Asc 361330400 Forged Steel Hex Bushing 1/2 X 1/4 in 3000 Lb

Product Description

The ASC Engineered Solutions 361330400 is a forged steel threaded hex bushing designed to reduce pipe connections from a 1/2 inch female thread to a 1/4 inch male thread. Built to a 3000 lb pressure rating, this Class 3000 fitting is suited for high-pressure piping systems where a reliable, leak-resistant threaded reduction is required. The hex head allows for standard wrench engagement during installation. At 0.08 pounds, it is a compact, dense fitting appropriate for use by licensed plumbers and pipefitters working on industrial, commercial, or mechanical systems.

This hex bushing is used in piping assemblies that require a threaded size reduction without an inline coupling or union. It is commonly installed in compressed air, hydraulic, steam, gas, and water distribution lines where Class 3000 fittings are specified. The forged steel construction makes it appropriate for higher-pressure environments typical of commercial mechanical rooms, industrial plants, and process piping installations.

Key Features

• Forged steel construction for high-pressure service
• 3000 lb pressure class rating
• 1/2 inch female to 1/4 inch male threaded reduction
• Hex profile for secure wrench engagement during installation
• Compact form factor at 0.08 pounds

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation Class 3000 threaded hex bushing for use in standard NPT forged steel pipe fitting assemblies.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter familiar with threaded steel pipe fittings and applicable codes such as ASME B16.11 and the International Plumbing Code. Depressurize and isolate the piping system completely before removing or installing any threaded fittings. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male threads before engagement. Do not overtighten, as this can crack or distort the fitting body.
