Asc 361332604 Forged Steel Threaded Hex Bushing 1.5x1 in

Product Description

The ASC Engineered Solutions 361332604 is a forged steel threaded hex bushing designed to reduce pipe thread sizes in high-pressure piping systems. This Class 3000 fitting accepts a 1.5-inch female thread on the larger end and a 1-inch male thread on the smaller end, allowing plumbers and pipefitters to transition between two common pipe sizes within a single threaded connection. The forged steel construction delivers the strength and pressure integrity required in demanding industrial, commercial, and mechanical piping applications. At 0.56 pounds, it is a compact, heavy-duty component suited for tight installations.

This hex bushing is used in threaded pipe assemblies where a size reduction is needed between two threaded fittings, valves, or equipment ports. Class 3000 forged fittings are standard in commercial mechanical rooms, industrial process piping, steam systems, and high-pressure water lines. The hex profile allows a wrench to seat firmly for proper installation torque without slipping. Pipefitters, plumbers, and mechanical contractors typically specify this fitting when working on carbon steel threaded piping systems.

Key Features

• Forged steel construction for high-strength, high-pressure service
• Class 3000 pressure rating suitable for demanding piping systems
• 1.5-inch female to 1-inch male threaded configuration for pipe size reduction
• Hex profile provides positive wrench engagement during installation
• Compact profile at 0.56 pounds for use in space-constrained assemblies

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for Class 3000 threaded forged steel piping systems using 1.5-inch and 1-inch NPT connections.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable mechanical and plumbing codes. Depressurize and drain the piping system fully before removing or installing any threaded fitting. Apply appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to male threads before assembly. Use a pipe wrench on the hex profile and avoid over-tightening, which can crack fittings or damage threads.
