Asc Engineered Solutions 2X1D.NB Hex Head Pipe Bushing

Product Description

The ASC ENGINEERED SOLUTIONS 2X1D.NB is a galvanized malleable iron hex head pipe bushing designed to reduce a 2-inch male NPT fitting down to a 1.5-inch female NPT connection. Rated at 150 lb, this bushing provides a reliable threaded transition in low-pressure piping systems. The hex head profile allows standard wrench engagement for controlled tightening. Malleable iron construction offers the ductility and strength required for service in gas, water, and steam distribution piping. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this fitting as part of threaded pipe assemblies in both new construction and retrofit applications.

This bushing is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing, gas distribution, and steam piping systems where a threaded reduction from 2 inches to 1.5 inches is required. The galvanized finish provides corrosion resistance for exposed or moderately humid environments. It is a domestically manufactured fitting, appropriate for projects that specify domestic-origin components under federal procurement or general contractor requirements.

Key Features

• Reduces 2-inch MNPT to 1.5-inch FNPT in a single fitting
• 150 lb pressure class rating for low-pressure piping service
• Malleable iron construction for ductility and impact resistance
• Galvanized finish for corrosion resistance in exposed installations

• Domestically manufactured to support Buy American compliance requirements

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard fitting for 150 lb class threaded malleable iron piping systems using NPT connections.

Installation Notes

Licensed plumbers or pipefitters should install this fitting in accordance with applicable IPC or IFGC requirements depending on the service. Shut off the water or gas supply and depressurize the line before threading any fitting. Apply thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male threads before assembly and tighten to hand-tight plus wrench-tight per standard practice. Do not over-torque malleable iron fittings, as the material can crack under excessive force.
