Asc Engineered Solutions 8700130506 Hex Galvanized Bushing

Product Description

The ASC ENGINEERED SOLUTIONS 8700130506 is a hex galvanized bushing made from malleable iron, used to reduce a larger female-threaded pipe opening to a smaller male-threaded connection. The larger end carries a 1/2 inch male thread and the smaller end carries a 1/4 inch female thread. The hot-dip galvanized finish provides corrosion resistance for use in standard plumbing and piping systems. This fitting weighs 0.09 pounds and is sold as a single unit. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this type of bushing during routine pipe assembly and repair work across residential and light commercial applications.

This bushing is suited for threaded pipe assemblies in water distribution, general plumbing, and low-pressure piping systems. Its malleable iron construction allows it to handle the stress of installation and minor flexing without cracking. The hex profile accepts a standard wrench for straightforward tightening. It is appropriate for use in standard threaded iron pipe systems where a reduction from 1/2 inch to 1/4 inch is required.

Key Features

• Malleable iron construction for durability and resistance to mechanical stress
• Galvanized finish for corrosion resistance in standard piping environments
• 1/2 inch male thread on the larger end, 1/4 inch female thread on the smaller end
• Hex profile allows wrench engagement for secure installation
• Meets Federal Specification WW-P-471-B, ANSI B-16.14 dimensional standards, and ANSI B-2.1 pipe thread standards

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement fitting for standard threaded malleable iron pipe systems requiring a 1/2 inch to 1/4 inch reduction.

Installation Notes

Licensed plumbers install this fitting using a pipe wrench or adjustable wrench on the hex body. Always shut off and depressurize the pipe system before removing or installing any threaded fitting. Apply appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male threads before assembly in accordance with IPC guidelines. Do not overtighten, as malleable iron threads can be damaged by excessive force.
