Rated at 300 psi for liquid and gas service and 150 psi for steam, this Class 150 bushing carries a galvanized finish that resists corrosion in demanding environments. Plumbers, pipefitters, and mechanical contractors install this fitting when reducing pipe thread sizes within gas distribution, water supply, compressed air, and steam systems. The malleable iron construction provides the toughness needed to withstand torque during installation without cracking.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis bushing is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing and mechanical piping systems where a threaded size reduction is required inline. Typical applications include gas supply lines, air compressor piping, hydronic heating systems, and general industrial fluid distribution. The galvanized exterior makes it a practical choice in mildly corrosive or outdoor-exposed environments where bare iron would degrade prematurely.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e300 psi pressure rating for liquid and gas service\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e150 psi steam pressure rating for steam piping applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eGalvanized finish for corrosion resistance\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMalleable iron construction withstands installation torque without fracturing\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eClass 150 fitting conforming to standard threaded pipe fitting classifications\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eReduces 1\/2-inch female thread to 3\/8-inch male thread in a single fitting\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for standard NPT threaded pipe systems requiring a 1\/2-inch to 3\/8-inch reduction in malleable iron Class 150 configurations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable local codes, including IPC and IFGC requirements for threaded pipe connections. Shut off and depressurize the line completely before removing or installing any threaded fitting. Apply an approved thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male threads before assembly. Do not over-torque malleable iron fittings, as excessive force can damage threads or crack the fitting body.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFitting Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Bushing\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFitting Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/2 x 3\/8 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: Malleable Iron\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish Coating\u003c\/strong\u003e: Galvanized\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eClass\u003c\/strong\u003e: 150\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLiquid and Gas Pressure Rating\u003c\/strong\u003e: 300 psi\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSteam Pressure Rating\u003c\/strong\u003e: 150 psi\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePackage Quantity\u003c\/strong\u003e: 5\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.01 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: VALUE COLLECTION\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 13103\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"VALUE COLLECTION","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51697094820146,"sku":"13103","price":18.27,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/368ecff92aee72ac3a91f6d358c0823e.jpg?v=1788349343","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/value-collection-13103-malleable-iron-pipe-bushing-1-2x3-8","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
