Asc Engineered Solutions 8700131157 Hex Galvanized Bushing

Product Description

The ASC Engineered Solutions 8700131157 is a hex galvanized bushing made from malleable iron, designed to reduce a 1-1/2 inch male threaded pipe connection down to a 1 inch female threaded opening. Galvanized malleable iron construction provides corrosion resistance and the flexibility to handle mechanical stress without cracking. This fitting is used by licensed plumbers and pipefitters to transition between pipe sizes in ferrous piping systems. At 0.534 pounds, it is a compact, single-piece fitting that meets federal and ANSI dimensional and thread standards.

This bushing is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing, mechanical piping, and general pipe distribution systems where a threaded size reduction is needed. It is installed inline wherever a larger pipe run steps down to a smaller branch or connection point. The hex body profile allows standard pipe wrenches or hex wrenches to be used during assembly, making installation straightforward in tight spaces.

Key Features

• Malleable iron construction resists cracking under mechanical load and vibration
• Hot-dip galvanized finish for corrosion resistance in exposed or humid environments
• 1-1/2 inch male NPT inlet x 1 inch female NPT outlet for inline size reduction
• Hex body profile accepts standard pipe wrenches for secure installation
• Meets Fed. Spec. WW-P-471-B, ANSI B-16.14 dimensional standard, and ANSI B-2.1 pipe thread standard

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for threaded ferrous pipe systems requiring a 1-1/2 inch to 1 inch reduction in residential and commercial plumbing applications.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter following applicable IPC and local plumbing codes. Shut off and depressurize the pipe system fully before removing or installing any threaded fittings. Apply appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male threads before assembly. Do not overtighten malleable iron fittings, as excessive force can crack the fitting body.
