Asc Engineered Solutions 8700131306 Hex Bushing 2x3/4 in

Product Description

The ASC ENGINEERED SOLUTIONS 8700131306 is a hex galvanized bushing crafted from malleable iron for use in threaded pipe systems. This fitting reduces a 2-inch male thread down to a 3/4-inch female thread, making it a standard reducing bushing for joining pipe sections of different diameters. The galvanized finish provides corrosion resistance in wet or humid environments. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this type of fitting in residential and commercial piping systems. It meets Federal Specification WW-P-471-B and conforms to ANSI B16.14 for dimensions and ANSI B2.1 for pipe threads.

This bushing is suited for low-pressure water, gas, and steam piping applications where a threaded reduction is required. The hex profile allows installation with a standard pipe wrench or hex wrench without slipping. It is commonly used in mechanical rooms, utility piping runs, and general plumbing installations where a 2-inch line must transition to a 3/4-inch branch or connection point.

Key Features

• Malleable iron construction with galvanized finish for corrosion resistance
• 2-inch male thread by 3/4-inch female thread reducing configuration
• Hex outer profile for secure wrench engagement during installation
• Meets Federal Spec WW-P-471-B
• Dimensioned to ANSI B16.14 with ANSI B2.1 pipe thread conformance

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-install fitting for standard threaded malleable iron pipe systems using 2-inch to 3/4-inch reducing connections.

Installation Notes

A licensed plumber or pipefitter should install threaded pipe fittings in accordance with applicable IPC or IFGC requirements. Shut off and depressurize the pipe system before removing or installing any fitting. Apply appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to male threads before assembly. Do not overtighten malleable iron fittings, as the material can crack under excessive torque.
