Asc Engineered Solutions 8700129409 Black Iron Bushing

Product Description

The ASC Engineered Solutions 8700129409 is a hexagon malleable black iron bushing used to reduce pipe thread connections in low-pressure plumbing, gas, and general piping systems. It features a 1-1/4 inch male thread on the larger end and a 1/2 inch female thread on the smaller end, making it a standard reducing bushing for joining pipe runs where a size transition is required. Weighing 0.34 pounds, this bushing is sold individually and meets federal and ANSI dimensional standards for consistency with other threaded iron fittings.

This bushing is suited for residential and light commercial applications including gas distribution piping, steam, air, and water systems where malleable iron fittings are specified. It is a common component in mechanical rooms, utility spaces, and piping rough-ins where reducing from a 1-1/4 inch line to a 1/2 inch branch or outlet is needed. Plumbers, pipefitters, and HVAC technicians install this fitting as part of threaded iron pipe assemblies.

Key Features

• 1-1/4 inch male thread inlet to 1/2 inch female thread outlet — standard reducing configuration
• Malleable black iron construction for durability in threaded pipe systems
• Hexagon body allows wrench engagement for proper torque during installation
• Meets Fed. Spec. WW-P-471-B for ferrous pipe fittings
• Dimensions conform to ANSI B-16.14 and pipe threads to ANSI B-2.1
• Sold individually (each)

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation component compatible with standard NPT threaded black iron pipe systems where a reducing bushing is required between 1-1/4 inch and 1/2 inch pipe sizes.

Installation Notes

This fitting is installed by licensed plumbers or pipefitters working on threaded iron pipe systems. Shut off and depressurize the line before making any threaded connections. Apply an approved pipe thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male threads before assembly. Follow applicable code requirements including IPC and IFGC for pipe fitting installation in gas or water distribution systems.
