Midland Industries 62533MS Hex Bushing 2.5 in X 1 in Npt Ss

Product Description

The MIDLAND INDUSTRIES 62533MS is a hex bushing fitting designed to reduce a 2-1/2 inch male NPT connection down to a 1 inch female NPT port. Constructed from 304 stainless steel, this fitting is rated for 150 lb pressure service and delivers corrosion resistance suitable for demanding plumbing, industrial, and HVAC piping applications. The hex profile provides wrench flats for secure, torque-controlled installation using standard pipe wrenches or hex wrenches. Weighing 1.375 pounds, the fitting has a length of 2.9 inches and a width of 2.95 inches, making it a compact reducer for tight piping configurations. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters are the primary installers of this fitting.

This hex bushing is suited for residential and commercial piping systems where a threaded reduction from a larger main line to a smaller branch or equipment inlet is required. Typical applications include process piping, water supply systems, steam lines, and HVAC hydronic distribution where 304 stainless steel is specified for corrosion resistance or sanitary requirements. The male NPT threads engage directly into a female-threaded coupling, valve, or equipment port, while the female NPT end accepts a nipple, pipe, or threaded fitting of the smaller size.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable IPC or local mechanical code requirements. Shut off system pressure and drain the line before removing or installing any threaded fitting. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male NPT threads before assembly. Do not over-tighten; use the hex flats with a wrench rather than gripping the body to avoid distortion.
