Asc Engineered Solutions 319908844 Galvanized Hex Bushing 4x2.5 in

Product Description

The ASC ENGINEERED SOLUTIONS 319908844 is a threaded galvanized hex bushing designed to reduce a 4-inch female pipe thread to a 2-1/2-inch male pipe thread. The fitting is constructed from iron with a galvanized coating for corrosion resistance in standard plumbing and piping installations. At 3.33 pounds, it is a substantial fitting suited for industrial and commercial plumbing systems. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this type of reducer bushing when connecting a smaller-diameter pipe or fitting into a larger threaded female opening, making it a common component in water distribution, gas, and general mechanical piping systems.

This hex bushing is appropriate for residential and commercial threaded pipe systems where a 4-inch to 2-1/2-inch reduction is required. The hex body profile allows a pipe wrench or adjustable wrench to seat properly for torque during installation. Typical applications include branch connections, equipment drops, and pipe header assemblies where reducing the line size is part of the designed piping layout. Domestically produced, this fitting meets standard requirements for threaded iron pipe fittings in mechanical and plumbing applications.

Key Features

• 4-inch female thread to 2-1/2-inch male thread reduction in a single fitting
• Galvanized iron construction provides corrosion resistance for standard piping environments
• Hex body design allows secure wrench engagement during installation
• Domestically manufactured fitting
• Weighs 3.33 pounds — heavy-duty iron construction suitable for industrial and commercial use

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for standard NPT threaded iron pipe systems requiring a 4-inch to 2-1/2-inch reduction.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter following applicable IPC or local mechanical code requirements. Shut off the water supply or depressurize the gas or fluid line completely before threading the bushing into place. Apply thread sealant tape or pipe dope to the male threads before assembly and tighten using a pipe wrench on the hex body. Do not over-tighten iron threaded fittings, as cracking the fitting body can result.
