Midland Industries 62453MS Reducing Coupling 2x1-1/4 in Npt Ss

Product Description

The MIDLAND INDUSTRIES 62453MS is a reducing coupling designed to connect a 2-inch female NPT port to a 1-1/4-inch female NPT port in a single inline fitting. Machined from 304 stainless steel, it is rated for 150 lb pressure class service and carries a thread specification of 2-11-1/2 on the larger end and 1-1/4-11-1/2 on the smaller end. The fitting weighs 1.28 pounds and measures approximately 2.85 inches in length, 2.9 inches in width, and 2.5 inches in height. Plumbers and pipefitters install this type of coupling when transitioning between two different pipe diameters within a threaded piping system.

This reducing coupling is suited for use in residential and commercial plumbing, industrial process piping, and fluid-handling systems where a step-down from 2-inch to 1-1/4-inch threaded pipe is required. The 304 stainless steel construction makes it appropriate for systems that require corrosion resistance, including water supply lines, chemical transfer applications, and other services where carbon steel or brass fittings are not preferred. It installs using standard NPT-threaded pipe and fittings with compatible thread sealant or tape.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter. Shut off and depressurize the system before removing or installing any threaded fittings. Apply an appropriate PTFE thread tape or pipe thread sealant to the male threads before making up the joint. Verify that all connections meet applicable code requirements, such as the International Plumbing Code (IPC) or relevant local standards.
