Asc 361330905 Forged Steel Hex Bushing 3/4x1/2 3000lb

Product Description

The ASC ENGINEERED SOLUTIONS 361330905 is a forged steel threaded hex bushing rated for 3000 lb service. It reduces a 3/4-inch female threaded port down to a 1/2-inch male threaded connection, making it a standard fitting for high-pressure piping assemblies. The hex body allows installation and removal with a wrench, providing solid mechanical purchase in tight spaces. Forged steel construction delivers the wall strength and thread integrity required in demanding pressure applications. Licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and mechanical contractors typically specify this fitting in steam, compressed air, hydraulic, and industrial process piping systems.

This bushing is suited for both commercial and industrial piping installations where reducing threaded connections must maintain pressure integrity. It is commonly installed in pipe headers, valve manifolds, instrumentation taps, and equipment connections where a 3/4-inch threaded port must be reduced to accept 1/2-inch pipe or fittings. The 3000 lb pressure class positions it for heavy-duty service beyond standard 150 lb fittings.

Key Features

• Forged steel construction for high-strength, high-pressure service
• 3000 lb pressure rating for demanding industrial and mechanical applications
• Reduces 3/4-inch female thread to 1/2-inch male thread in a single fitting
• Hex body profile allows full wrench engagement during installation
• Threaded connection type for straightforward field assembly without special tooling

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation component for 3000 lb class threaded forged steel piping systems using NPT connections.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed pipefitters or plumbers following applicable codes such as ASME B31.1 or ASME B31.3 for pressure piping. Isolate and fully depressurize the piping system before removing or installing any threaded fittings. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male threads before assembly and tighten using a wrench on the hex body. Do not use pipe wrenches directly on the hex flats in a way that could damage adjacent fittings or pipe sections.
