Asc 8700129250 Black Iron Hex Bushing 1 in X 3/8 in

Product Description

The ASC Engineered Solutions 8700129250 is a malleable black iron hexagon bushing used to reduce a 1-inch female threaded pipe opening to a 3/8-inch male threaded connection. Malleable iron construction provides the durability and thread integrity required for gas, air, and general plumbing piping systems. The hex profile allows a wrench to be applied directly for secure installation without slippage. This fitting is sold individually and is a standard item for plumbing contractors, pipefitters, and HVAC technicians working with threaded black iron piping systems.

This hex bushing is suited for residential and light commercial applications where a threaded reduction is needed in a black iron piping run. Typical install scenarios include gas supply lines, compressed air distribution, and general plumbing piping where a change in pipe diameter is required at a fitting or valve connection. The 1-inch female end threads onto the existing pipe or fitting, and the 3/8-inch male end accepts the downstream component.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter following applicable local codes and IFGC requirements when used in gas service. Shut off and depressurize the piping system completely before removing or installing any threaded fittings. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape rated for the service fluid before assembly. Use a wrench on the hex body to achieve a proper make-up without overtightening.
