Value Collection -13103-1 Malleable Iron Pipe Bushing

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION -13103-1 is a malleable iron pipe bushing designed to reduce a 3/4-inch female threaded opening down to a 1/8-inch male threaded connection. Finished with a galvanized coating for corrosion resistance, this Class 150 fitting carries a pressure rating of 300 psi for liquid and gas service and 300 psi for steam service. It is a standard threaded pipe fitting used in plumbing, HVAC, and industrial piping systems where a reliable, code-compliant bushing is required for pipe size transitions.

This bushing is suited for residential and light commercial applications involving water, gas, and steam lines. It threads directly into a 3/4-inch female NPT fitting or pipe end and accepts a 1/8-inch male NPT connection, making it a common choice when reducing branch lines, instrumentation ports, or gauge connections to a smaller pipe size. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this type of fitting in a range of hydronic, gas, and compressed-air systems.

Key Features

• 300 psi liquid and gas pressure rating for reliable service in pressurized systems
• 300 psi steam pressure rating suitable for low-pressure steam piping
• Malleable iron construction provides strength and thread integrity under torque
• Galvanized finish adds corrosion resistance in exposed or damp environments
• Class 150 designation consistent with standard threaded pipe fitting specifications
• 3/4-inch female to 1/8-inch male NPT thread configuration for direct in-line installation

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting compatible with standard NPT threaded pipe systems requiring a 3/4-inch to 1/8-inch reduction.

Installation Notes

Installation of threaded pipe fittings should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable codes such as the International Plumbing Code or International Fuel Gas Code. Shut off and depressurize the affected pipe section completely before removing or installing any fitting. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to male threads before assembly, and tighten to a snug, leak-free fit without overtightening malleable iron threads. Pressure-test the completed assembly before returning the system to service.
