Asc Engineered Solutions 8700130852 Hex Galvanized Bushing

Product Description

The ASC ENGINEERED SOLUTIONS 8700130852 is a hex galvanized bushing made from malleable iron and used to reduce a 1 inch male NPT connection down to a 3/4 inch female NPT connection. The hex exterior allows for standard wrench engagement during installation. The hot-dip galvanized finish provides corrosion resistance suited to both wet and dry pipe systems. This fitting is manufactured to Federal Specification WW-P-471-B and meets ANSI B-16.14 dimensional standards and ANSI B-2.1 pipe thread specifications. It is sold individually and is a standard trade fitting installed by licensed plumbers and pipefitters in commercial and industrial applications.

This bushing is used in plumbing, fire protection, and general piping systems where a threaded pipe or fitting requires a reduction from 1 inch to 3/4 inch. Typical applications include mechanical rooms, boiler rooms, and industrial process piping. The malleable iron construction makes it appropriate for steam, water, oil, and gas service lines where a durable ferrous fitting is required. The galvanized coating adds service life in environments with moisture exposure.

Key Features

• 1 inch male NPT to 3/4 inch female NPT reduction configuration
• Malleable galvanized iron construction for corrosion resistance and durability

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard-service fitting for threaded malleable iron pipe systems requiring a 1 inch to 3/4 inch NPT reduction.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter. Shut off and depressurize the pipe system completely before removing or installing any threaded fittings.
