Machined from Schedule 40 steel with a hot-dip galvanized finish, this bushing resists corrosion in wet and outdoor environments. The hex profile allows standard pipe wrenches or crescent wrenches to seat and tighten the fitting without slippage. Plumbers and pipefitters install this bushing in threaded pipe assemblies wherever a pipe size reduction is needed at a threaded connection point.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis fitting is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing, gas distribution, fire protection, and mechanical piping systems that call for Schedule 40 threaded fittings. Typical applications include reducing branch outlets on headers, adapting valves or instrumentation ports, and transitioning between pipe runs of differing diameters. Domestic manufacture supports job specifications that require US-made materials.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1-inch female NPT inlet reduces to 3\/8-inch male NPT outlet\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSchedule 40 wall thickness rated for standard working pressures in threaded steel pipe systems\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eGalvanized steel finish provides corrosion resistance in damp or outdoor service conditions\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHex body profile accepts standard pipe wrenches for controlled installation torque\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eDomestically manufactured to support projects with US-origin material requirements\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSold in a package quantity of 25 units per carton\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style threaded fitting for use in Schedule 40 steel pipe systems with standard NPT threaded connections.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation is performed by licensed plumbers or pipefitters following applicable IPC or IFGC requirements for threaded steel pipe assemblies. Shut off and depressurize the pipe system completely before removing or installing any threaded fitting. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male threads before assembly. Do not overtighten; use a backup wrench on adjacent fittings to prevent stress on existing pipe joints.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInlet Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1 inch female NPT\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOutlet Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\/8 inch male NPT\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish\u003c\/strong\u003e: Galvanized\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSchedule\u003c\/strong\u003e: Schedule 40\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 4.5 pounds (per package of 25)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePackage Quantity\u003c\/strong\u003e: 25 each\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOrigin\u003c\/strong\u003e: Domestic\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: 8700130753\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"ASC ENGINEERED SOLUTIONS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51525214404914,"sku":"8700130753","price":335.45,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/c801fa9ce0ccb8a95c81cd7452c11d92.jpg?v=1785467474","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/asc-engineered-solutions-8700130753-galvanized-hex-bushing","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
