Asc Engineered Solutions 818908287 Malleable Bushing 3x2 in

Product Description

The ASC Engineered Solutions 818908287 is a black malleable iron pipe bushing designed to reduce a 3-inch female fitting down to a 2-inch male connection. Malleable iron bushings serve as standard reducing fittings in threaded pipe assemblies, allowing installers to transition between two pipe sizes within the same run. This bushing carries a black coating finish and weighs 2.1 pounds. It is a commonly specified component in gas piping, industrial plumbing, and mechanical systems where threaded black iron pipe is used. Licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and mechanical contractors install this type of fitting as part of larger pipe assemblies.

This bushing is suited for use in residential and commercial applications that call for threaded black malleable iron fittings. Typical install scenarios include gas distribution lines, compressed air systems, fire suppression headers, and general-purpose plumbing where a 3-inch-to-2-inch reduction is required in a threaded configuration. The black coating is standard for gas service piping applications.

Key Features

• Reduces 3-inch female thread to 2-inch male thread in a single fitting
• Black coating finish standard for gas and industrial piping service
• Malleable iron construction provides strength and thread integrity under torque
• Threaded design compatible with standard NPT pipe assemblies
• Weighs 2.1 pounds for a fitting of this size class

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for threaded black malleable iron pipe systems using 3-inch by 2-inch reducing connections.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable mechanical and plumbing codes, including IFGC and IPC requirements for threaded pipe assemblies. Shut off gas or fluid supply and depressurize the line completely before removing or installing any threaded fitting. Apply appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape rated for the service type before making up the joint. Do not over-torque malleable iron fittings, as the material can crack under excessive force.
