Midland Industries 62527B1 Barstock Hex Bushing 2x0.5in Ss

Product Description

The MIDLAND INDUSTRIES 62527B1 is a barstock hex bushing machined from 304 stainless steel, designed to reduce a 2-inch male pipe thread (MPT) connection down to a 1/2-inch female pipe thread (FPT) port. Rated at 1000/3000 lb pressure class, this fitting delivers the wall thickness and material strength required for demanding fluid and gas piping systems. At 1.65 pounds, the solid barstock construction resists corrosion and handles the mechanical stress of high-pressure service. It is installed by licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and mechanical contractors wherever a threaded pipe reduction is needed in stainless steel piping assemblies.

This hex bushing is suited for industrial, commercial, and heavy-duty residential piping applications where corrosion resistance and pressure integrity are required. Common installation scenarios include process piping, chemical handling lines, steam systems, and compressed gas distribution. The hex flats allow standard wrench engagement for controlled makeup torque. It fits into any system calling for a 2-inch to 1/2-inch NPT reducing bushing in 304 stainless steel at 1000 lb or 3000 lb pressure ratings.

Key Features

• 304 stainless steel barstock construction for corrosion resistance in aggressive media
• 2-inch MPT inlet reduces to 1/2-inch FPT outlet in a single fitting
• 1000/3000 lb pressure class rating for high-pressure service
• Hex body design allows wrench engagement for secure installation
• Solid barstock machining provides consistent wall thickness throughout

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for threaded stainless steel piping systems requiring a 2-inch MPT to 1/2-inch FPT reducing bushing at 1000/3000 lb pressure class.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable mechanical and plumbing codes, including IPC and IFGC where relevant. Depressurize and isolate the piping system completely before removing or installing any threaded fitting. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male threads before makeup. Do not use pipe wrenches on the FPT port threads to avoid deforming the fitting body.
