Asc Engineered Solutions 8700131454 Hex Galvanized Bushing

Product Description

The ASC ENGINEERED SOLUTIONS 8700131454 is a hex galvanized bushing made from malleable iron, designed to reduce a 2-inch male threaded pipe connection down to a 1-1/2-inch female threaded connection. The hex profile provides secure wrench engagement during installation and removal. The hot-dip galvanized finish delivers corrosion resistance suited for both indoor and outdoor plumbing and piping applications. This bushing meets Federal Specification WW-P-471-B and conforms to ANSI B16.14 dimensional standards and ANSI B2.1 pipe thread standards, making it a code-compliant choice for professional pipe work.

This bushing is used in residential and commercial plumbing, gas distribution, and industrial piping systems where a threaded reduction is needed between two different pipe sizes. It is a standard fitting for plumbers and pipefitters working with Schedule 40 iron or steel pipe systems. The malleable iron construction and galvanized coating make it appropriate for water supply, low-pressure gas, and general-purpose piping where ferrous fittings are specified.

Key Features

• 2-inch male NPT to 1-1/2-inch female NPT reduction
• Malleable iron construction for durability and impact resistance
• Galvanized finish for corrosion protection in wet and outdoor environments
• Hex shoulder design for positive wrench engagement
• Compliant with Federal Spec WW-P-471-B, ANSI B16.14, and ANSI B2.1

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for standard NPT threaded iron and steel pipe systems where a 2-inch to 1-1/2-inch threaded reduction is required.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed plumbers or pipefitters working with threaded iron pipe systems. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male threads before assembly and tighten to the fitting using a pipe wrench on the hex shoulder. Shut off and depressurize the supply line before removing or installing any threaded fitting. Follow all applicable local plumbing codes and IFGC requirements for gas-service installations.
