It features a male NPT (MNPT) outer thread and a female NPT (FNPT) inner thread, allowing technicians to transition between two common pipe sizes within a single fitting. Rated for 150 lb service, this bushing is constructed from malleable iron with a galvanized finish for corrosion resistance. It is a domestically produced fitting suited for plumbing, HVAC piping, gas distribution, and general industrial pipe systems where a compact threaded reducer is required.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis hex head bushing is commonly installed in residential and light commercial piping systems. The hex head profile allows a wrench to seat properly for tightening, making it practical in tight or congested pipe runs. Typical applications include gas line assemblies, water supply piping, steam systems rated within the 150 lb pressure class, and hydronic heating piping. Plumbers, pipefitters, and HVAC technicians working with NPT-threaded iron pipe systems will encounter this fitting as a standard reducing component at branch connections, valves, or equipment inlets.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHex head design allows wrench engagement for secure installation in confined spaces\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMNPT x FNPT end style enables direct inline pipe size reduction\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMalleable iron construction provides strength and resistance to mechanical stress\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGalvanized finish resists corrosion in wet or humid service environments\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e150 lb pressure class rating suits standard residential and commercial piping applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDomestically produced to common NPT threading standards\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for 150 lb class malleable iron NPT pipe systems requiring a 1-inch to 1\/2-inch threaded reduction.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eInstallation is performed by licensed plumbers or pipefitters following applicable IPC or IFGC code requirements for the service type. Apply an approved thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male threads before assembly. Shut off and depressurize the pipe system fully before removing or installing any threaded fittings. Do not over-torque malleable iron fittings, as the material can crack under excessive force.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNominal Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1 x 1\/2 inch\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\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: 1XD.NB\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"ASC ENGINEERED SOLUTIONS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51524787667250,"sku":"GALBUSH112","price":17.19,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/ae2ba6f05e6c74d0e105bbbe4522590f_22b5b08d-7101-44c5-9594-4a82aef2dc1f.jpg?v=1785457517","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/asc-engineered-solutions-1xd-nb-hex-head-pipe-bushing","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
