Asc Engineered Solutions 319908448 Galvanized Hex Bushing

Product Description

The ASC ENGINEERED SOLUTIONS 319908448 is a threaded galvanized hex bushing designed to reduce a 3-inch female pipe thread to a 3/4-inch male pipe thread. Made from iron with a galvanized coating, it resists corrosion in wet and exposed environments. The hex profile allows for easy tightening with a standard pipe wrench or adjustable wrench. This fitting is installed by licensed plumbers and pipefitters in both commercial and residential piping systems where a reduction in pipe diameter is required at a threaded connection.

This bushing is suited for use in water supply, drainage, and general plumbing piping systems where galvanized iron fittings are specified. It is a common component in mechanical rooms, utility piping, and industrial installations where 3-inch lines must transition down to 3/4-inch branch connections. The domestic manufacture designation indicates it meets sourcing requirements for projects with Buy American or domestic-content specifications.

Key Features

• Reduces 3-inch female thread to 3/4-inch male thread in a single fitting
• Galvanized iron construction for corrosion resistance in wet environments
• Hex profile provides positive grip for wrench installation and removal
• Domestically manufactured to support Buy American project requirements
• Threaded connection on both ends for tool-assisted assembly without soldering

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation hex bushing for standard NPT threaded iron pipe systems requiring a 3-inch to 3/4-inch diameter reduction.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter. Shut off the water supply and depressurize the line before threading in or removing the bushing. Apply thread sealant tape or pipe compound to the male threads before assembly and tighten with a pipe wrench to achieve a leak-free joint. Follow applicable local plumbing codes and IPC guidelines for threaded iron pipe connections.
