STZ Industries 2 in MIP x 1/2 in FIP Galvanized Malleable Iron Hex Bushing is a rugged, reliable size-reduction fitting designed to bridge a 2" male iron pipe thread (MIP) to a 1/2" female iron pipe thread (FIP) in a single, compact hex body. Built for hard-wearing piping systems, this bushing handles demanding environments while delivering a precise, leak-tight connection.
Key advantages you’ll notice with this hex bushing include a durable malleable iron core combined with a galvanized finish that resists rust and corrosion in both indoor and outdoor installations. The hex head provides an easy grip for tightening in tight spaces, reducing the risk of thread damage and ensuring a secure seal with the right wrench.
Lead-free construction supports modern code requirements, making it suitable for a variety of applications, including potable water systems where lead-free hardware is mandated. The component is designed for dependable service in plumbing, irrigation, and light industrial piping where reliable size reduction is essential.
Best-use scenarios
- Converting a 2" MIP service line to a 1/2" FIP branch for fixtures, valves, or small-diameter runs.
- Retrofits and repairs in galvanized iron, steel, or cast-iron piping networks where a compact reducer is needed.
- Outdoor installations such as irrigation mains and building service lines where corrosion protection is important.
- Potable water projects that require lead-free, corrosion-resistant fittings.
