Value Collection 13098 Malleable Iron Pipe Bushing 1/4x1/8

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 13098 is a malleable iron pipe bushing used to reduce a 1/4-inch female pipe thread to a 1/8-inch male pipe thread in threaded piping systems. The galvanized finish provides corrosion resistance for use in liquid, gas, and low-pressure steam applications. Rated at 300 psi for liquid and gas service and 150 psi for steam, this Class 150 fitting meets standard pressure requirements for light commercial and residential piping. Plumbers, pipefitters, and mechanical contractors install this bushing when transitioning between pipe sizes in threaded iron pipe assemblies.

This bushing is suited for use in water supply, compressed air, natural gas distribution, and low-pressure steam piping systems. The malleable iron construction handles vibration and mechanical stress better than cast iron, making it a reliable choice in applications where some pipe movement or thermal cycling is expected. Sold in a package quantity of five units per order.

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard component fitting for Class 150 threaded malleable iron pipe systems using 1/4-inch and 1/8-inch NPT connections.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed plumbers or pipefitters following applicable IPC and IFGC code requirements for the service type. Depressurize and drain the piping system completely before removing or installing any threaded fittings. Apply thread sealant or PTFE tape appropriate for the service medium before threading the bushing into the female fitting. Do not overtighten; use a pipe wrench with proper support on the mating fitting to avoid cracking the surrounding joint.
