Value Collection 13104 Malleable Iron Pipe Bushing 3/4x1/4

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 13104 is a malleable iron pipe bushing designed to reduce a 3/4-inch female pipe thread to a 1/4-inch male pipe thread. It carries a liquid and gas pressure rating of 300 psi and a steam pressure rating of 150 psi, placing it squarely in the Class 150 fitting category. The galvanized finish provides corrosion resistance for use in a range of piping environments. Plumbers and pipefitters install this bushing wherever a reduction between these two common pipe sizes is required in threaded iron piping systems.

This bushing is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing, HVAC condensate and gas-train piping, and general industrial pipe assemblies where malleable iron fittings are specified. It is used in liquid, gas, and low-pressure steam lines that fall within the rated pressure limits. The compact hex-style body allows installation with standard pipe wrenches or a strap wrench in tight spaces.

Key Features

• Reduces 3/4-inch female NPT to 1/4-inch male NPT in a single fitting
• 300 psi liquid and gas pressure rating for demanding service conditions
• 150 psi steam pressure rating, Class 150 designation
• Malleable iron construction offers strength and machinability for threaded connections
• Galvanized finish resists corrosion in wet and outdoor piping environments
• Sold in a package quantity of 5, minimizing reorder frequency for active service vehicles or shop stock

Compatibility

Designed as a standard NPT threaded malleable iron bushing for use in Class 150 threaded pipe systems handling liquid, gas, or low-pressure steam service within the rated pressure limits.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed plumbers or pipefitters working on threaded iron pipe systems. Shut off and bleed pressure from the line before disassembling any fitting. Apply listed pipe thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male threads before making up the connection; do not apply sealant to the first two threads. Tighten with a pipe wrench to a snug, leak-free fit and pressure-test the assembly before returning the system to service in accordance with applicable plumbing and mechanical codes.
