I'm looking for some eccentric bushings for use in setting up a new run of used radiators. 2" x 1.25" and also 1.5" x 1.25". Anyone have a source who will ship to Vermont? Many thanks,
Dennis

    Another option is to use a reducing ell or street ell or reduce it vertically

    Searching for ECCENTRIC REDUCING COUPLINGS may give better results. Its easier to get an eccentric reduction in a horizontal run of piping with an eccentric coupling than with a bushing.

    I have an eccentric Aunt Dorothy, perhaps she has some bushings in her pantry! I'll call and ask her. ...Will get back to you on this!

    After you make that expensive repair and you still have the same problem, What will you check next?

    I have not seen eccentric bushing in a while. couplings are available but $$$. Reducing with an elbow as @mattmia2 is the simplest and best way if you can do it

    Thank you for all the suggestions. I was hoping to use bushings, but will probably end up going with couplings unless I can find a used radiator shop that might have some old bushings. Reducing on the vertical is not a possibility in this situation. Thanks again for the suggestions,
