Asc Engineered Solutions 8700129805 Black Iron Bushing

Product Description

The ASC Engineered Solutions 8700129805 is a hexagon malleable black iron pipe bushing designed to reduce a 2-inch male threaded connection down to a 3/4-inch female threaded connection. This fitting is used to transition between two different pipe sizes within a threaded iron piping system. The hex body allows for standard wrench engagement during installation. Weighing 0.69 pounds, it is built from malleable black iron, which provides strength and resistance to mechanical stress in low-pressure piping applications. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this type of fitting in gas, steam, and water distribution systems.

This bushing is suited for residential and commercial piping installations where a threaded size reduction is required inline. Common applications include gas supply lines, steam heating systems, and black iron water distribution headers. The fitting threads follow ANSI B-2.1 pipe thread standards, making it compatible with standard NPT threaded pipe and fittings throughout the system. It is sold as an individual piece with a minimum order quantity of one.

Key Features

• Malleable black iron construction for strength in threaded piping systems
• 2-inch male thread by 3/4-inch female thread size reduction configuration
• Hex body design for secure wrench engagement during make-up
• Complies with Federal Spec WW-P-471-B and ANSI B-16.14 dimensional standards
• Pipe threads conform to ANSI B-2.1 for standard NPT compatibility

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for standard NPT threaded malleable black iron piping systems in residential and commercial applications.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter following applicable local plumbing and gas codes, including IPC and IFGC requirements where applicable. Shut off all gas or fluid supply and depressurize the line before disassembling or making up threaded connections. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape rated for the intended service before threading the bushing into the fitting. Hand-tighten first, then use a pipe wrench on the hex body to achieve a proper threaded make-up without over-stressing the fitting.
