Asc Engineered Solutions 318911849 Cast Iron Flush Bushing

Product Description

The ASC Engineered Solutions 318911849 is a black cast iron flush bushing designed to reduce pipe thread sizes within a fitting or threaded opening. At 2 inches by 1/2 inch, this bushing transitions from a larger 2-inch female thread to a smaller 1/2-inch male thread. The flush-style design sits flush with the face of the fitting rather than extending outward, making it well suited for tight installations where clearance is limited. Domestically manufactured and finished with a black coating, it is a standard fitting for plumbing, fire protection, and mechanical piping systems where a durable, corrosion-resistant threaded reducer is required.

This flush bushing is used in residential and commercial plumbing and mechanical piping applications where threaded pipe systems require an in-line size reduction. Typical install scenarios include gas piping, water supply lines, and industrial process lines. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this fitting as part of threaded black iron piping systems. The domestic manufacture and black coating make it a common choice for above-ground gas distribution and similar applications.

Key Features

• Flush design sits even with the face of the fitting, saving space in tight installations
• Black coating provides corrosion resistance suitable for gas and mechanical piping
• 2-inch female to 1/2-inch male thread transition in a single compact fitting
• Domestically manufactured for consistent dimensional tolerances
• Cast iron construction delivers durability in threaded piping assemblies

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation component for standard NPT threaded black iron piping systems requiring a 2-inch to 1/2-inch reduction.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter. Shut off and depressurize the piping system before removing or installing any threaded fittings. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or pipe tape to the male threads per local code requirements and manufacturer guidance. Follow applicable codes such as the IPC or IFGC when installing in gas or water distribution systems.
