Asc Engineered Solutions 8700130746 Hex Galvanized Bushing

Product Description

The ASC Engineered Solutions 8700130746 is a hex galvanized bushing designed to reduce a 1-inch male pipe thread to a 1/4-inch female pipe thread. Constructed from malleable galvanized iron, this bushing provides corrosion resistance and the durability needed for long-term use in pressurized piping systems. The hex profile allows for standard wrench engagement during installation and removal. Plumbers and pipefitters rely on this type of fitting for reliable threaded reductions in both new construction and retrofit applications. It meets Federal Specification WW-P-471-B and is dimensioned to ANSI B-16.14, with pipe threads conforming to ANSI B-2.1.

This bushing is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing, HVAC condensate and supply piping, and general industrial pipe systems where a galvanized malleable iron fitting is required. It is sold individually and is compatible with standard NPT threaded pipe and fittings. Typical applications include reducing branches, manifold ports, and equipment connections where pipe size transitions are needed.

Key Features

• Malleable galvanized iron construction for corrosion resistance in wet and humid environments
• Hex body profile allows wrench engagement for proper torque and sealing
• 1-inch male NPT x 1/4-inch female NPT thread configuration
• Meets Federal Specification WW-P-471-B
• Dimensioned to ANSI B-16.14 with ANSI B-2.1 pipe threads

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard fitting for NPT threaded piping systems in plumbing, HVAC, and light industrial applications requiring a 1-inch to 1/4-inch threaded reduction.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable local codes and IPC guidelines. Shut off system pressure and drain the line before installation or removal. Apply appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to male threads before assembly. Do not over-tighten malleable iron fittings, as excessive force can crack the fitting body.
