The hexagonal body allows for wrench engagement during installation, ensuring consistent thread engagement and a secure, leak-resistant joint. The hot-dip galvanized finish provides corrosion resistance suitable for standard plumbing and piping systems. This fitting is manufactured to Federal Specification WW-P-471-B, with dimensions conforming to ANSI B-16.14 and pipe threads cut to ANSI B-2.1. It is typically installed by licensed plumbers and pipefitters working on low-pressure piping assemblies.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis bushing is used in residential and light commercial piping systems where a threaded reduction is required between two different pipe sizes. Common applications include water supply lines, compressed air distribution, and general-purpose pipe assemblies where a 1\/4-inch male NPT connection must transition to a 1\/8-inch female NPT port. The malleable iron construction makes it appropriate for use in both above-ground and protected indoor installations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eReduces 1\/4-inch male NPT to 1\/8-inch female NPT in a single fitting\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMalleable iron body provides durability and resistance to mechanical stress\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eGalvanized finish resists corrosion in standard indoor piping environments\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHex body profile allows wrench engagement for proper torque application\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eConforms to Federal Spec WW-P-471-B, ANSI B-16.14, and ANSI B-2.1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation bushing for standard NPT threaded malleable iron pipe systems in residential and commercial plumbing and piping applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation is performed by licensed plumbers or pipefitters. Shut off and depressurize the piping system completely before threading this bushing into place. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male threads before assembly. Hand-tighten first, then use a wrench on the hex body to complete the joint — avoid over-tightening malleable iron fittings, which can crack the body.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: Malleable Iron, Galvanized\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMale Thread Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/4 inches NPT\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFemale Thread Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/8 inches NPT\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBody Style\u003c\/strong\u003e: Hex\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.019 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStandards\u003c\/strong\u003e: Federal Spec WW-P-471-B, ANSI B-16.14, ANSI B-2.1\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUPC\u003c\/strong\u003e: 00690291038037\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: ASC ENGINEERED SOLUTIONS\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 8700130308\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"ASC ENGINEERED SOLUTIONS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51345364123954,"sku":"8700130308","price":19.2,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/310547369.jpg?v=1782055886","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/asc-engineered-solutions-8700130308-hex-galvanized-bushing","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
