Asc Engineered Solutions 319907846 Galvanized Hex Bushing

Product Description

The ASC Engineered Solutions 319907846 is a galvanized iron hex bushing used to reduce pipe thread sizes in threaded piping systems. It connects a larger female-threaded pipe to a smaller male-threaded pipe, allowing trades to adapt existing runs without replacing full fittings or pipe segments. The bushing measures 2 inches by 1/2 inch and weighs 0.64 pounds. Its galvanized iron construction provides corrosion resistance suited for water supply, gas distribution, and general mechanical piping applications. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this fitting in both residential and light commercial systems where a threaded pipe size reduction is required at a junction point.

This hex bushing is used in threaded iron pipe systems where a 2-inch female-threaded connection must be reduced to a 1/2-inch male-threaded outlet. Typical applications include water distribution lines, compressed air systems, gas piping, and industrial process lines. The hex body allows standard pipe wrenches or adjustable wrenches to seat the fitting securely without slippage. It is domestically manufactured, making it a common choice on projects requiring domestic-origin hardware documentation.

Key Features

• Reduces 2-inch female thread to 1/2-inch male thread in a single fitting
• Galvanized coating provides corrosion resistance for wet and humid environments
• Iron construction rated for standard threaded pipe service
• Hex body design allows full wrench engagement for proper torque and sealing
• Domestically manufactured

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-install fitting for standard NPT threaded iron pipe systems requiring a 2-inch to 1/2-inch reduction.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable IPC or IFGC requirements for the intended service. Shut off and depressurize the pipe system before removing or installing any threaded fittings. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male threads before assembly. Use a pipe wrench on the hex body to tighten; avoid over-tightening, which can crack iron fittings.
