Merit Brass XNL114-3212 Hex Head Pipe Bushing 2x3/4 in

Product Description

The MERIT BRASS XNL114-3212 is a hex head pipe bushing designed to reduce a 2-inch male NPT connection down to a 3/4-inch female NPT port. Machined from brass with a rough finish, this bushing is rated at 125 lb and provides a reliable threaded transition between pipe sizes in pressurized systems. The hex head profile allows for wrench engagement during installation, making it a straightforward fitting for plumbers and pipefitters working in tight spaces or high-torque connections. It is an import fitting suited for general-purpose plumbing and fluid-handling applications.

This bushing is commonly used in residential and light commercial plumbing systems where a reduction from a 2-inch main line to a 3/4-inch branch or fixture connection is required. It is also applicable in heating systems, compressed air lines, and fluid distribution assemblies that rely on standard NPT threaded fittings. The MNPT x FNPT end style makes it a direct drop-in for standard pipe thread configurations without additional adapters.

Key Features

• Hex head design allows secure wrench engagement for leak-free tightening
• MNPT x FNPT end style for straightforward pipe thread reduction
• 2 x 3/4 inch nominal size covers a common pipe reduction scenario
• 125 lb pressure rating suitable for general plumbing and fluid-handling service
• Brass construction offers corrosion resistance in water and fluid systems

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-fit addition for standard NPT threaded pipe systems requiring a 2-inch to 3/4-inch reduction in residential and light commercial plumbing, heating, or compressed air applications.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or qualified pipefitter. Shut off and depressurize the system completely before removing or installing any threaded fitting. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male threads before assembly, and tighten using a pipe wrench on the hex head. Follow all applicable local plumbing codes and IPC requirements for pressure ratings and approved materials.
