Asc Engineered Solutions 318907763 Black Hex Bushing

Product Description

The ASC Engineered Solutions 318907763 is a black hex bushing used to reduce pipe thread sizes in plumbing and piping systems. It connects a larger female threaded pipe to a smaller male threaded pipe, allowing trades to adapt between two different pipe diameters in a single fitting. The fitting measures 2 inches by 1 inch and features a black coating finish. The hex body design provides a flat wrench surface for secure tightening during installation. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this type of bushing in both residential and light commercial piping systems.

This hex bushing is suited for use in black iron pipe systems commonly found in gas distribution, compressed air lines, and industrial fluid piping. The 2-inch-by-1-inch size handles a common reduction pairing found in supply and branch line configurations. Its domestically produced construction makes it a reliable choice for jobs requiring consistent dimensional tolerances and thread quality.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable codes such as the IPC or IFGC depending on the fluid or gas being conveyed. Shut off and depressurize the pipe system completely before removing or installing any threaded fittings. Apply appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to male threads before assembly. Use a properly sized pipe wrench on the hex flats to avoid rounding the fitting body.
