Asc Engineered Solutions 318907045 Black Hex Bushing

Product Description

The ASC Engineered Solutions 318907045 is a black hex bushing designed to reduce pipe thread sizes in pressurized piping systems. It features a 1-1/4 inch male end and a 3/4 inch female end, allowing connection between two different pipe diameters without additional fittings. The hex body provides a flat wrench surface for secure installation and removal. This domestically produced fitting is commonly used by licensed plumbers and pipefitters working on gas, water, or general mechanical piping installations.

This hex bushing is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing and mechanical systems where a threaded pipe reduction is needed in-line. It is installed wherever a larger-diameter pipe or fitting must step down to a smaller threaded connection, including branch takeoffs, valve inlets, and equipment connections. Its black coating makes it appropriate for gas piping applications in accordance with applicable codes.

• 1-1/4 inch male to 3/4 inch female threaded reduction

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter. Shut off and depressurize the affected piping system before beginning work.
