Asc Engineered Solutions 818906687 Malleable Iron Bushing

Product Description

The ASC ENGINEERED SOLUTIONS 818906687 is a black malleable iron threaded bushing used to reduce a 1-inch female threaded opening to a 1/2-inch male threaded connection. Malleable iron construction provides the toughness needed for threaded pipe assemblies in gas, air, and liquid distribution systems. The black coating offers basic corrosion resistance for dry and low-moisture environments. This fitting is installed by licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and HVAC technicians working on low-pressure threaded pipe systems.

This bushing is suited for residential and light commercial applications where a reducer fitting is needed in a threaded black iron pipe assembly. Typical install scenarios include gas piping distribution manifolds, compressed air lines, and mechanical room pipe runs where NPT fittings are standard. The 1-inch by 1/2-inch size handles common branch or outlet reductions in these systems.

Key Features

• Malleable iron construction withstands mechanical stress in threaded assemblies
• Black coating suitable for gas and air service in dry environments
• 1-inch x 1/2-inch size covers common pipe reduction requirements
• NPT-compatible threaded design for standard pipe system assembly
• Compact bushing form fits inside the female fitting without adding significant run length

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for standard NPT threaded black iron pipe systems.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable local codes and IFGC or IPC requirements. Shut off and depressurize the pipe system completely before disassembly or installation. Apply thread sealant or PTFE tape rated for the intended service to all threaded connections. Do not over-tighten; use a pipe wrench and back-wrench to avoid stressing adjacent fittings.
