Asc Engineered Solutions 8700130605 Hex Galvanized Bushing

Product Description

The ASC ENGINEERED SOLUTIONS 8700130605 is a hex galvanized bushing made from malleable iron, designed to reduce a 3/4-inch male-threaded pipe connection down to a 1/4-inch female-threaded opening. The galvanized finish provides corrosion resistance for use in wet or exposed environments. The hex profile allows for wrench engagement during installation. This fitting is used by licensed plumbers and pipefitters working on ferrous pipe systems in commercial and residential applications.

This bushing is suited for use in ferrous pipe assemblies where a threaded size reduction is needed. The 3/4-inch male thread connects into the larger female fitting, while the 1/4-inch female port accepts the smaller pipe or fitting on the other side. Typical applications include water supply lines, low-pressure steam systems, and general industrial piping where galvanized iron fittings are specified. It meets Federal Specification WW-P-471-B, ANSI B-16.14 for dimensions, and ANSI B-2.1 for pipe threads.

Key Features

• Malleable iron construction with galvanized finish for corrosion resistance
• 3/4-inch male NPT x 1/4-inch female NPT threaded configuration
• Hex outer profile for secure wrench grip during installation
• Meets Federal Spec WW-P-471-B and ANSI B-16.14 dimensional standards
• Conforms to ANSI B-2.1 pipe thread specification

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard component for ferrous threaded pipe systems using 3/4-inch to 1/4-inch NPT reducing connections.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed plumbers or pipefitters in accordance with applicable IPC or local plumbing codes. Shut off water supply or depressurize the system before beginning work. Apply thread sealant tape or pipe dope to the male threads before assembly. Use a wrench on the hex profile to tighten to a proper engagement — do not overtighten malleable iron fittings, as the material can crack under excess torque.
