Value Collection 13099 Malleable Iron Pipe Bushing 3/8x1/8

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 13099 is a malleable iron pipe bushing designed to reduce a 3/8-inch female pipe thread to a 1/8-inch male pipe thread. It carries a liquid and gas pressure rating of 300 psi and a steam pressure rating of 150 psi, making it suitable for a wide range of fluid and gas piping systems. The galvanized finish provides corrosion resistance for both indoor and moderate-exposure outdoor installations. Plumbers, pipefitters, and mechanical contractors use this Class 150 bushing as a standard reducer fitting in threaded piping assemblies.

This bushing is used in residential and light commercial piping applications where a threaded pipe or fitting needs to be stepped down from 3/8-inch to 1/8-inch NPT. Common installation scenarios include gas supply lines, compressed air systems, water distribution piping, and hydronic heating systems. The malleable iron construction handles mechanical stress and vibration better than cast iron, making it a reliable choice in systems subject to thermal cycling or pressure fluctuation. Each order includes 5 pieces per package.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed plumbers or pipefitters following applicable IPC and IFGC codes. Apply thread sealant or PTFE tape to male threads before assembly and hand-tighten before using a pipe wrench to avoid cross-threading. Shut off and depressurize the system completely before removing or installing any threaded fittings. Do not exceed the rated pressure limits for the intended service medium.
