Asc Engineered Solutions 319906848 Galv Iron Hex Bushing 1x1/4 in

Product Description

The ASC Engineered Solutions 319906848 is a galvanized iron hex bushing used to reduce a 1-inch female pipe thread to a 1/4-inch male pipe thread. This fitting is constructed from iron with a galvanized coating for corrosion resistance in wet or exposed environments. It features a standard hex profile that accepts a wrench for secure installation and leak-free tightening. Plumbers and pipefitters install this type of bushing wherever a threaded pipe system requires a size reduction between two NPT connections. At 0.19 pounds, it is a compact, heavy-duty fitting suited for gas, water, and general piping applications.

This hex bushing is used in residential and light commercial plumbing, gas distribution, and mechanical piping systems. It fits into any standard NPT threaded assembly requiring a 1-inch to 1/4-inch reduction. Typical installation scenarios include connecting smaller instrumentation, gauges, or branch lines off a larger main pipe. Its domestically sourced construction makes it a reliable choice for projects requiring domestic material documentation.

Key Features

• 1-inch female NPT to 1/4-inch male NPT reduction
• Galvanized iron construction resists corrosion in wet and outdoor environments
• Hex profile allows wrench engagement for proper torque and sealing
• Domestically manufactured fitting
• Lightweight at 0.19 pounds for easy handling during installation

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for standard NPT threaded pipe systems requiring a 1-inch to 1/4-inch reducing bushing.

Installation Notes

This fitting is installed by licensed plumbers or pipefitters working on threaded pipe assemblies. Shut off and depressurize the pipe system before installation. Apply thread sealant tape or compound to the male threads per applicable IPC or IFGC requirements before tightening. Do not over-tighten, as this can crack or distort threaded connections on smaller fittings.
