Asc Engineered Solutions 8700130951 Hex Galvanized Bushing

Product Description

The ASC Engineered Solutions 8700130951 is a hex galvanized bushing designed to reduce a 1-1/4-inch male threaded pipe connection down to a 3/4-inch female threaded connection. Constructed from malleable galvanized iron, this bushing provides corrosion resistance and the flexibility to withstand mechanical stress without cracking. It is a standard pipe fitting used in plumbing, gas distribution, and industrial piping systems. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this type of bushing when transitioning between two different pipe sizes within the same threaded line. The hex outer profile allows for secure wrench engagement during installation.

This bushing is suited for residential and commercial piping applications where a threaded size reduction is required in-line. Common install scenarios include gas supply lines, water distribution systems, and general industrial pipe assemblies. The male thread on the larger end threads into an existing female-threaded fitting, valve, or pipe, while the smaller female end accepts a 3/4-inch male-threaded nipple, valve, or fitting downstream.

Key Features

• Malleable galvanized iron construction for corrosion resistance and ductile strength
• 1-1/4-inch male thread on the larger end, 3/4-inch female thread on the smaller end
• Hex profile for positive wrench engagement during makeup
• Meets Federal Specification WW-P-471-B for ferrous pipe fittings
• Dimensionally compliant with ANSI B-16.14 and threaded to ANSI B-2.1 standard

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for threaded malleable iron piping systems requiring a 1-1/4-inch to 3/4-inch reduction in residential and commercial plumbing or gas piping.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with the applicable IPC or IFGC requirements for the jurisdiction. Shut off and depressurize the piping system completely before removing or installing any threaded fittings. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male threads before makeup. Do not over-torque malleable iron fittings, as the material can crack under excessive force.
