Asc Engineered Solutions 8700131355 Hex Galvanized Bushing

Product Description

The ASC Engineered Solutions 8700131355 is a 2-inch by 1-inch hex galvanized bushing made from malleable iron. It serves as a reducing fitting that connects a larger-diameter male-threaded pipe to a smaller-diameter female-threaded port. The outer male thread measures 2 inches and the inner female thread measures 1 inch. The galvanized finish provides corrosion resistance for use in wet or exposed piping environments. Plumbers and pipefitters install this fitting where pipe diameter must be reduced within a threaded iron pipe system. The hex profile allows standard wrench engagement for secure, leak-free makeup.

This bushing is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing, HVAC hydronic piping, gas distribution, and general industrial piping systems that use threaded malleable iron fittings. Typical applications include reducing branch connections at tees, reducing couplings in supply lines, and adapter points where equipment ports are smaller than the supply line. The galvanized coating makes it appropriate for use in damp or corrosive environments where black iron would corrode prematurely.

Key Features

• Malleable iron construction provides strength and resistance to impact in threaded piping systems
• Galvanized finish offers corrosion resistance for wet, damp, or outdoor installations
• Hex body profile allows positive wrench engagement for proper thread makeup
• 2-inch male outer thread to 1-inch female inner thread for in-line diameter reduction
• Meets Fed. Spec. WW-P-471-B, ANSI B-16.14 dimensional standards, and ANSI B-2.1 pipe thread standards

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard fitment for threaded malleable iron pipe systems using NPT connections in plumbing, gas, and hydronic heating applications.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed plumbers or pipefitters following applicable IPC and IFGC requirements for the intended service. Shut off the water or gas supply and relieve system pressure completely before making or breaking any threaded connections. Apply an approved thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male threads before assembly. Do not over-tighten malleable iron fittings, as excessive torque can crack the fitting body.
