This fitting measures 3 inches by 1-1\/2 inches and features a hex body for secure wrench engagement during installation. The black coating provides corrosion resistance suitable for standard iron pipe applications. This bushing is installed by licensed plumbers and pipefitters in commercial and residential piping systems where a male-to-female threaded reduction is required at a single fitting point.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis hex bushing is used in threaded black iron pipe systems for gas distribution, industrial process piping, and fire suppression supply lines. The 3-inch male thread reduces to a 1-1\/2-inch female thread, making it a common reduction fitting in branch line transitions. It is domestically manufactured and suited for applications where a compact, one-piece threaded reducer is preferred over a nipple-and-coupling combination.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCast iron hex body allows full wrench contact for proper thread engagement torque\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBlack coating finish suitable for standard black iron pipe systems\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e3-inch male NPT to 1-1\/2-inch female NPT reduction in a single fitting\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDomestically manufactured\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeighs 1.63 pounds per unit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for threaded black iron pipe systems using standard NPT connections.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eInstallation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable IPC or IFGC code requirements.
