Asc Engineered Solutions 8700130555 Hex Galvanized Bushing

Product Description

The ASC Engineered Solutions 8700130555 is a hex galvanized malleable iron pipe bushing designed to reduce a 1/2-inch male NPT thread to a 3/8-inch female NPT thread. This type of fitting is used to transition between two different pipe sizes within a threaded piping system. The malleable iron construction with galvanized finish provides corrosion resistance suitable for ferrous piping assemblies. Plumbers and pipefitters install this bushing as a standard threaded reduction fitting. It meets Federal Specification WW-P-471-B and conforms to ANSI B-16.14 dimensional standards and ANSI B-2.1 pipe thread standards.

This hex bushing is used in residential and commercial plumbing, mechanical, and industrial piping systems where a threaded reduction is required between pipe segments or fittings. The hex profile allows for wrench engagement during installation and removal. It is appropriate for use in ferrous threaded pipe assemblies where a compact, durable reduction fitting is needed.

Key Features

• 1/2-inch male NPT x 3/8-inch female NPT thread configuration
• Malleable iron construction with galvanized finish for corrosion resistance
• Hex body profile allows standard wrench engagement

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard-stock hex bushing for use in threaded ferrous pipe systems requiring a 1/2-inch to 3/8-inch NPT reduction.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed plumbers or pipefitters working on threaded ferrous pipe systems. Shut off and depressurize the affected piping system before installing or removing any threaded fitting. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male threads before assembly. Follow applicable IPC or IFGC code requirements for the specific system type and jurisdiction.
