GROCO 2" NPT x 2" ID Bronze Pipe to Hose Straight Fitting

The GROCO 2" NPT x 2" ID Bronze Pipe to Hose Straight Fitting is a heavy-duty marine and industrial plumbing connector designed to join threaded NPT pipe to flexible hose without leakage or vibration-induced failure. Manufactured from C83600 bronze—a corrosion-resistant alloy optimized for saltwater and high-pressure fluid transfer—this fitting provides a secure, reliable connection in demanding offshore, agricultural, and industrial pump applications where standard galvanized or stainless steel fittings may corrode or fail under constant stress.

The 2-inch NPT male thread connects directly to standard pipe taps, while the 2-inch inner diameter (ID) hose barb accepts common 2-inch flexible tubing for bilge pumps, cooling systems, and fuel transfer lines. Bronze construction delivers exceptional durability in salt spray and corrosive marine environments where brass or aluminum would pit or degrade within months. The straight configuration maintains flow path integrity without directional constraints, and UL Listed certification (647B) confirms compliance with safety standards for fluid systems. Standard flow rating ensures minimal pressure drop across the fitting during continuous operation.

This fitting serves marine vessel operators, agricultural contractors, industrial maintenance teams, and off-grid water system builders who require fittings rated for non-potable applications. GROCO's sizing range (1/2" through 5") confirms the brand's comprehensive fitting portfolio, making replacement and expansion straightforward. Note that C83600 bronze does not meet NSF-61 potable water standards, restricting use to industrial, marine, and non-drinking-water systems—an important compliance consideration for commercial installations.
