Asc 8700129854 Hex Black Iron Bushing 2x1 in

Product Description

The ASC ENGINEERED SOLUTIONS 8700129854 is a malleable black iron hex bushing designed to reduce a 2-inch male threaded pipe connection down to a 1-inch female threaded opening. This type of reducing bushing is a standard fitting used to join pipes or threaded components of different sizes within gas, water, and general industrial piping systems. The hex profile allows a wrench to grip the fitting securely during installation. It is sold individually and is appropriate for use by licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and mechanical contractors working on ferrous pipe assemblies.

This bushing is suited for residential and commercial applications where a threaded pipe size reduction is required in-line. Common install scenarios include gas distribution headers, water supply branch lines, and mechanical room piping where pipe diameter steps down between system components. The fitting is manufactured from malleable black iron, which provides the ductility and thread integrity required for pressure-bearing ferrous piping systems.

Key Features

• Malleable black iron construction for strength and thread integrity in ferrous piping systems
• 2-inch male NPT inlet reduces to 1-inch female NPT outlet
• Hex body profile for secure wrench engagement during installation and removal
• Compliant with Fed. 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
• Sold individually (each)

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard-stock fitting for malleable iron threaded piping systems using 2-inch male and 1-inch female NPT connections.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter following applicable IPC or IFGC requirements depending on the service fluid. Shut off and depressurize the affected piping system before installing or removing any threaded fittings. Apply an approved thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male threads before assembly. Do not overtighten; use a pipe wrench on the hex profile and follow standard hand-tight-plus-turns procedure for NPT connections.
