Asc 361330509 Threaded Hex Bushing 1/2 in X 3/8 in 3000 Lb

Product Description

The ASC ENGINEERED SOLUTIONS 361330509 is a forged steel threaded hex bushing rated for 3000 lb pressure service. It reduces a 1/2-inch female thread to a 3/8-inch male thread, allowing technicians to adapt pipe runs and fittings without additional couplings. The hex body provides a secure wrench flat for proper torque application during assembly. This bushing is suited for high-pressure piping systems where a reliable, compact thread reduction is needed. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters typically install this fitting in industrial, commercial, and mechanical piping applications.

This bushing is designed for use in threaded piping systems operating under high-pressure conditions. Its 3000 lb pressure rating makes it appropriate for steam, water, oil, and gas line installations where standard 150 lb or 300 lb fittings are insufficient. The forged steel construction ensures consistent wall thickness and mechanical integrity across the full range of service conditions typical in commercial and industrial mechanical systems.

Key Features

• Forged steel construction for consistent strength and pressure containment
• 3000 lb pressure rating for high-pressure piping service
• Reduces 1/2-inch female thread to 3/8-inch male thread in a single fitting
• Hex body design allows standard wrench engagement for secure installation
• Compact form factor minimizes added length in tight piping runs

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for threaded high-pressure piping systems requiring a 1/2-inch to 3/8-inch bushing reduction at 3000 lb class service.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable local mechanical and plumbing codes. Shut off and depressurize the system completely before removing or installing any threaded fittings. Apply appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to male threads before assembly. Do not over-tighten; use the hex flats and a proper fitting wrench to achieve a secure, leak-free joint without stressing the fitting body.
