Sized at 2-1\/2 x 2 inches nominal with female NPT (FNPT) threads on both ends, it provides a secure, leak-resistant transition between pipe sizes. Rated at 125 lb pressure class, this fitting is manufactured from brass with a rough finish. It is installed by licensed plumbers and pipefitters in applications requiring a reliable, corrosion-resistant threaded connection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis reducer coupling suits residential and commercial plumbing systems where a step-down transition between 2-1\/2 inch and 2 inch nominal pipe is required. Common applications include water supply lines, hydronic heating systems, compressed air distribution, and light industrial fluid handling. The FNPT thread pattern mates with standard male NPT pipe threads, making it compatible with widely available pipe stock and fittings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e2-1\/2 x 2 inch nominal size provides a direct step-down pipe transition\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFemale NPT (FNPT) threads on both ends for standard threaded connections\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e125 lb pressure class rating suitable for plumbing and mechanical service\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBrass construction offers corrosion resistance and durability in fluid systems\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRough finish suitable for use with thread sealant tape or pipe dope\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style threaded reducer fitting compatible with standard NPT male-threaded pipe and fittings in 2-1\/2 inch and 2 inch nominal sizes.\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 local plumbing codes and IPC requirements. Shut off and depressurize the system fully before removing or installing any threaded fittings. Apply an appropriate thread sealant, such as PTFE tape or pipe dope rated for the service fluid, to the male threads before assembly. Do not overtighten, as brass fittings can crack under excessive torque.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNominal Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2-1\/2 x 2 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEnd Style\u003c\/strong\u003e: FNPT (Female National Pipe Thread) both ends\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePressure Class\u003c\/strong\u003e: 125 lb\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: Brass\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish\u003c\/strong\u003e: Rough\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: XNL112-4032\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"MERIT BRASS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51525361697074,"sku":"RED2122LF","price":93.78,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/5151895cafdb9e3e8373315c31ccd75f_23401fca-afd5-48f1-88bc-485e41d22f26.jpg?v=1785471677","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/merit-brass-xnl112-4032-reducer-coupling-2-5x2-in-fnpt-brass","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
