Asc Engineered Solutions 8700130100 Black Hex Bushing

Product Description

The ASC Engineered Solutions 8700130100 is a black hex bushing designed to reduce pipe thread sizes in threaded piping systems. This fitting connects a larger female threaded port to a smaller male threaded pipe, enabling transitions between two pipe diameters within the same run. At 3 inches female by 2 inches male, it suits larger-diameter piping configurations common in commercial and industrial plumbing, mechanical, and HVAC applications. The black finish indicates a malleable iron construction rated for Class 150 service. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this fitting during new construction and retrofit work.

This hex bushing is used in threaded black iron pipe systems where a diameter reduction is needed at a fitting, valve, or equipment port. Its hex outer profile allows standard pipe wrench or hex wrench engagement for consistent torque application. Class 150 pressure rating makes it appropriate for low-pressure steam, water, and gas distribution service in both residential and commercial mechanical systems.

Key Features

• 3 inches female NPT to 2 inches male NPT thread reduction
• Class 150 pressure rating suitable for steam, water, and gas service
• Black finish malleable iron construction for threaded black pipe systems
• Hex outer profile provides secure wrench engagement during installation
• Domestic manufacture

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for Class 150 threaded black iron pipe systems requiring a 3 inches to 2 inches diameter reduction.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed plumbers or pipefitters in accordance with applicable IPC and IFGC requirements. Shut off and depressurize the piping system fully before disassembling any threaded connections. Apply appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to male threads before engagement. Do not over-tighten; follow standard hand-tight-plus-turns practice for malleable iron fittings.
