Asc 8700130456 Hex Galvanized Bushing 1/2 X 1/8 in

Product Description

The ASC ENGINEERED SOLUTIONS 8700130456 is a hex galvanized bushing made from malleable iron, designed to reduce a 1/2-inch male pipe thread to a 1/8-inch female pipe thread. This type of bushing is a standard fitting used to connect pipes or components of different thread sizes within a threaded pipe system. The malleable iron construction with a galvanized finish provides corrosion resistance suited for ferrous piping applications. It meets Federal Specification WW-P-471-B and is dimensioned to ANSI B-16.14 with pipe threads cut to ANSI B-2.1. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this fitting during new construction and retrofit work.

This bushing is used in residential and commercial threaded pipe systems where a size reduction between two different NPT connections is needed. Typical applications include gas piping, water supply, and general plumbing distribution systems where a larger-threaded port must accept a smaller-threaded pipe or fitting. It is sold individually and is well-suited for maintenance, repair, and operations (MRO) inventory.

Key Features

• Malleable iron construction with galvanized finish for corrosion resistance
• 1/2-inch male NPT inlet reduces to 1/8-inch female NPT outlet
• Hex outer profile allows standard wrench engagement for tightening
• Meets Federal Specification WW-P-471-B for ferrous pipe fittings
• Dimensioned to ANSI B-16.14 with threads cut to ANSI B-2.1

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for threaded malleable iron pipe systems using 1/2-inch male NPT and 1/8-inch female NPT connections.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable local codes and the International Plumbing Code (IPC) or International Fuel Gas Code (IFGC) where relevant. Shut off the water or gas supply and relieve system pressure before installing or removing any threaded fitting. Apply a suitable thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male threads before assembly. Do not over-tighten malleable iron fittings, as excessive force can crack the fitting body.
