Value Collection -13106-3 Malleable Iron Pipe Bushing

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION -13106-3 is a malleable iron pipe bushing designed to reduce a 1-inch female pipe thread to a 3/8-inch male pipe thread. This Class 150 fitting carries a galvanized finish for corrosion resistance and is rated at 300 psi for liquid and gas service and 150 psi for steam. It is a standard threaded pipe fitting used in plumbing, HVAC, and industrial piping systems wherever a pipe size reduction is needed at a threaded joint. Plumbers, pipefitters, and HVAC technicians install this type of bushing during rough-in and service work on both new construction and retrofit piping assemblies.

This bushing is suited for residential and light commercial piping systems carrying water, air, gas, or steam within its rated pressure limits. It threads directly into a 1-inch female threaded fitting, coupling, or valve body and accepts a 3/8-inch male threaded pipe or fitting on the opposite end. The galvanized coating makes it appropriate for exposed or moderately wet environments where bare iron would be prone to surface corrosion.

Key Features

• Malleable iron construction provides durability and thread integrity under mechanical stress
• Galvanized finish offers corrosion resistance in wet or humid service environments
• 300 psi liquid and gas pressure rating suits most commercial and residential piping applications
• 150 psi steam pressure rating allows use in low-pressure steam heating systems
• Class 150 fitting compatible with standard NPT threaded pipe systems
• Reduces 1-inch female thread to 3/8-inch male thread in a single fitting

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard-service bushing for Class 150 NPT malleable iron threaded piping systems handling liquid, gas, or steam within rated pressure limits.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed plumbers or pipefitters following applicable IPC and IFGC code requirements for the service fluid and pressure. Shut off and depressurize the piping system completely before removing or installing any threaded fitting. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or tape rated for the service fluid before threading the bushing into place. Do not over-torque malleable iron fittings, as the material can crack under excessive wrench force.
