Ecentric Bushing

steveo1

Hello everyone
Where in the world can I find a 2" x 1/2" Ecentric bushing for a Steam radiator.
I've been able to find a coupling however my riser pipes want allow for any movement.

Steamhead

Use one of those bushings they use on oil tanks, 2-inch with two 1/2" tappings in it. Many times these come with brass fittings already installed, so take them out and use them for something else. Plug the remaining hole.

Edit- you can get these from R.E. Michel as catalog # 8K107.

I wish I had known about that part! I looked long and hard for eccentric bushings. I salvaged a few from some scrap radiators. I also found that you can use a short 2" nipple and an eccentric reducing coupling, which is available from Anvil. But, space limitations may make that not an option in some cases.

I found a 2x1/2x1/2 oil tank bushing like Steamhead recommended.
Thank you all that posted.
Johnstone Supply had one along with RE Michel

Great idea. We call them duplex tank bushings.

I have had to go old school and make them. Forged plugs are available with a hex head. I then drill and tap the plug to suit what I need.

Zoro supply actually carries eccentric reducers.

We are looking for bushings not couplings though.

Opps didn't see that.

No problem. We all do that at times. Me especially.
