ASC Engineered Solutions 318907201 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What sizes does the ASC Engineered Solutions black malleable iron hex bushing reduce between?
It takes a 1-1/4 inch male pipe thread on the large end down to a 3/8 inch female pipe thread on the small end. So it threads into a 1-1/4 inch female fitting or coupling and gives you a 3/8 inch tapped outlet, useful for dropping a gauge, drain, or small branch off a larger line.
2) Can I use a black malleable iron hex bushing on a fire sprinkler line?
This bushing carries a UL/FM listing, so it is acceptable for fire protection piping where a listed threaded fitting is called for. It is Class 150 standard weight per ASME B16.3 and made from ASTM A197 malleable iron.
3) Is a black iron bushing OK for potable water?
No. Black malleable iron is used for gas, fire protection, compressed air, and steam or hydronic service, not domestic potable water, because the unplated iron corrodes in a wet oxygenated line. For potable water use a galvanized or brass reducing bushing instead.
4) Does this bushing take a wrench, or do I need a special tool?
It has a hex body, so a standard pipe wrench or adjustable wrench on the flats seats it. That is the difference from a flush or face bushing, which has only a recessed square drive and is harder to set once it is in a tight spot.
5) What is the manufacturer part number for this ASC hex bushing?
The part number is 318907201, an ASC Engineered Solutions 1-1/4 x 3/8 black malleable iron hex bushing.
6) How much does the 1-1/4 x 3/8 black hex bushing weigh?
0.27 lbs each. Light enough that a box of them adds little to a service truck load, and small enough that it will not overload a threaded branch off an existing header.
