Asc 318905528 Black Steel Hex Bushing 1/2 X 1/4 Inch

Product Description

The ASC ENGINEERED SOLUTIONS 318905528 is a black steel threaded hex bushing designed to reduce pipe connections from a larger to a smaller diameter. This fitting transitions a 1/2-inch female thread to a 1/4-inch male thread using a standard hex body that accepts a wrench for secure installation. Black steel construction provides durability in moderate-pressure piping applications. At 0.09 pounds, it is a compact, lightweight fitting suited for gas, air, and other compatible piping systems. Licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and HVAC technicians typically install this type of bushing during rough-in or service work.

This hex bushing is used in residential and light commercial piping systems where a threaded size reduction is required in-line. Common applications include natural gas and propane distribution lines, compressed air systems, and black iron pipe assemblies. The hex body allows installation with standard pipe wrenches or an appropriately sized open-end wrench without the need for specialty tooling.

Key Features

• Black steel construction for durability in gas and air piping applications
• Threaded hex body style for secure wrench engagement during installation
• 1/2-inch female x 1/4-inch male thread configuration for in-line size reduction

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard fitting for black iron threaded pipe systems requiring a 1/2-inch to 1/4-inch reduction bushing.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber, pipefitter, or HVAC technician in accordance with applicable local codes, including the International Fuel Gas Code (IFGC) or International Plumbing Code (IPC) where applicable. Shut off and depressurize the supply line completely before removing or installing any threaded fitting. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or pipe tape rated for the intended service medium before threading the bushing into place. Do not overtighten, as this can damage threads or crack fittings.
