Cast iron construction with a black coating makes this bushing suitable for drain, waste, and vent (DWV) systems as well as other low-pressure piping applications where durability and corrosion resistance are priorities. The hex profile allows for standard wrench engagement during installation. At 5.02 pounds, this is a heavy-duty fitting intended for professional plumbing and mechanical system work.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis hex bushing is used in residential and commercial plumbing systems where a pipe size reduction is required at a threaded joint. Typical applications include connecting a larger-diameter threaded pipe or fitting to a smaller-diameter run. Plumbers and pipefitters install this type of fitting in above-ground drain lines, mechanical room piping, and industrial pipe assemblies where cast iron is the specified material.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e5-inch female to 3-inch male threaded reduction\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCast iron construction for durability in demanding piping systems\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBlack coating finish for corrosion protection\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHex profile accepts standard pipe wrenches and spud wrenches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDomestically produced fitting\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 cast iron piping systems requiring a 5-inch to 3-inch bushing reduction.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eInstallation should be performed by a licensed plumber or qualified pipefitter in accordance with applicable local plumbing codes and IPC guidelines. Shut off and depressurize the piping system before removing or installing any threaded fittings. Use a pipe wrench on the hex profile and apply appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to all threaded connections. Do not overtighten cast iron fittings, as the material is rigid and not tolerant of stress cracking from excessive torque.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFitting Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 5 inches x 3 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFitting Material\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\u003eItem Weight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 5.02 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCountry of Origin\u003c\/strong\u003e: Domestic\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\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: 318909124\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"ASC ENGINEERED SOLUTIONS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51233516192050,"sku":"0318909124","price":79.13,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/307630676.jpg?v=1780101959","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/asc-engineered-solutions-318909124-cast-iron-hex-bushing-5x3","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
