ASC Engineered Solutions 318907409 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What sizes does the ASC Engineered Solutions black malleable iron hex bushing reduce between?
It takes a 1-1/2 inch male pipe thread down to a 1-1/4 inch female pipe thread. The large end (1.5) threads into a 1-1/2 inch female fitting or coupling, and the 1-1/4 inch FPT side accepts 1-1/4 inch male pipe or a 1-1/4 inch nipple.
2) Can I use this black malleable iron bushing on a gas line, or is it for water?
Black malleable iron fittings are the standard choice for natural gas and propane piping and for hydronic or steam service, not for potable water, where the bare iron corrodes and galvanized or copper is used instead. This one is black finish malleable iron to ASTM A-197, dimensionally to ASME B16.3. Always check your local gas code for approved fittings on the run.
3) Is this bushing UL listed / FM approved for a fire sprinkler system?
Yes, the ASC Engineered Solutions 1-1/2 x 1-1/4 black hex bushing carries UL/FM recognition. That said, many sprinkler authorities restrict bushings in fire protection piping, so verify with the AHJ before using a reducing bushing in place of a reducing coupling on a sprinkler main or branch line.
4) What pressure class is this 1-1/2 x 1-1/4 malleable iron bushing?
It is a standard (STD) class fitting rated per ASME B16.3, which is the pressure-temperature rating standard for threaded malleable iron. If your drawing calls for an extra heavy 300-class fitting, the STD part is not a substitute.
5) Do I need a wrench flat to install this reducer, or is it a flush-face bushing?
It is a hex bushing, so the large end has wrench flats on the outside. You can set it with a standard pipe wrench or an open-end wrench before the mating pipe goes in. A face bushing, by contrast, has only internal hex and needs a hex key, so pick the hex style when you have room around the fitting.
6) What is the ASC part number and weight on the 1-1/2 x 1-1/4 black hex bushing?
Order it as ASC Engineered Solutions MPN 318907409. It weighs 0.3 lbs each, which matters if you are pulling a bulk count for a job and figuring freight on a pallet of fittings.
