Value Collection -13353-1D Malleable Iron Pipe Bushing

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION -13353-1D is a malleable iron pipe bushing designed to reduce a 1/2 inch female pipe thread to a 3/8 inch male pipe thread. Rated at 300 psi for liquid and gas service and 150 psi for steam, this Class 150 fitting handles a broad range of piping applications. Malleable iron construction provides the ductility and thread integrity required for reliable, leak-free joints in both low- and moderate-pressure systems. Licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and HVAC technicians use bushings like this to adapt pipe sizes within a run without requiring additional unions or fittings.

This bushing is suited for residential and light commercial piping systems carrying water, air, natural gas, propane, or low-pressure steam. Typical installation scenarios include reducing branch takeoffs, adapting valve ports, and connecting dissimilar pipe sizes within a distribution system. Sold in a package quantity of five units, making it practical for service vehicles and shop stock.
