Hex Reducing Bushing 304 Stainless

This 304 stainless steel hex reducing bushing connects a 3 inch male NPT thread to a 2 inch female NPT thread. It is rated for Class 3000 service in plumbing and industrial piping systems. The fitting is new and intended for joining pipes of different sizes.

Thread Standard and Pressure Class

The bushing uses National Pipe Taper threads with 8 threads per inch on the male end and 11 1/2 threads per inch on the female end. Its Class 3000 rating defines the maximum pressure it can handle in the system. Proper thread engagement and sealant are required to achieve a leak-free joint within that rating.

Capacity and Application Limits

The fitting comfortably handles standard plumbing and hydraulic connections where a 3 inch to 2 inch reduction is needed. It runs out when system pressure exceeds the Class 3000 limit or when the media is incompatible with 304 stainless steel. The product carries a California Proposition 65 warning for chemicals known to cause cancer and reproductive harm.

Questions about this item

Should I choose the 304 stainless steel version or a different material for this reducing bushing?

The 304 stainless steel construction provides corrosion resistance suitable for many plumbing applications and meets Class 3000 pressure ratings.

What does the Class 3000 rating mean when the bushing is installed in a piping system?

Class 3000 indicates the pressure rating for this forged fitting, meaning it is designed to handle high-pressure service within the limits of the 304 stainless steel material.

How do the MNPT and FNPT threads with 8 and 11 1/2 threads per inch affect compatibility?

The male end uses 8 threads per inch NPT and the female end uses 11 1/2 threads per inch NPT, matching standard taper pipe thread dimensions for 3 inch and 2 inch nominal sizes respectively.
