Rated at 150 lb, it is constructed from malleable iron with a galvanized finish that resists corrosion in exposed or mildly harsh environments. The hex head design allows a wrench to seat cleanly for consistent torque during installation. Plumbers and pipefitters use this bushing in low-pressure gas, water, and steam distribution lines where a concentric threaded reduction is needed without additional fittings. Domestic manufacture means it meets standard dimensional requirements for NPT threaded fittings.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis bushing is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing and gas piping applications. It is commonly installed in supply lines, distribution headers, and branch takeoffs where pipe sizing transitions from 1-1\/4 inch to 1 inch. The galvanized coating makes it appropriate for interior wet locations and moderate-exposure environments. It is not intended for use in systems requiring higher pressure ratings or specialized materials such as stainless or brass.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHex head profile accepts standard wrench for reliable installation torque\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMNPT x FNPT end style provides a concentric threaded reduction in a single fitting\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e150 lb pressure class rating for low-pressure gas, water, and steam service\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMalleable iron construction offers durability and impact resistance over cast iron\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGalvanized finish provides corrosion resistance for wet and exposed interior environments\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDomestic manufacture to standard NPT dimensional tolerances\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation threaded bushing for 150 lb malleable iron pipe fitting systems using 1-1\/4 inch to 1 inch NPT threaded connections.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eInstallation is performed by licensed plumbers or pipefitters following applicable IPC or IFGC requirements for the service type. Shut off and depressurize the pipe system completely before removing or installing any threaded fittings. Apply an approved thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male threads before assembly. Do not over-tighten; use the hex flats to apply controlled wrench torque and avoid cracking the fitting body.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNominal Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1-1\/4 x 1 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEnd Style\u003c\/strong\u003e: MNPT x FNPT\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePressure Rating\u003c\/strong\u003e: 150 lb\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: Malleable Iron\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish\u003c\/strong\u003e: Galvanized\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHead Style\u003c\/strong\u003e: Hex Head\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOrigin\u003c\/strong\u003e: Domestic\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: ASC ENGINEERED SOLUTIONS\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1BX1.NB\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"ASC ENGINEERED SOLUTIONS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51524788027698,"sku":"GALBUSH1141","price":19.79,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/ae2ba6f05e6c74d0e105bbbe4522590f_b513448a-e21b-4488-8aa7-037b7b2b1127.jpg?v=1785457529","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/asc-engineered-solutions-1bx1-nb-hex-head-pipe-bushing","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
