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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBlack steel construction for durability in gas and air piping applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThreaded hex body style for secure wrench engagement during installation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1\/2-inch female x 1\/4-inch male thread configuration for in-line size reduction\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompact and lightweight at 0.09 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStandard threaded connection for compatibility with black iron pipe systems\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eInstallation 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: Black Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFitting Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/2 inch x 1\/4 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eType\u003c\/strong\u003e: Threaded Hex Bushing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.09 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: ASC ENGINEERED SOLUTIONS\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 318905528\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"ASC ENGINEERED SOLUTIONS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51233630912818,"sku":"0318905528","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/307627249.jpg?v=1780105163","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/asc-318905528-black-steel-hex-bushing-1-2-x-1-4-inch","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
