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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eForged steel construction for high-strength, high-pressure service\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eClass 3000 pressure rating suitable for demanding piping systems\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1.5-inch female to 1-inch male threaded configuration for pipe size reduction\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHex profile provides positive wrench engagement during installation\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCompact profile at 0.56 pounds for use in space-constrained assemblies\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: Forged Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFitting Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.5 inches x 1 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eType\u003c\/strong\u003e: Threaded Hex Bushing\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePressure Class\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3000\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.56 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: ASC Engineered Solutions\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 361332604\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"ASC ENGINEERED SOLUTIONS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51233704214834,"sku":"0361332604","price":15.41,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/307631047.jpg?v=1780107171","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/asc-361332604-forged-steel-threaded-hex-bushing-1-5x1-in","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
