Asc 8700128807 Hex Bushing Black Iron 1/4 in X 1/8 in

Product Description

The ASC ENGINEERED SOLUTIONS 8700128807 is a hexagon bushing made from malleable black iron, designed to reduce a 1/4-inch male threaded pipe connection down to a 1/8-inch female threaded port. Bushings like this are standard fittings used to connect pipes or components of different thread sizes within a piping system. The male thread is sized at 1/4 inch and the female thread at 1/8 inch, making this a common reducing fitting in gas, steam, air, and water service applications. Licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and HVAC technicians install this fitting when joining mismatched thread sizes on pipe assemblies, manifolds, or equipment connections. It conforms to Federal Specification WW-P-471-B, ANSI B-16.14 for dimensions, and ANSI B-2.1 for pipe threads.

This bushing is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing, HVAC gas piping, compressed air lines, and general industrial pipe assemblies where a threaded reduction between 1/4-inch and 1/8-inch NPT connections is required. It is sold individually and is a direct-use fitting requiring no special tooling beyond standard pipe wrenches and thread sealant. Plumbers and pipefitters routinely use hex bushings like this when adapting gauges, sensors, valves, or other small-port equipment to standard pipe runs.

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard-service fitting for threaded black iron pipe assemblies requiring a 1/4-inch male to 1/8-inch female NPT reduction in gas, air, steam, or water service piping.

Installation Notes

This fitting is installed by licensed plumbers or pipefitters using standard pipe wrenches. Before installation, shut off and depressurize the line being worked on. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or tape compatible with the service medium before engaging threads. Follow applicable local plumbing codes and IFGC requirements when used in gas piping applications.
