Asc Engineered Solutions 8700129359 Hex Bushing Black Iron

Product Description

The ASC Engineered Solutions 8700129359 is a malleable black iron hex bushing used to reduce a 1-inch female pipe thread to a 3/4-inch male pipe thread. The male thread is the larger listed size and the female thread is the smaller listed size. This fitting is built to handle standard piping connections in gas, water, and steam distribution systems. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install these bushings when transitioning between pipe sizes within threaded iron piping systems. The malleable iron construction provides the ductility needed to withstand mechanical stress and thermal cycling in service.

This hex bushing is suited for residential and light commercial piping applications, including natural gas distribution, steam systems, and water supply lines. The hex profile allows a wrench to seat firmly during installation, reducing the risk of slippage. It is sold individually and is commonly used alongside black iron nipples, elbows, and couplings in complete threaded piping assemblies.

Key Features

• Malleable black iron construction for strength and ductility in threaded piping systems
• Hex outer profile allows secure wrench engagement during installation
• 1-inch male NPT thread transitions to 3/4-inch female NPT thread
• Meets Federal Specification WW-P-471-B for ferrous pipe fittings
• Dimensionally compliant with ANSI B-16.14 and pipe thread standard ANSI B-2.1
• Sold individually, UOM is each

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard component for threaded black iron piping systems using 1-inch to 3/4-inch NPT connections in gas, steam, or water service.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable local codes and IFGC or IPC requirements. Shut off and depressurize the piping system completely before removing or installing any threaded fitting. Apply an appropriate pipe thread sealant or PTFE tape rated for the intended service medium. Hand-thread the fitting first to avoid cross-threading, then tighten with a pipe wrench to achieve a proper seal without over-stressing the malleable iron body.
