Smith-Cooper 2 in. MPT x 1-1/2 in. D FPT Stainless Steel Hex Bushing provides a secure, time-saving transition from a 2" male pipe thread (MPT) to a 1-1/2" female pipe thread (FPT) with a compact, hex-shaped body built for tough environments. This stainless steel bushing is designed to simplify installations where space is limited and reliability matters.
Why this hex bushing stands out
-
Stainless steel construction delivers robust corrosion resistance in water, HVAC, and industrial systems, helping your setup endure the elements and mix of fluids over time.
-
Hex head design enables easy wrench grip in tight or awkward spaces, reducing installation time and effort.
-
Lead-free composition aligns with safety standards for potable water and compliant piping systems.
-
Precise NPT transition from 2" MPT to 1-1/2" FPT provides a reliable, single-component solution without extra fittings or adapters.
-
Rated up to 300 psi maximum working pressure, making it suitable for a wide range of everyday piping applications.
-
Bagged packaging helps protect the bushing during storage and handling until installation.
-
Durable, single-piece design minimizes leak points and improves long-term performance compared to multi-part setups.
Ideal use cases
Perfect for professional plumbers, HVAC technicians, and industrial maintenance crews who need to downsize from a 2-inch male connection to a 1-1/2-inch female connection without sacrificing strength or reliability. Use in potable water lines, irrigation systems, or any NPT-based fluid handling setup where a compact, high-integrity reducer is required.
Installation tips
- Prepare threads by cleaning and inspecting for damage; replace if thread integrity is compromised.
- Apply a suitable thread sealant (PTFE tape or pipe dope) to the male 2" NPT threads, following standard NPT sealing practices.
- Hand-tighten first, then snug with a wrench until the connection seats firmly. Avoid overtightening to protect the threads.
