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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eReduces from 4-inch to 2.5-inch threaded connections in a single fitting\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCast iron construction for durability and long service life in demanding piping environments\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHex body profile allows secure wrench engagement during installation\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBlack coating finish for added corrosion resistance\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eDomestically produced fitting\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eWeighs 3.29 pounds for a solid, substantial build quality\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFitting Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 4 inches x 2.5 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: Cast Iron\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eType\u003c\/strong\u003e: Hex Bushing\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoating\u003c\/strong\u003e: Black\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3.29 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOrigin\u003c\/strong\u003e: Domestic\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\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: 318908845\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"ASC ENGINEERED SOLUTIONS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51233515569458,"sku":"0318908845","price":241.79,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/307627399.jpg?v=1780101941","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/asc-engineered-solutions-318908845-cast-iron-hex-bushing","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
