Asc Engineered Solutions 1XE.NB Hex Head Pipe Bushing

Product Description

The ASC Engineered Solutions 1XE.NB is a hex head pipe bushing designed to reduce a 1-inch male NPT connection down to a 3/4-inch female NPT connection. Rated at 150 lb, it is constructed from malleable iron with a galvanized finish that resists corrosion in demanding service environments. The hex head profile allows for standard wrench engagement during installation, making makeup straightforward and secure. This bushing is a domestically manufactured fitting commonly installed by plumbers and pipefitters working on gas, water, and general piping systems.

This fitting is suited for residential and light commercial piping applications where a threaded reduction is needed between 1-inch and 3/4-inch pipe. It is commonly used in gas distribution lines, water supply systems, and industrial pipe assemblies where a durable, corrosion-resistant reducing bushing is required. The MNPT x FNPT end configuration allows it to thread directly into a female-threaded fitting or valve while accepting a male-threaded pipe or fitting on the outlet side.

Key Features

• 1-inch MNPT inlet to 3/4-inch FNPT outlet reducing configuration
• 150 lb pressure class malleable iron construction
• Galvanized finish for corrosion resistance in wet or outdoor environments
• Hex head design allows wrench-assisted makeup without slippage
• Domestically manufactured fitting

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation reducing bushing for 1-inch to 3/4-inch threaded pipe systems using standard NPT fittings rated at 150 lb class.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed plumbers or pipefitters following applicable IPC or IFGC requirements depending on the service. Shut off and depressurize the line before disassembling or installing any threaded fittings. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male threads before makeup. Do not over-tighten; use a backup wrench on adjacent fittings to avoid stressing connected pipe.
