Value Collection 13353D Black Steel Bushing 1/2x3/8 Cl150

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 13353D is a black-finish steel pipe bushing designed to reduce a 1/2 inch female threaded port down to a 3/8 inch male threaded connection. Built to Class 150 standards and rated for 300 psi service, this bushing handles both liquid and gas piping applications. The black finish results from a hot-oil or lacquer treatment standard on black malleable or steel fittings and provides modest corrosion resistance in dry, indoor environments. Licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and HVAC technicians install this fitting during new construction and repair work on low-pressure distribution systems.

This bushing is suited for residential and light commercial piping systems where a threaded reduction is needed between a 1/2 inch line and a 3/8 inch branch or appliance connection. Common applications include natural gas supply lines, compressed air distribution, water supply rough-in, and hydronic heating systems operating within Class 150 pressure limits. Sold in a pack of 5, making it a practical bench stock item for service vans and supply rooms.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber, pipefitter, or qualified HVAC technician in accordance with applicable local codes and IFGC or IPC requirements. Shut off and depressurize the line completely before removing or installing any threaded fitting. Apply an approved pipe thread sealant or PTFE tape rated for the service medium before threading the bushing into place. Do not use this fitting in systems exceeding its rated pressure or in outdoor exposed environments without additional corrosion protection.
