Midland Industries 65525DT Double Tapped Bushing 2x3/8 in

Product Description

The MIDLAND INDUSTRIES 65525DT is a double tapped bushing designed to reduce a 2-inch male pipe thread (MPT) connection down to a 3/8-inch female pipe thread (FPT) connection. Constructed from malleable iron with a black finish, this fitting is rated for 150 psi service pressure and handles temperatures from -20 to 350 degrees F. It conforms to ANSI B 16.3 dimensional standards. Plumbers, pipefitters, and mechanical contractors use this type of fitting when transitioning between two different pipe sizes in the same inline run, eliminating the need for a separate coupling and reducing bushing.

This double tapped bushing is suited for residential and light commercial piping applications involving gas, water, or steam distribution systems where a 2-inch to 3/8-inch pipe size reduction is required. Its malleable iron construction makes it appropriate for use in threaded black iron gas piping assemblies as well as general-purpose plumbing and mechanical systems operating within its rated pressure and temperature range.

Key Features

• 2-inch MPT outer thread reduces to 3/8-inch FPT inner thread in a single fitting
• Malleable iron construction with black finish for durability in pipe system service
• Rated to 150 psi working pressure
• Temperature range of -20 to 350 degrees F suits gas and steam applications
• Conforms to ANSI B 16.3 dimensional standards for consistent thread fit

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for threaded malleable iron pipe systems rated at 150 psi, conforming to ANSI B 16.3 standards.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable local codes, the International Fuel Gas Code (IFGC), or the International Plumbing Code (IPC) depending on the service. Shut off gas or water supply and depressurize the line before disassembly or installation. Apply appropriate thread sealant or pipe tape to the male threads before assembly. Do not over-tighten; use a pipe wrench and back-wrench to avoid stressing adjacent fittings.
