 2-inch to 1-1\/2-inch pipe. Its compact form factor fits into tight spaces typical of mechanical room installations.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReduces from 2-inch to 1-1\/2-inch pipe in a single threaded fitting\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFBSPT x FBSPT end connections accept standard male NPT pipe threads on both sides\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eClass 125 pressure rating suitable for general-service water and fuel oil piping\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBrass construction provides corrosion resistance in wet and humid environments\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompact inline design minimizes installation space requirements\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for threaded brass piping systems using 2-inch and 1-1\/2-inch nominal pipe sizes with NPT threads.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eInstallation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable IPC or local plumbing codes. Shut off and depressurize the system before removing or installing any threaded fittings. Apply an approved thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male pipe threads before assembly. Do not over-tighten, as excessive torque can crack brass fittings or damage threads.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFitting Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Reducing Coupling\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFitting Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2 x 1-1\/2 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEnd Connections\u003c\/strong\u003e: FBSPT x FBSPT\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConnection Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Threaded\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eClass\u003c\/strong\u003e: 125\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: Brass\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.738 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUNSPSC Code\u003c\/strong\u003e: 40175300\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\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: XB112-3224\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"MERIT BRASS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51539102728498,"sku":"XB112-3224","price":198.57,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/da3b92919a79c8328e49f9bf9651f0fe.jpg?v=1785834746","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/merit-brass-xb112-3224-brass-reducing-coupling-2x1-1-2","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
