Asc Engineered Solutions 318908845 Cast Iron Hex Bushing

Product Description

The ASC ENGINEERED SOLUTIONS 318908845 is a black cast iron hex bushing designed to reduce pipe diameter in threaded piping systems. Measuring 4 inches by 2.5 inches, this domestically produced fitting provides a reliable, durable connection point where a larger pipe must transition to a smaller pipe run. The hex body design allows standard wrench engagement for proper installation torque. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters rely on this type of fitting in drain, waste, and vent systems as well as in industrial and commercial piping applications that call for cast iron construction.

This hex bushing is suited for use in residential and commercial plumbing systems where threaded cast iron fittings are specified. Common installation scenarios include main drain lines, building drain assemblies, and mechanical room piping where the extra mass and durability of cast iron is preferred over malleable iron or plastic alternatives. The black coating provides corrosion resistance appropriate for typical piping environments.

Key Features

• Reduces from 4-inch to 2.5-inch threaded connections in a single fitting
• Cast iron construction for durability and long service life in demanding piping environments
• Hex body profile allows secure wrench engagement during installation
• Black coating finish for added corrosion resistance
• Domestically produced fitting
• Weighs 3.29 pounds for a solid, substantial build quality

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style threaded hex bushing for use in standard cast iron threaded piping systems requiring a 4-inch to 2.5-inch diameter reduction.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter following applicable IPC or local plumbing code requirements. Shut off the water supply and depressurize the line before beginning work. Use an appropriately sized pipe wrench on the hex body to achieve a secure, leak-free threaded connection. Apply thread sealant or PTFE tape to male threads per standard practice before assembly.
