It features a 3-inch male pipe thread (MPT) on one end and a 1-1\/4-inch female pipe thread (FPT) on the other, making it a direct, compact solution for reducing pipe size without the need for a coupling and nipple combination. Constructed from black malleable iron, the bushing is rated to 150 psi and handles temperatures from -20 degrees F to 350 degrees F. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this fitting in commercial and industrial piping applications where reliable threaded connections are required.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis hex bushing is suited for use in black iron piping systems commonly found in natural gas distribution, compressed air lines, and general-purpose fluid systems in both commercial and light industrial settings. The hex profile allows for standard wrench engagement during installation. Conforms to ANSI B16.3 dimension standards for malleable iron threaded fittings, making it appropriate for code-compliant piping assemblies.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e3-inch MPT x 1-1\/4-inch FPT connection reduces pipe size in a single fitting\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBlack malleable iron construction rated for 150 psi working pressure\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTemperature range of -20 degrees F to 350 degrees F\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2.39-inch hex allows wrench engagement for proper torque application\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1.61-inch length keeps the transition compact in tight spaces\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMeets ANSI B16.3 dimensional standards for malleable iron fittings\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a standard ANSI B16.3 malleable iron threaded hex bushing for use in 150-pound black iron piping systems, compatible with NPT-threaded pipe and fittings of the corresponding sizes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eInstallation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable local codes and the International Fuel Gas Code (IFGC) or International Plumbing Code (IPC) where required. Shut off and depressurize the piping system completely before disassembling or assembling any threaded fittings. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape rated for the intended service medium before making up the joint. Hand-tighten first, then use a pipe wrench on the hex to complete the connection without over-stressing the fitting.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConnection Size 1\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3 inches MPT\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConnection Size 2\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1-1\/4 inches FPT\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\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\u003eHex Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2.39 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.61 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Standard\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3-8\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimension Standard\u003c\/strong\u003e: ANSI B16.3\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.485 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\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: 65549\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"MIDLAND INDUSTRIES","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67952885563698,"sku":"65549","price":29.96,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/af57bfc26d892bd9d6658831a028e2ff_16169873-0bcc-46c4-88f6-117ecf1c5922.jpg?v=1791754143","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/midland-industries-65549-reducer-hex-bushing-3x1-1-4-in","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
