Asc Engineered Solutions 361333503 Threaded Hex Bushing 2x1.5in

Product Description

The ASC ENGINEERED SOLUTIONS 361333503 is a forged steel threaded hex bushing designed to reduce pipe connections from a 2-inch female thread to a 1-1/2-inch male thread. Rated at 3000 lb pressure class, this fitting handles demanding high-pressure piping applications where a reliable, metal-to-metal threaded transition is required. The hex profile allows standard wrench engagement for secure installation and removal. At 0.77 pounds, it is a compact, solid-construction fitting suited for industrial and commercial piping systems. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters are the typical installers for this class of threaded fitting.

This hex bushing is used in high-pressure threaded piping systems where a reduction from 2-inch to 1-1/2-inch pipe sizing is needed. Common applications include steam, hydraulic, and process piping in commercial and industrial environments. The 3000 lb pressure class makes it appropriate for services that exceed standard 150 lb or 300 lb rated fittings. It is installed inline at any point in the piping system where a pipe size reduction is required at a threaded connection.

Installation Notes

Installation of this fitting is typically performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter. Isolate and depressurize the piping system completely before removing or installing any threaded fittings. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male threads before assembly. Tighten using a pipe wrench on the hex flats and follow applicable code requirements such as ASME B16.11 and IFGC standards for your jurisdiction.
