Value Collection -13353-1 Malleable Iron Pipe Bushing

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION -13353-1 is a malleable iron pipe bushing used to reduce a 3/4-inch female pipe thread to a 1/8-inch male pipe thread. It is rated for 300 psi on liquid and gas service and 150 psi on steam service, meeting Class 150 standards. The galvanized finish provides corrosion resistance in a wide range of installation environments. Plumbers, pipefitters, and mechanical contractors install this type of bushing when connecting smaller-diameter fittings or instruments into larger pipe runs in both above-grade and utility piping systems.

This bushing is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing, HVAC hydronic systems, low-pressure steam heating systems, and gas distribution piping where a reduction from 3/4-inch to 1/8-inch NPT is required. Typical applications include instrument taps, gauge ports, and branch reductions on water, gas, and low-pressure steam lines. The galvanized malleable iron construction handles both wet and dry service conditions encountered in mechanical room and utility piping installations.

Key Features

• Malleable iron construction for durability and thread integrity under pressure
• Galvanized finish for corrosion resistance in wet and utility environments
• 300 psi liquid and gas pressure rating for versatile service applications
• 150 psi steam pressure rating suitable for low-pressure steam heating systems
• Class 150 fitting compliant with standard pipe fitting specifications
• 3/4-inch female to 1/8-inch male NPT reduction for instrument taps and branch connections

Compatibility

Designed as a standard Class 150 malleable iron NPT bushing for use in liquid, gas, and low-pressure steam piping systems where a 3/4-inch to 1/8-inch threaded reduction is required.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed plumbers or pipefitters following applicable codes such as the IPC or IFGC. Depressurize and isolate the pipe section before installation and apply an approved pipe thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male threads before make-up. Do not overtighten, as malleable iron threads can be damaged by excessive force. For gas service, verify the pressure rating is appropriate for the system operating pressure before placing the fitting in service.
