Asc Engineered Solutions 8700131702 Galvanized Hex Bushing

Product Description

The ASC Engineered Solutions 8700131702 is a 3-inch by 2-inch galvanized hex bushing rated for 150 lb service. A hex bushing is a threaded pipe fitting used to reduce from a larger female pipe thread to a smaller male pipe thread. The external hex head provides a flat wrench surface for secure installation with a pipe wrench or open-end wrench. This fitting is domestically manufactured with a hot-dip or mill galvanized finish that provides corrosion resistance for use in water, gas, and general industrial piping systems. Plumbers, pipefitters, and mechanical contractors install this type of fitting in new construction and repair work.

This hex bushing is suited for residential and commercial plumbing, HVAC piping, fire protection, and light industrial applications where a 3-inch to 2-inch NPT reduction is required. The 150 lb pressure rating makes it appropriate for standard low-pressure water and air systems. Domestic manufacture supports projects with domestic content requirements.

Key Features

• 3-inch female NPT to 2-inch male NPT reduction in a single fitting
• 150 lb pressure class for standard service applications
• Galvanized finish for corrosion resistance in wet and outdoor environments
• Hex head design allows wrench engagement without a strap wrench
• Domestically manufactured

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 150 lb galvanized hex bushing for use in NPT-threaded iron and steel pipe systems where a 3-inch to 2-inch reduction is required.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed plumbers or pipefitters following applicable IPC and IFGC code requirements. Shut off and depressurize the piping system completely before removing or installing any threaded fittings. Apply an approved thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male threads before assembly. Do not over-tighten, as galvanized fittings can crack if excessive force is applied.
