Constructed from malleable iron with a galvanized finish, this fitting is rated for 150 psi and handles temperatures from -20 degrees F to 350 degrees F. The hex body measures 1.12 inches across flats, allowing a standard pipe wrench or adjustable wrench to seat it securely. It conforms to ANSI B 16.3 dimension standards. Plumbers, pipefitters, and mechanical contractors use this fitting in gas, water, and general piping systems where a pipe size reduction is needed at a threaded connection point.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis reducer hex bushing is suited for residential and light commercial piping applications including gas distribution lines, water supply systems, and compressed air piping. The 2-11-1\/2 thread profile on the male end is the standard taper thread used across galvanized malleable iron 150-pound fittings. The galvanized coating provides corrosion resistance in exposed or moderately humid environments. Its compact hex profile makes it practical in tight spaces where a full coupling or union would not fit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eReduces 2 in MPT to 3\/8 in FPT in a single fitting\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMalleable iron construction with galvanized finish for corrosion resistance\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRated to 150 psi working pressure\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eTemperature range of -20 degrees F to 350 degrees F\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eConforms to ANSI B 16.3 dimension standards\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1.12-inch hex body for wrench engagement\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for galvanized 150-pound malleable iron piping systems using standard NPT threaded connections.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter following applicable codes such as the IPC or IFGC depending on the fluid or gas being conveyed. Shut off and depressurize the piping system fully before removing any existing fittings. Apply a code-approved pipe thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male threads before assembly, and tighten with a properly sized pipe wrench to achieve a leak-free connection without over-stressing the fitting. Pressure-test the system after installation before returning it to service.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConnection Size 1\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2 inches MPT\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConnection Size 2\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\/8 inches FPT\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Standard\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2-11-1\/2 NPT taper thread\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHex Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.12 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.28 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePressure Rating\u003c\/strong\u003e: 150 psi\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTemperature Range\u003c\/strong\u003e: -20 to 350 degrees F\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: Malleable Iron, Galvanized\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimension Standard\u003c\/strong\u003e: ANSI B 16.3\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.95 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: MIDLAND INDUSTRIES\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 64525\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"MIDLAND INDUSTRIES","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67948952650034,"sku":"64525","price":27.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/53a50b46a1f526bb0bcdecf0c190171c.jpg?v=1791677901","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/midland-industries-64525-reducer-hex-bushing-2x3-8-in-iron","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
