Midland Industries 28683W Reducer Hex Bushing 2x1 in Nylon

Product Description

The MIDLAND INDUSTRIES 28683W is a reducer hex bushing designed to transition between a 2-inch male pipe thread (MPT) inlet and a 1-inch female pipe thread (FPT) outlet. Molded from nylon, this bushing is rated for continuous service from -40 degrees F to 200 degrees F and a working pressure of 125 psi. The thread configuration is 2-11-1/2 on the male end and 1-11-1/2 on the female end, conforming to standard NPT thread form. Its white color aids identification in multi-line installations. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this type of fitting in low-pressure fluid and air distribution systems where a pipe size reduction is needed at a threaded connection point.

This bushing is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing, irrigation, pool and spa, and compressed-air distribution applications where nylon fittings are acceptable per the applicable code. The hex profile accepts a standard wrench for controlled assembly without over-stressing the fitting body. At 0.17 pounds, it is lightweight for overhead or confined-space work. The nylon construction resists many common chemicals and eliminates corrosion concerns in wet environments where metal fittings would be prone to seizing.

Key Features

• Reduces 2-inch MPT to 1-inch FPT in a single threaded fitting
• Nylon construction resists corrosion and many common chemicals
• Rated to 125 psi working pressure
• Wide service temperature range: -40 degrees F to 200 degrees F
• Standard NPT thread form on both ends for broad fitment
• Hex body profile allows wrench assembly for consistent makeup torque

Compatibility

Designed as a standard NPT reducer hex bushing for use in plastic pipe systems accepting 2-inch male and 1-inch female threaded connections.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or qualified pipefitter in accordance with the applicable plumbing code (IPC or local equivalent). Shut off and depressurize the system before making or breaking any threaded connection. Apply thread sealant compatible with nylon fittings; avoid PTFE tape overtightening, which can crack plastic fittings. Do not exceed the rated pressure or temperature limits of this fitting.
