Value Collection 12117 Black Pipe Bushing 3/4x1/4 Npt Class 3000 5pk

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 12117 is a forged carbon steel hex bushing with a black finish, sized at 3/4 inch by 1/4 inch with NPT end connections. It is rated for Class 3000 service, supporting liquid and gas pressure applications up to 3000 psi. This bushing is used to reduce a larger threaded female port to a smaller male thread, a common requirement in pipe assemblies across plumbing, HVAC, and industrial fluid systems. Licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and mechanical contractors install this fitting when transitioning between pipe sizes in threaded black iron or carbon steel piping systems. Sold in a pack of 5.

This bushing suits residential and commercial applications where black steel pipe systems carry gas, steam, air, or water. Typical install scenarios include gas distribution lines, compressed air headers, boiler piping, and general mechanical room pipe assemblies. The 3/4 inch by 1/4 inch size reduction is one of the most frequently needed transitions in threaded pipe work, making this a standard stocking item for service vans and supply rooms.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable mechanical and plumbing codes such as the IPC or IFGC. Shut off and depressurize the line before removing or installing any threaded fitting. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male threads before assembly. Do not overtighten threaded fittings in cast or forged connections, as this can crack the fitting or damage the mating port.
