Merit Brass XB114-3224 Brass Pipe Bushing 2x1.5in Class 125

Product Description

The MERIT BRASS XB114-3224 is a threaded brass pipe bushing designed to reduce a 2-inch female pipe thread connection down to a 1.5-inch female pipe thread connection. It features male BSP taper (MBSPT) on the outer end and female BSP taper (FBSPT) on the inner end, conforming to Class 125 pressure ratings. This bushing is used to transition between two different pipe sizes within a threaded piping system. Plumbers and pipefitters install this fitting in water supply, general plumbing, and low-pressure fluid systems where a concentric pipe reduction is needed at a threaded joint.

This bushing suits residential and light commercial plumbing applications where a 2-inch pipe line steps down to a 1.5-inch line at a threaded connection point. Typical install scenarios include water distribution headers, manifold assemblies, and service line transitions. The Class 125 rating makes it appropriate for low-pressure water and air service. Brass construction provides corrosion resistance and durability in both hot and cold water service.

Key Features

• Reduces 2-inch to 1.5-inch threaded pipe connections in a single fitting
• MBSPT x FBSPT end connections for standard threaded assembly
• Class 125 pressure rating suited for water, air, and low-pressure fluid service
• Brass construction offers corrosion resistance in wet plumbing environments
• Compact bushing profile installs directly into existing threaded fittings or valves

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for Class 125 threaded brass piping systems with 2-inch to 1.5-inch reduction requirements.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed plumbers or qualified pipefitters. Shut off the water supply and depressurize the line before threading in this bushing. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male threads before assembly. Tighten to a snug, leak-free fit using a pipe wrench; do not overtighten brass fittings, as the material is susceptible to thread damage under excessive torque.
