Asc Engineered Solutions 8700130902 Hex Galvanized Bushing

Product Description

The ASC ENGINEERED SOLUTIONS 8700130902 is a hex galvanized bushing manufactured from malleable iron for use in threaded pipe systems. This fitting reduces a 1-1/4-inch male-threaded connection down to a 1/2-inch female-threaded port, allowing technicians to transition between pipe sizes within a single fitting. The hot-dip galvanized finish provides corrosion resistance in exposed or moisture-prone environments. At 0.35 pounds, it is a compact, heavy-duty fitting suited to both overhead and inline installations. Plumbers and pipefitters install this type of bushing when adapting supply lines, branch connections, or equipment ports to a smaller pipe size without adding a coupling and nipple combination.

This bushing is appropriate for use in residential and light commercial plumbing, fire protection, and mechanical piping systems where threaded malleable iron fittings are specified. It is typically installed at equipment inlets, pressure gauge ports, boiler trim, and distribution manifold takeoffs. The male thread on the larger end engages a 1-1/4-inch fitting or pipe, while the female thread on the smaller end accepts a 1/2-inch pipe or fitting. It is sold individually and is well suited to service and retrofit work requiring a single replacement fitting.

Key Features

• 1-1/4-inch male thread inlet reduces to 1/2-inch female thread outlet
• Malleable iron construction for strength and thread integrity under torque
• Galvanized finish resists corrosion in wet and outdoor-adjacent applications
• Hex body profile accepts standard pipe wrench or adjustable wrench for installation
• Meets Federal Specification WW-P-471-B for ferrous pipe fittings
• Dimensions per ANSI B16.14 and pipe threads per ANSI B2.1

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for threaded malleable iron pipe systems using 1-1/4-inch to 1/2-inch reducing connections in plumbing and mechanical piping applications.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed plumbers or qualified pipefitters. Shut off the water supply and depressurize the line before removing any existing fitting or installing this bushing. Apply an approved thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male threads before assembly, and tighten using a pipe wrench to achieve a leak-free joint without over-torquing the malleable iron body. Installations must comply with applicable local plumbing codes and ANSI standards referenced on the fitting.
