Asc 318905684 Black Steel Hex Bushing 3/4 X 1/4 Inch

Product Description

The ASC ENGINEERED SOLUTIONS 318905684 is a black steel threaded hex bushing designed to reduce pipe connections from a larger female thread to a smaller male thread. At 3/4 inch by 1/4 inch, this bushing provides a compact, threaded transition between pipe sections in gas, air, or compatible fluid piping systems. The hex body allows for standard wrench engagement during installation. Weighing 0.18 pounds, it is a durable, low-profile fitting suited for use by licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and HVAC technicians in both residential and light commercial applications.

This hex bushing is commonly used in gas distribution piping, HVAC refrigerant-adjacent piping, compressed air lines, and general plumbing systems where a 3/4 inch to 1/4 inch threaded reduction is required. It is a straightforward mechanical fitting used wherever a threaded pipe size step-down is needed at a joint, valve, or equipment connection port.

Key Features

• Black steel construction for strength and durability in standard pipe applications
• Threaded hex body design allows secure wrench engagement for proper torque
• 3/4 inch female to 1/4 inch male threaded reduction in a single compact fitting
• Lightweight at 0.18 pounds for easy handling and installation
• Suitable for use in gas, air, and compatible fluid piping systems

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation hex bushing for standard threaded pipe systems requiring a 3/4 inch to 1/4 inch reduction in black steel pipe configurations.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber, pipefitter, or HVAC technician in accordance with applicable local codes, including IFGC requirements for gas piping applications. Shut off and depressurize the line fully before removing or installing any threaded fitting. Apply appropriate thread sealant or tape rated for the specific service medium before threading the bushing into place. Do not overtighten by using pipe wrenches beyond hand-tight plus standard turns, as black steel fittings can crack if excessive force is applied to mating threads.
