Midland Industries 65549DT Double Tapped Bushing

Product Description

The MIDLAND INDUSTRIES 65549DT is a double tapped bushing designed to reduce a 3-inch male pipe thread (MPT) connection down to a 1-1/4-inch female pipe thread (FPT) connection. Constructed from malleable iron with a black finish, this fitting is rated for 150 psi working pressure and a temperature range of -20 to 350 degrees F. It conforms to ANSI B16.3 dimensional standards. Plumbers and pipefitters rely on this type of bushing when transitioning between pipe sizes within a threaded iron pipe system, making it a standard component in gas, water, and air distribution lines.

The 65549DT is suited for residential and light commercial piping installations where a threaded iron reduction fitting is required. Its malleable iron construction handles moderate mechanical stress and vibration, making it appropriate for use in mechanical rooms, boiler systems, compressed air lines, and gas distribution headers. The black finish is typical for non-potable gas and air service applications. This fitting installs without special tooling beyond a pipe wrench and appropriate thread sealant.

Key Features

• 3 in MPT x 1-1/4 in FPT connection for pipe size reduction in threaded systems
• Malleable iron construction rated for 150 psi working pressure
• Temperature rating of -20 to 350 degrees F suits gas and hydronic applications
• Conforms to ANSI B16.3 dimensional standards for consistent fitment
• Black finish appropriate for gas and non-potable service lines

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for 150-pound class malleable iron threaded piping systems conforming to ANSI B16.3.

Installation Notes

Installation 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 relevant. Shut off and depressurize the line before disassembly or installation. Apply an approved thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male threads before assembly. Do not overtighten threaded iron fittings, as excessive force can crack malleable iron castings.
