Midland Industries 65534DT Double Tapped Bushing 2x1.5in Iron

Product Description

The MIDLAND INDUSTRIES 65534DT is a double tapped bushing designed to reduce a 2-inch male pipe thread (MPT) connection to a 1-1/2-inch female pipe thread (FPT) connection in threaded piping systems. Constructed from malleable iron with a black finish, this fitting carries a 150 psi pressure rating and meets ANSI B16.3 dimension standards. It is rated for service across a temperature range of -20 to 350 degrees F, making it suitable for both low-temperature and moderate-heat applications. Plumbers and pipefitters install this type of bushing where pipe size transitions are needed within a threaded run.

The 65534DT is suited for use in residential and light commercial plumbing, gas distribution, and mechanical piping systems where a concentric threaded reduction is required. The external MPT thread engages the larger pipe or fitting, while the internal FPT thread accepts the smaller downstream pipe. This fitting is appropriate for applications where malleable iron construction is specified for added durability and ductility under mechanical stress and vibration.

Key Features

• 2 in MPT x 1-1/2 in FPT double tapped configuration provides a concentric pipe size reduction
• 150 psi pressure rating suitable for standard threaded piping systems
• Malleable iron construction offers ductility and resistance to mechanical stress
• Meets ANSI B16.3 dimension standards for threaded malleable iron fittings
• Rated -20 to 350 degrees F for broad service temperature compatibility
• Black finish identifies standard (non-galvanized) malleable iron product

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for 150-pound rated malleable iron threaded piping systems requiring a 2-inch to 1-1/2-inch bushing reduction.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable local plumbing and mechanical codes. Shut off and depressurize the piping system before removing or installing any threaded fittings. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male threads before assembly. Do not overtighten, as malleable iron fittings can crack under excessive torque.
