Machined from brass with a rough finish, this bushing is rated at 125 lb and is a standard fitting for low-pressure plumbing, gas distribution, and fluid handling systems. The hex head design allows for wrench engagement during installation, providing controlled torque without slippage. Plumbers and pipefitters install this type of fitting wherever a threaded reducer is required between nominal pipe sizes in a threaded assembly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis bushing is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing applications, including water distribution, compressed air lines, and compatible gas piping systems. The MNPT x FNPT configuration allows it to thread directly into a female fitting or valve body while accepting a smaller male pipe or nipple on the inlet side. Its brass construction offers corrosion resistance in wet and humid environments where iron fittings would be prone to rust.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHex head design enables wrench tightening for secure, leak-free installation\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMNPT x FNPT end style for standard threaded pipe assembly\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e2-inch to 1-1\/2-inch nominal size reduction in a single fitting\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e125 lb pressure rating suitable for low-pressure plumbing and gas service\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBrass construction resists corrosion in water and air service environments\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRough finish compatible with standard pipe thread sealants and tape\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for standard 2-inch MNPT to 1-1\/2-inch FNPT threaded pipe systems in plumbing and fluid handling applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis fitting is installed by licensed plumbers or pipefitters working on threaded pipe systems. Shut off and depressurize the line fully before removing or installing any threaded fitting. Apply an approved thread sealant compound or PTFE tape to the male threads before assembly. Tighten using a pipe wrench on the hex head — do not overtighten, as brass threads can strip or crack under excessive force.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNominal Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2 x 1-1\/2 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEnd Style\u003c\/strong\u003e: MNPT x FNPT\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePressure Rating\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  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHead Style\u003c\/strong\u003e: Hex\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOrigin\u003c\/strong\u003e: Import\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: XNL114-3224\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"MERIT BRASS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51524378198322,"sku":"BUSH2112LF","price":34.33,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/b8787ce69603ceaa66c524dcc5cd48ac_5abe2914-f193-47ad-8fc8-a47e6897442a.jpg?v=1785447465","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/merit-brass-xnl114-3224-hex-head-pipe-bushing-2x1-5in","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
