Asc 8700129508 Black Iron Hex Bushing 1-1/4 X 1 In.

Product Description

The ASC ENGINEERED SOLUTIONS 8700129508 is a malleable black iron hex bushing designed to reduce a 1-1/4 inch male threaded pipe connection to a 1 inch female threaded connection. This hexagonal bushing provides a reliable, wrench-friendly transition between two pipe sizes in low-pressure gas, water, and air piping systems. Manufactured from malleable black iron, it meets Federal Specification WW-P-471-B and is dimensioned to ANSI B-16.14 with threads conforming to ANSI B-2.1. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this fitting during rough-in and service work wherever a threaded size reduction is required.

This bushing is suited for residential and light commercial piping applications including natural gas lines, compressed air distribution, and water supply systems. It is sold individually and fits into standard threaded iron pipe assemblies. The hexagonal outer profile allows installation and removal with a standard pipe wrench or open-end wrench, making it practical for tight spaces and retrofit situations.

Key Features

• Malleable black iron construction for durability in ferrous pipe systems
• 1-1/4 inch male NPT thread reduces to 1 inch female NPT thread
• Hexagonal profile for secure wrench engagement during installation
• Meets Federal Spec WW-P-471-B for ferrous plugs, bushings, and locknuts
• Dimensions per ANSI B-16.14 and pipe threads per ANSI B-2.1

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for standard NPT threaded malleable iron pipe systems used in gas, air, and water distribution.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable local codes and IFGC or IPC requirements. Shut off all gas or water supply and relieve system pressure before removing or installing any threaded fitting. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male threads before assembly. Do not overtighten; use a pipe wrench with controlled force to avoid cracking the fitting or damaging mating threads.
