Asc Engineered Solutions 8700131058 Hex Bushing 1-1/2x1/2 in

Product Description

The ASC ENGINEERED SOLUTIONS 8700131058 is a hex bushing machined from malleable galvanized iron, used to reduce a 1-1/2 inch male threaded pipe connection down to a 1/2 inch female threaded port. The galvanized finish provides corrosion resistance for use in standard pipe assemblies. It meets Federal Specification WW-P-471-B, ANSI B-16.14 for dimensions, and ANSI B-2.1 for pipe threads, making it a code-compliant choice for threaded iron pipe systems. Plumbers and pipefitters install this fitting when connecting two different pipe sizes within the same threaded iron system.

This hex bushing is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing, gas distribution, and general pipe assemblies where a threaded reduction between two nominal iron pipe sizes is required. The hexagonal profile allows a wrench to seat the fitting cleanly during assembly. It is sold individually and is appropriate for use in systems where malleable iron fittings are specified.

Key Features

• 1-1/2 inch male NPT thread reduces to 1/2 inch female NPT thread
• Malleable galvanized iron construction for corrosion resistance
• Hex profile accommodates standard pipe wrenches and open-end wrenches
• Compliant with Federal Spec WW-P-471-B, ANSI B-16.14, and ANSI B-2.1
• Sold as individual unit with a minimum order quantity of 1

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style threaded reduction fitting for standard malleable iron pipe systems using NPT threads in plumbing, gas, and general piping applications.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed plumbers or pipefitters following applicable IPC or IFGC requirements for the service type. Shut off the water supply or gas supply and depressurize the line before beginning work. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male threads before assembly. Do not over-tighten, as malleable iron fittings can crack under excessive torque.
