Asc Engineered Solutions 818907446 Malleable Bushing 1.5x1 in

Product Description

The ASC Engineered Solutions 818907446 is a black malleable iron pipe bushing used to reduce a 1-1/2 inch female threaded opening down to a 1 inch male threaded connection. This type of hex bushing is a standard fitting in threaded black iron piping systems, commonly used in gas distribution, fire suppression, and industrial piping applications. The black finish indicates this fitting is not galvanized and is appropriate for dry or gas service where a zinc coating is not required. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this fitting as part of threaded pipe assemblies.

This bushing fits into 1-1/2 inch female NPT fittings or pipe couplings and accepts a 1 inch male NPT connection on the reduced end. It is used in residential and light commercial gas piping, compressed air lines, and similar threaded black iron systems where a reduction in pipe size is needed at a fitting or valve inlet. The malleable iron construction allows it to withstand the vibration and mechanical stress common in these systems.

Key Features

• Reduces 1-1/2 inch female NPT to 1 inch male NPT in a single fitting
• Malleable iron construction resists impact and vibration in threaded piping systems
• Black finish suited for gas, air, and non-potable water service where galvanizing is not required
• Standard hex bushing profile for wrench engagement during installation
• Lightweight at 0.46 pounds for easy handling and inventory

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement fitting for standard 1-1/2 inch by 1 inch NPT threaded black iron piping systems in residential and commercial applications.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter following applicable codes such as the IFGC or IPC depending on service type. Shut off gas or system pressure and verify the line is depressurized before threading any fitting. Apply an approved thread sealant or PTFE tape rated for the intended service to all male threads before assembly. Use a pipe wrench on the hex profile and avoid over-tightening, which can crack malleable fittings.
