2 inch x 3/4 inch Galvanized Cast Iron Bushing

2" x 3/4" Galvanized Iron Bushing – Heavy-Duty Reducing Threaded Fitting

The 2" x 3/4" Galvanized Iron Bushing is a threaded reducing fitting designed to join two different pipe sizes in high-pressure systems. Manufactured from durable malleable iron and finished with a hot-dipped galvanized coating, this bushing ensures structural integrity and corrosion resistance in a variety of plumbing and mechanical applications.

Performance Advantages

• High-Strength Construction: Conforms to ASTM A197 for malleable iron castings, offering excellent tensile strength and impact resistance.
• Corrosion Protection: Zinc galvanizing (per ASTM A153) provides a barrier against rust, especially in damp or outdoor environments.
• Threaded Precision: Machined to ANSI B1.20.1 NPT standards for tight, leak-resistant connections across compatible pipe systems.
• Compact Design: Hex-head bushing allows for efficient installation with minimal space requirements and easy wrench access.
• Temperature and Pressure Rated: Suitable for use in systems transporting air, water, steam, oil, or gas under standard pressure and temperature conditions (verify system limits).

Technical Specifications

• Material: Malleable Cast Iron
• Finish: Hot-Dip Galvanized
• Connection Type: 2" Male NPT x 3/4" Female NPT
• Compliance: ANSI B16.3 and ASME B1.20.1

Installation Recommendations

Use with approved thread sealants or PTFE tape to ensure a leak-proof seal. Apply torque carefully to avoid over-tightening. Threads should be clean and free from debris or corrosion prior to assembly. Follow local code requirements for joint preparation and inspection procedures.

Typical Applications

This galvanized bushing is commonly used in:

• Water supply and distribution systems
• Natural gas and propane piping (where permitted by local code)
• Compressed air or oil transmission lines
• Industrial process piping or mechanical infrastructure

Did You Know?

Reducing bushings are ideal for system modifications where full re-piping isn't feasible. The galvanizing process adds decades of service life, especially in installations subject to moisture or condensation exposure.

The 2" x 3/4" Galvanized Iron Bushing delivers the robust performance and dimensional precision professionals require. It’s a critical solution for adapting pipe systems with reliability and efficiency in every connection.
