Asc Engineered Solutions 318909249 Cast Iron Hex Bushing

Product Description

The ASC ENGINEERED SOLUTIONS 318909249 is a black cast iron hex bushing designed to reduce pipe connections from a 6-inch female thread to a 5-inch male thread. This fitting provides a durable, threaded transition between two pipe sizes in plumbing, HVAC, and industrial piping systems. Cast iron construction delivers the strength needed for demanding mechanical and fluid-handling applications. The hex profile allows for wrench engagement during installation and removal, making it straightforward to achieve a proper seal. At 5.73 pounds, this is a heavy-duty fitting built for long service life in commercial and industrial environments. It is installed by licensed plumbers and pipefitters.

This hex bushing is suited for use in residential and commercial plumbing systems, industrial piping, and HVAC water or steam distribution lines where a 6-inch to 5-inch pipe size reduction is required. The black coating is standard for non-potable water, gas, and steam service applications. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters typically specify and install fittings of this type in mechanical rooms, utility spaces, and process piping runs.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter following applicable IPC or IFGC code requirements. Shut off all fluid or gas supply and depressurize the line before beginning work. Apply appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male threads prior to assembly.
