Asc Engineered Solutions 318909447 Cast Iron Hex Bushing

Product Description

The ASC ENGINEERED SOLUTIONS 318909447 is a black cast iron hex bushing designed to reduce pipe fittings from a 6-inch connection down to a 2-inch connection. Hex bushings are threaded fittings used to transition between two different pipe sizes within the same run. This fitting is manufactured domestically from cast iron with a black coating, making it a standard choice for drain, waste, and vent systems as well as low-pressure water and gas piping applications. At 8 pounds, the robust construction is consistent with cast iron's durability requirements in commercial and industrial piping environments. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters are the primary installers.

This hex bushing is suited for use in residential and commercial plumbing systems where a reduction from a large-diameter pipe to a smaller-diameter branch or outlet is required. The 6-inch by 2-inch sizing makes it particularly applicable in main drain or large-bore distribution lines that step down to secondary runs. The black cast iron construction meets the material requirements common in DWV and industrial process piping systems. Its hex profile allows for installation and removal using standard pipe wrenches or hex wrench tools without requiring special fittings.

Key Features

• Reduces 6-inch pipe to 2-inch pipe in a single threaded fitting
• Cast iron construction for durability in demanding plumbing environments
• Black coating provides corrosion resistance and finish consistency
• Hex body profile allows secure wrench engagement during installation
• Domestically manufactured

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for cast iron threaded pipe systems requiring a 6-inch to 2-inch reduction.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with applicable IPC or local plumbing code requirements. Shut off the water supply or isolate the pipe section before beginning work. Apply appropriate thread sealant or pipe tape to male threads before assembly, and use a pipe wrench on the hex body to achieve a proper seal without over-stressing the fitting. Do not exceed the pressure rating appropriate for cast iron threaded fittings in the intended service application.
