Asc 361332703 Forged Steel Threaded Hex Bushing 1.5x1.25 in

Product Description

The ASC ENGINEERED SOLUTIONS 361332703 is a forged steel threaded hex bushing rated for 3000 lb pressure service. It reduces a 1-1/2 inch female NPT connection down to a 1-1/4 inch male NPT thread, making it a standard fitting used to adapt pipe sizes within high-pressure piping systems. At 0.31 pounds, this bushing is a compact, heavy-duty component suited for use in industrial, mechanical, and plumbing installations where reliable pressure ratings and a secure threaded connection are required. Licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and mechanical contractors are the typical installers of fittings in this class.

This bushing is designed for use in high-pressure threaded piping systems, including steam, water, oil, and gas service lines where Class 3000 fittings are specified. The hex profile allows for standard wrench engagement during installation, which is essential in tight or confined spaces. It fits into pipeline layouts where a reduction from 1-1/2 inch to 1-1/4 inch pipe is needed without the use of a coupling and separate reducer.

Key Features

• Forged steel construction for strength and durability in high-pressure service
• 3000 lb pressure rating meets Class 3000 threaded fitting standards
• Reduces 1-1/2 inch female NPT to 1-1/4 inch male NPT in a single fitting
• Hex profile allows wrench-flat engagement for controlled tightening
• Compact and lightweight at 0.31 pounds for easy handling and installation

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for Class 3000 threaded forged steel piping systems requiring a 1-1/2 inch to 1-1/4 inch reduction.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable mechanical and plumbing codes, including ASME and local IPC requirements. 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-torque the fitting, as forged steel threads can be damaged by excessive force without proper lubrication.
