The 3\/8-inch male thread connects to the larger port, while the 1\/8-inch female thread accepts the smaller pipe or fitting. Manufactured from malleable black iron, this bushing provides reliable strength and durability in low-pressure piping assemblies. It meets Federal Specification WW-P-471-B, ANSI B-16.14 for dimensions, and ANSI B-2.1 for pipe thread standards. Plumbers, pipefitters, and gas service technicians install this type of fitting in both residential and light commercial applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis hex bushing is suited for use in gas distribution piping, steam lines, and water supply systems where a threaded reduction is needed at a junction or equipment port. The hexagonal outer profile allows standard wrench engagement for secure installation. It is sold individually and is appropriate for new construction, retrofit, and repair work wherever a 3\/8-inch to 1\/8-inch NPT reduction is required.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMalleable black iron construction for strength in threaded piping systems\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e3\/8-inch male NPT x 1\/8-inch female NPT configuration\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHexagonal body profile allows wrench engagement during installation\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMeets Federal Spec WW-P-471-B, ANSI B-16.14, and ANSI B-2.1\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSuitable for gas, steam, and water piping applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for threaded black iron pipe systems requiring a 3\/8-inch to 1\/8-inch NPT reduction.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation is performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter following applicable IFGC or IPC code requirements for the service type. Shut off all gas or fluid supply and relieve system pressure before working on any threaded connection. Apply an approved thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male threads before assembly. Tighten using a pipe wrench on the hex body — do not overtighten malleable iron fittings, as the material can crack under excessive torque.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: Malleable Black Iron\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMale Thread Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\/8 inch NPT\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFemale Thread Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/8 inch NPT\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Standard\u003c\/strong\u003e: ANSI B-2.1\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimension Standard\u003c\/strong\u003e: ANSI B-16.14\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFederal Specification\u003c\/strong\u003e: WW-P-471-B\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.05 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSold As\u003c\/strong\u003e: Each\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: ASC ENGINEERED SOLUTIONS\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 8700128856\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"ASC ENGINEERED SOLUTIONS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51343097004338,"sku":"8700128856","price":22.08,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/310547306.jpg?v=1782016475","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/asc-engineered-solutions-8700128856-black-iron-hex-bushing","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
