Asc Engineered Solutions 8700129201 Hex Bushing 3/4x1/2 in

Product Description

The ASC ENGINEERED SOLUTIONS 8700129201 is a hexagon bushing made from malleable black iron, used to reduce a 3/4-inch female threaded port down to a 1/2-inch male threaded connection. The male thread measures 3/4 inches and the female thread measures 1/2 inches, following ANSI B-2.1 pipe thread standards. Dimensions conform to ANSI B-16.14. This fitting meets Federal Specification WW-P-471-B for ferrous plugs, bushings, and locknuts. Plumbers and pipefitters install this bushing when connecting smaller-diameter pipe or components into a larger-diameter threaded opening on black iron pipe systems.

This bushing is suited for use in residential and commercial black iron pipe installations, including gas distribution, heating systems, and industrial piping where threaded iron fittings are required. It is sold individually and is commonly stocked in quantity for service work, new construction, and retrofit piping projects that require threaded reduction connections.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable local mechanical and plumbing codes, including the IPC and IFGC where gas systems are involved. Shut off the gas or fluid supply and depressurize the system before making any threaded connections. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape rated for the service medium before threading the bushing into the fitting. Do not overtighten; use a pipe wrench on the hex head and follow standard practice for malleable iron fittings.
