Asc Engineered Solutions 361336506 Threaded Hex Bushing 4x3 in

Product Description

The ASC ENGINEERED SOLUTIONS 361336506 is a forged steel threaded hex bushing designed to reduce a 4-inch female threaded pipe connection down to a 3-inch male threaded outlet. Rated at 3000 lb pressure, this bushing is built for demanding industrial and commercial piping applications where leak-free, high-pressure performance is required. Its hex body profile allows for secure wrench engagement during installation, ensuring a properly torqued joint. Plumbers, pipefitters, and mechanical contractors working on high-pressure piping systems rely on this class of fitting to make efficient, reliable pipe size transitions without additional coupling hardware.

This bushing is suited for use in industrial process piping, commercial plumbing, steam, oil, and gas distribution systems where a 4-inch to 3-inch threaded reduction is needed at a 3000 lb pressure class fitting point. Its forged steel construction makes it appropriate for elevated temperature and pressure service conditions common in mechanical rooms, boiler rooms, and industrial plant piping. Pipefitters and journeyman plumbers typically specify this fitting where code requires rated steel fittings in lieu of malleable iron.

Key Features

• Forged steel construction for high-strength, high-pressure service
• 3000 lb pressure rating suitable for demanding piping systems
• Reduces 4-inch female threaded connection to 3-inch male threaded outlet
• Hex body profile provides secure wrench flats for proper installation torque
• Threaded ends for direct connection to standard NPT pipe and fittings

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard-stock forged steel threaded hex bushing for 3000 lb class NPT threaded piping systems requiring a 4-inch by 3-inch reduction.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed pipefitter or plumber in accordance with applicable mechanical and plumbing codes. Depressurize and isolate the pipe segment completely before removing any existing fitting or installing this bushing. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male threads before assembly. Do not over-tighten; use a pipe wrench on the hex flats and follow standard industry practice for the pipe size and service conditions.
