Asc Engineered Solutions 8700131108 Hex Galvanized Bushing

Product Description

The ASC Engineered Solutions 8700131108 is a hex galvanized bushing designed to reduce a 1-1/2-inch male threaded pipe connection down to a 3/4-inch female threaded outlet. Constructed from malleable galvanized iron, this bushing delivers corrosion resistance suitable for both wet and dry piping systems. The hex profile allows standard wrench engagement for secure installation. It meets Federal Specification WW-P-471-B and conforms to ANSI B-16.14 for dimensions and ANSI B-2.1 for pipe threads. Plumbers and pipefitters use this fitting in commercial and residential applications where a threaded size reduction is required in a galvanized iron pipeline.

This bushing is suited for use in water supply, low-pressure steam, and general industrial piping systems where malleable iron galvanized fittings are specified. The 1-1/2-inch male thread seats into a larger female-threaded fitting, valve, or tee, while the 3/4-inch female port accepts a smaller male-threaded pipe or nipple. Typical installations include branch reductions at manifolds, equipment connections, and riser assemblies where galvanized iron construction is required by specification or local code.

Key Features

• Malleable galvanized iron construction provides corrosion resistance for wet piping systems
• 1-1/2-inch male NPT inlet reduces to 3/4-inch female NPT outlet
• Hex outer profile allows wrench tightening for a secure, leak-free joint
• Conforms to ANSI B-16.14 dimensional standards and ANSI B-2.1 pipe thread standards
• Meets Federal Specification WW-P-471-B for ferrous pipe plugs, bushings, and locknuts
• Sold individually — one fitting per unit

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for galvanized malleable iron threaded piping systems requiring a 1-1/2-inch male to 3/4-inch female NPT reduction.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable local plumbing codes and IFGC or IPC requirements. Shut off and depressurize the piping system completely before removing or installing any threaded fittings. Apply thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male threads before assembly; do not apply sealant inside the female port. Tighten using a pipe wrench on the hex profile — avoid over-tightening, which can crack malleable iron fittings.
