Constructed from malleable iron with a black finish, this fitting handles pressures up to 150 psi and operates across a temperature range of -20 to 350 degrees F. The 1.12-inch hex allows for standard wrench engagement during installation. At 1.29 inches in length, it is a compact, direct-thread fitting suited for gas, air, and fluid distribution lines. Licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and HVAC technicians install this type of fitting when connecting smaller-diameter branch lines or instrumentation ports to larger pipe runs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis hex bushing is used in residential and light commercial piping applications where a large-diameter pipe or fitting needs to accept a smaller threaded connection. Typical scenarios include reducing a 2-inch pipe outlet to accept a 1\/4-inch pressure gauge, petcock, or branch fitting. The malleable iron construction makes it appropriate for gas distribution, compressed air, and steam systems within its rated pressure and temperature limits. It conforms to ANSI B 16.3 dimensional standards, ensuring consistent thread engagement and fitment with standard pipe and fittings of the same specification.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eReduces 2-inch MPT to 1\/4-inch FPT in a single compact fitting\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMalleable iron construction rated to 150 psi working pressure\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eTemperature range of -20 to 350 degrees F suits gas, air, and steam service\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e2-11-1\/2 thread form on the male end for standard pipe compatibility\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1.12-inch hex for secure wrench grip during installation and removal\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eConforms to ANSI B 16.3 dimensional standards\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement or new-install fitting for 150-pound malleable iron piping systems conforming to ANSI B 16.3, compatible with standard 2-inch and 1\/4-inch NPT pipe and fittings in gas, air, and fluid service applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation should be performed by a licensed plumber, pipefitter, or qualified HVAC technician in accordance with applicable local codes and IFGC or IPC requirements. Shut off and depressurize the line completely before installing or removing any threaded fitting. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male threads before assembly, and tighten to snug plus wrench-tight using the hex. Do not over-torque malleable iron fittings, as the material can crack under excessive force.\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: 1\/4 inch (FPT)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConnection Type 1\u003c\/strong\u003e: Male Pipe Thread (MPT)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConnection Type 2\u003c\/strong\u003e: Female Pipe Thread (FPT)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Specification\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2-11-1\/2\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: 1.29 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.35 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWidth\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2.3 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum Pressure\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\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish\u003c\/strong\u003e: Black\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: 0.52 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: 64526\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"MIDLAND INDUSTRIES","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67951618294066,"sku":"64526","price":18.35,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/ed9f457efaf658a5678960065c5cdb3e.jpg?v=1791731103","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/midland-industries-64526-reducer-hex-bushing-2x1-4-in-mpt-fpt","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
