Midland Industries 54053232 Pipe Expander 2in Mnptf X Fnptf

Product Description

The MIDLAND INDUSTRIES 54053232 is a steel pipe expander fitting designed to connect same-size threaded pipe runs where a male-to-female NPTF transition is required. Rated for use in hydraulic and general steel pipe adapter applications, this fitting measures 2.66 inches in length and weighs 1.815 pounds. Both connection points are 2-inch NPTF threaded with a 2-11-1/2 thread specification, ensuring a pressure-tight, tapered-thread seal without the need for additional sealant compounds in many applications. It is installed by plumbers, pipefitters, and hydraulic system technicians working on steel pipe assemblies.

This fitting is suited for hydraulic piping systems and steel pipe adapter configurations in both industrial and commercial settings. As part of the 5405 Series MNPT to FNPT Expander line, it provides a reliable same-diameter male-to-female NPTF connection where a threaded inline transition is needed. Typical installation scenarios include connecting threaded steel pipe sections in hydraulic circuits or fluid transfer lines that require a male-entry, female-exit adapter in a compact form factor.

Key Features

• Same-size 2-inch NPTF connections on both ends for male-to-female inline transitions
• Steel construction for durability in hydraulic and industrial pipe systems
• NPTF tapered thread profile promotes pressure-tight sealing on both connection points
• Thread specification of 2-11-1/2 on both ends ensures standard compatibility
• Compact design at 2.66 inches length for use in tighter installation spaces

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard-fit adapter for steel pipe systems using 2-inch NPTF male and female threaded connections in hydraulic and industrial fluid transfer applications.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified pipefitter or hydraulic technician familiar with NPTF tapered-thread fittings. Depressurize and drain the system completely before removing or installing any pipe fittings. Apply appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape as required by system specifications and applicable codes. Avoid overtightening, which can crack steel fittings or distort thread sealing surfaces.
