Value Collection 12118 Black Pipe Bushing 3/4x3/8 Npt Class 3000

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 12118 is a forged carbon steel pipe bushing with a black finish, designed to reduce a 3/4-inch female NPT connection down to a 3/8-inch male NPT thread. Built to Class 3000 pressure standards, this bushing carries a 3000 psi liquid and gas pressure rating, making it suitable for demanding piping applications. It ships in a pack of five units. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install these fittings in both gas and liquid distribution systems where a threaded reduction between two NPT ports is required.

This bushing is used in residential and commercial piping systems wherever a 3/4-inch to 3/8-inch NPT threaded reduction is needed. Common applications include natural gas lines, compressed air systems, hydraulic assemblies, and general-purpose fluid distribution piping. The black finish is standard for gas piping installations per common code practice. The Class 3000 rating suits high-pressure service lines where standard malleable iron fittings would be inadequate.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable codes such as the IFGC or IPC. Shut off and depressurize the line completely before threading or removing any fittings. Apply an approved thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male threads before assembly. Do not overtighten threaded connections; follow standard NPT wrench-tight practices to avoid stress cracking the fitting or adjacent components.
