Asc Engineered Solutions 818908410 Malleable Bushing 3x1 in

Product Description

The ASC Engineered Solutions 818908410 is a black malleable iron hex bushing designed to reduce pipe connections from a 3-inch female thread to a 1-inch male thread. Malleable iron construction provides the ductility and impact resistance needed in pressurized piping systems, making it suitable for use in gas distribution, compressed air, and industrial pipe assemblies. The black coating offers basic corrosion resistance for dry or indoor service environments. Licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and mechanical contractors install this fitting as part of threaded pipe systems where a reduction in pipe diameter is required.

This bushing is used in residential and commercial piping applications where a threaded 3-inch pipe or fitting must transition to a 1-inch threaded connection. Typical install scenarios include gas piping manifolds, compressed air headers, and black iron pipe distribution systems. The hex profile allows for standard pipe wrench or hex wrench engagement during installation, ensuring a secure, leak-free joint when assembled with compatible NPT-threaded pipe and fittings.

Key Features

• 3-inch female NPT to 1-inch male NPT hex bushing configuration
• Malleable iron construction for impact resistance and thread integrity under pressure
• Black coating suitable for gas, air, and industrial piping service
• Hex profile allows positive wrench engagement during assembly
• Import-sourced fitting at standard malleable iron specifications

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for standard NPT-threaded black iron pipe systems in gas, air, and general industrial piping applications.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable local codes, including IFGC requirements for gas piping systems. Shut off and depressurize the line before disassembling or installing any threaded fitting. Apply an approved thread sealant or PTFE tape to male threads before assembly; do not over-torque, as malleable iron threads can crack under excessive force. Pressure-test the system after installation per applicable code requirements before returning to service.
