Asc Engineered Solutions 2X1B.NB Hex Head Pipe Bushing

Product Description

The ASC Engineered Solutions 2X1B.NB is a hex head pipe bushing designed to reduce a 2-inch female pipe thread connection down to a 1-1/4-inch male pipe thread. Constructed from cast iron with a galvanized finish, this bushing is rated at 125 lb and features a MNPT x FNPT end style for straightforward threaded installation into standard pipe systems. The hexagonal head allows for wrench engagement, making it easy to achieve a secure, leak-free connection. Plumbers and pipefitters install this type of fitting in water supply, drain, and low-pressure industrial piping systems where a threaded reducer is needed between two different pipe sizes.

This bushing is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing applications where cast iron galvanized fittings are specified. Common install scenarios include water distribution lines, gas piping systems that permit cast iron fittings, and mechanical room connections where reducing bushings are needed to transition between pipe sizes. The domestic manufacture of this part makes it a common choice for projects requiring domestically produced fittings.

Key Features

• Hex head design allows standard pipe wrench or open-end wrench engagement for controlled installation

• 125 lb pressure rating suits standard residential and light commercial piping service
• MNPT x FNPT thread configuration enables direct threaded reducer installation without additional adapters
• Reduces from 2-inch nominal to 1-1/4-inch nominal pipe size
• Domestically manufactured

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting compatible with standard 2-inch MNPT and 1-1/4-inch FNPT threaded pipe systems using 125 lb cast iron fittings.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with applicable IPC or local plumbing code requirements. Shut off and depressurize the pipe system before removing or installing any threaded fittings. Apply an approved thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male threads before assembly. Do not overtighten, as cast iron fittings can crack under excessive torque.
