2 inch x 1 inch Black Iron Bushing

Black Iron Hex Bushing 2 inch x 1 inch – Threaded Reducing Fitting for Gas and Water Systems

The 2 inch x 1 inch Black Iron Hex Bushing is engineered to reduce pipe size in threaded iron pipe systems. Commonly used in both gas and hydronic distribution networks, this fitting allows for a transition between female-threaded openings and smaller male-threaded pipe sizes, delivering a secure and durable connection.

Manufactured from malleable iron with a black oxide finish, this bushing is suitable for non-corrosive systems where galvanization is not required. The hex body provides a wrench-friendly profile for controlled installation in systems requiring precise torque application. When installed with compatible iron pipe and approved sealants, it supports safe operation under pressure and temperature ranges found in typical building mechanical systems.

Application and Features

• Material: Malleable Black Iron
• Thread Type: NPT – Complies with ANSI B1.20.1 standards
• End Connections: 2 inch Male NPT x 1 inch Female NPT
• Finish: Black oxide coating for low-corrosion indoor environments
• Design: Hex head for easy wrench tightening

Performance Characteristics

• Pressure Rating: Rated for standard working pressures in gas, steam, or closed-loop water systems
• Temperature Range: Suitable for ambient to elevated temperatures in mechanical applications
• Code Compliance: Meets applicable plumbing and mechanical codes when installed according to system specifications

Installation Considerations

Apply approved thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male threads prior to assembly. Use a pipe wrench to engage the hex face and tighten securely into the receiving component. Do not overtighten, as this may compromise the threads or crack adjoining components. This bushing is intended for use in rigid pipe systems with properly aligned fittings to prevent undue stress on the connection.

Typical Uses

Commonly found in industrial gas systems, boiler piping, and commercial-grade plumbing networks, the black iron bushing enables reliable reductions where piping diameters must be matched to specific fixture or valve inlets. It is especially suited for indoor utility rooms, mechanical chases, and equipment tie-ins.

Engineered for strength and simplicity, the 2 inch x 1 inch Black Iron Hex Bushing offers professional-grade performance in critical piping systems. Use this fitting where durability and proper thread engagement are essential for long-term system integrity.
