The Anvil 2 in. MPT x 1 in. D FPT Black Malleable Iron Hex Bushing is a rugged, precision-engineered connector designed to bridge a 2" male pipe thread to a 1" female pipe thread with confidence. Crafted from durable malleable iron and finished in a corrosion-resistant black coating, this hex bushing delivers reliable sealing and dependable performance in a variety of piping systems up to 300 psi.
Key benefits that set this bushing apart
-
Hex wrench convenience: A true hex body provides easy gripping and multiple wrenching surfaces, reducing the risk of rounding and making installation possible in tighter spaces.
-
Robust material: Malleable iron combines strength with ductility, offering better resistance to impact and vibration compared to brittle alternatives—ideal for hard-wearing industrial and utility setups.
-
Direct MPT to FPT configuration: Quickly convert a 2" male thread to a 1" female thread without adapters, simplifying complex piping runs and minimizing potential leak points.
-
All-purpose performance: Rated up to 300 psi, this reducer bushing suits water lines, compressed air systems, and other moderate-pressure applications where a compact, reliable connector is essential.
-
Durable finish: Black finish not only provides a clean, professional appearance but also adds a layer of protection against corrosion in typical service environments.
Practical use cases
- Residential and commercial water distribution projects that require a 2" MPT to 1" FPT transition in tight spaces.
- HVAC and industrial piping runs where a compact reducer with standard NPT-style threads is needed.
- Renovation or retrofit tasks where replacing bulky fittings with a streamlined hex bushing saves space and simplifies assembly.
Installation tips for a reliable seal
- Apply appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to male threads to ensure a tight, leak-free connection.
- Use two wrenches: one to hold the hex body and one to tighten the mating fitting, avoiding over-tightening that could damage threads.
- Check thread compatibility before installation and ensure the 2" MPT and 1" FPT ends are clean and free of debris for a proper seal.
