Cast from black cast iron and pressure-rated at 125 lb, this bushing is a standard reducing fitting used in low-pressure piping systems for gas, water, and steam applications. The hex head profile allows for wrench engagement during installation. Plumbers and pipefitters install this fitting when transitioning between pipe sizes in threaded iron pipe systems.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis bushing is suited for residential and light commercial piping installations where threaded black iron pipe is the standard material. Common applications include natural gas distribution lines, steam heating systems, and low-pressure water supply piping. It is domestically manufactured, making it a compliant choice on projects with domestic content requirements.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReduces 1-1\/2 inch MNPT to 3\/4 inch FNPT in a single fitting\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHex head design provides secure wrench grip during makeup\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e125 lb pressure class rating suitable for low-pressure gas and water service\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCast iron construction for durability in threaded pipe systems\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBlack finish standard for gas and steam piping applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDomestically manufactured\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement or new-install fitting for standard 1-1\/2 inch x 3\/4 inch threaded black iron pipe systems rated at 125 lb class.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis fitting is installed by licensed plumbers or pipefitters working on threaded iron pipe systems. Always shut off and depressurize the line before making or breaking any threaded connection. Apply approved pipe thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male threads before assembly, and tighten to proper engagement using a pipe wrench on the hex head. Work must comply with applicable local plumbing and mechanical codes, including IFGC requirements when used in gas piping.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNominal Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1-1\/2 x 3\/4 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: 125 lb\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: Cast Iron\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish\u003c\/strong\u003e: Black\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: 1DXE.BB\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"ASC ENGINEERED SOLUTIONS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51524358668594,"sku":"BLBUSH11234","price":16.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/ae2ba6f05e6c74d0e105bbbe4522590f_de54c173-4593-47c7-a328-856ba2c76ddc.jpg?v=1785446902","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/asc-engineered-solutions-1dxe-bb-hex-head-pipe-bushing","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
