Asc Engineered Solutions 818908246 Malleable Bushing 3x2.5in

Product Description

The ASC Engineered Solutions 818908246 is a black malleable iron pipe bushing designed to reduce a 3-inch female fitting down to a 2.5-inch male thread. Malleable iron construction provides the ductility and impact resistance required in demanding piping systems, including gas distribution, steam, and industrial fluid service. The black coating provides corrosion resistance for dry and moderate-environment applications. This bushing is a standard hex or face bushing configuration used by plumbers, pipefitters, and mechanical contractors during new installation or retrofit work wherever a threaded pipe size reduction is required.

This bushing is suited for use in residential and commercial piping systems where a threaded reduction from 3 inches to 2.5 inches is needed. Typical applications include natural gas lines, compressed air systems, and steam piping. It is installed in-line wherever the pipe schedule calls for a reduction between these two common NPT sizes. Mechanical contractors and journeyman pipefitters routinely use this fitting during rough-in and tie-in work.

Key Features

• Malleable iron construction for ductility and resistance to mechanical stress
• Black coating suited for gas, steam, and industrial service environments
• Threaded reduction from 3 inches female to 2.5 inches male
• Standard NPT thread form for broad compatibility with threaded pipe systems
• Weighs 1.83 pounds for a solid, full-material fitting

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard-use threaded bushing fitting for 3-inch to 2.5-inch NPT threaded pipe systems in plumbing, gas, and mechanical piping applications.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable local mechanical and plumbing codes, including IPC and IFGC requirements where gas service is involved. Shut off and depressurize the piping system fully before removing or installing any threaded fitting. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape rated for the intended service medium. Do not over-torque the fitting, as malleable iron threads can crack under excessive force.
