Midland Industries 54064032 Hex Pipe Reducer Bushing

Product Description

The MIDLAND INDUSTRIES 54064032 is a hex pipe reducer bushing designed to transition between a 2-1/2 inch male NPTF connection and a 2 inch female NPTF connection in steel pipe assemblies. Constructed from steel, this bushing provides a secure, pressure-rated threaded joint suitable for hydraulic and fluid power systems. The hex body allows standard wrench engagement for proper installation torque. At 2.27 pounds, the part has substantial wall thickness appropriate for industrial service. Plumbers, pipefitters, and hydraulic technicians install this fitting when reducing pipe size within a run or at an equipment port.

This reducer bushing is suited for hydraulic lines, fluid transfer systems, and steel pipe assemblies in industrial and commercial environments. It falls within the 5406 Series hex pipe reducer bushing product line. Typical installations include equipment manifolds, pump ports, and pipe distribution headers where a 2-1/2 inch supply line must transition to a 2 inch branch or equipment inlet. The NPTF thread form provides a dry-seal connection, reducing reliance on thread sealant to achieve a leak-free joint.

Key Features

• 2-1/2 inch male NPTF x 2 inch female NPTF thread configuration for reliable size reduction
• NPTF dry-seal threads minimize leak paths without requiring additional sealant
• Hex body profile allows full wrench engagement during installation and removal
• Steel construction suitable for hydraulic and industrial fluid system pressures
• Part of the 5406 Series hex pipe reducer bushing line for consistent fitment

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for steel pipe systems requiring a 2-1/2 inch male NPTF to 2 inch female NPTF reducing bushing in hydraulic or industrial fluid power applications.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified pipefitter or hydraulic technician familiar with NPTF thread standards and applicable system pressure requirements. Depressurize and drain the system completely before removing or installing any pipe fitting. Use a calibrated torque wrench on the hex body and follow applicable industry standards for thread engagement on NPTF fittings. Inspect threads for damage before installation and verify the joint is leak-free before returning the system to service.
