ASC Engineered Solutions 318906682 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What sizes does the ASC Engineered Solutions black malleable iron hex bushing reduce between?
It reduces 1 inch down to 1/2 inch. The 1 inch end is male pipe thread (MPT) and screws into a 1 inch female fitting or coupling; the 1/2 inch end is female pipe thread (FPT) to take 1/2 inch male pipe or a 1/2 inch nipple.
2) Are the threads on this 1 x 1/2 hex bushing standard NPT so it mates with ordinary black pipe?
Yes. Threads are cut to ASME B1.20.1, the standard NPT taper thread spec, so it threads into ordinary black iron pipe and fittings. Use pipe dope or PTFE tape on the taper to seal.
3) Can I use a black malleable iron hex bushing on a gas line or a fire sprinkler branch?
The bushing is black finish malleable iron, the usual material for black iron gas and sprinkler piping rather than potable water, and it carries a UL/FM designation. It is built to ASME B16.3 for dimensions and pressure rating and ASTM A-197 for the iron itself. Confirm the fitting against your local code and the system's working pressure before installing.
4) Is this a standard or extra-heavy (Class 300) malleable iron bushing?
Standard weight. The strength rating is STD, which under ASME B16.3 is the Class 150 galvanized/black malleable line rather than the Class 300 extra-heavy pattern. If your drawing calls for Class 300, this is not the fitting to order.
5) Should I use a hex bushing or a reducing coupling to go from 1 inch to 1/2 inch?
A hex bushing is the shorter, cheaper way to reduce when you already have a 1 inch female port to thread into, since the male 1 inch end goes straight into the fitting and the 1/2 inch female end takes your smaller pipe. A reducing coupling is what you want when you are joining two lengths of male-threaded pipe end to end. Note the hex body needs a wrench flat clearance, so in tight pockets a face bushing may suit better.
6) What is the part number and weight on the ASC 1 x 1/2 black hex bushing for my purchase order?
Order it by manufacturer part number 318906682 from ASC Engineered Solutions. Each piece weighs 0.18 lbs, which matters if you are pricing freight on a full carton for an MRO stock order.
