It transitions a 1\/2-inch female NPT connection down to a 1\/8-inch male NPT connection, allowing technicians to adapt pipe runs, branch lines, or instrument taps where a size reduction is required. The hex body provides a flat wrench surface for secure installation without pipe-wrench marring. Weighing 0.11 pounds, this compact fitting is a standard item in gas, water, and compressed-air piping assemblies across residential and commercial applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis hex bushing is used wherever a threaded pipe size reduction is needed inline. Common applications include gas supply lines, compressed-air distribution, hydronic heating systems, and steam piping. HVAC technicians, plumbers, and pipefitters install this type of fitting when connecting smaller-diameter instruments, gauges, or branch piping into a larger main line. It is suited for both new construction and retrofit piping work.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBlack steel construction for durability in gas and piping service environments\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThreaded hex body style allows standard wrench engagement during installation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1\/2-inch female NPT inlet to 1\/8-inch male NPT outlet for inline size reduction\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompact and lightweight at 0.11 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompatible with standard NPT threaded pipe systems\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement or standard fitting for threaded NPT piping systems requiring a 1\/2-inch to 1\/8-inch reduction in residential and commercial gas, water, or compressed-air applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eInstallation is performed by licensed plumbers, pipefitters, or HVAC technicians following applicable code requirements such as the IFGC or IPC. Shut off and depressurize the piping system before installing or replacing any threaded fitting. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to male threads before assembly. Do not overtighten; use a calibrated torque approach with a proper fitting wrench to avoid thread damage.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFitting Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Black Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFitting Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/2 inches x 1\/8 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eType\u003c\/strong\u003e: Threaded Hex\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eItem Weight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.11 pounds\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: 318905569\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"ASC ENGINEERED SOLUTIONS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51233703428402,"sku":"0318905569","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/307630675.jpg?v=1780107149","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/asc-engineered-solutions-318905569-hex-bushing-1-2x1-8","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
