Asc Engineered Solutions 1XE.BB Hex Head Pipe Bushing

Product Description

The ASC Engineered Solutions 1XE.BB is a hex head pipe bushing designed to reduce a 1-inch female threaded port down to a 3/4-inch male threaded connection. Rated at 150 lb, this fitting is manufactured from malleable iron with a black finish, making it well suited for use in low-pressure gas, steam, and water piping systems. The hex head profile allows a wrench to seat securely during installation, reducing the chance of fitting damage. Plumbers, pipefitters, and gas-line technicians routinely use this type of bushing when adapting between adjacent pipe sizes within a threaded piping assembly.

This bushing is sized at 1 inch by 3/4 inch nominal and uses a threaded end style on both the male and female connections. It is a common component in residential and light commercial plumbing and gas distribution systems where a standard 150 lb malleable iron fitting is specified. The domestic manufacture designation indicates it meets sourcing requirements for projects that require U.S.-made fittings.

Key Features

• Hex head profile provides a secure wrench flat for installation and removal
• 150 lb pressure rating suitable for low-pressure steam, water, and gas service
• Malleable iron construction offers durability and resistance to mechanical stress
• Black finish appropriate for gas piping and non-potable water applications
• Threaded end style on both male and female connections for standard NPT compatibility
• Domestic manufacture for projects with U.S.-origin material requirements

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for standard 150 lb malleable iron threaded piping systems using 1-inch to 3/4-inch nominal pipe size reductions.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable local codes and the International Fuel Gas Code (IFGC) or International Plumbing Code (IPC) as required by the application. Shut off the relevant gas or water supply and depressurize the line before beginning work. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male threads before making up the joint. Do not use this fitting beyond its rated working pressure.
