Value Collection -13358-3 Malleable Iron Bushing 1-1/4x1/2

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION -13358-3 is a black malleable iron threaded bushing used to reduce a 1-1/4 inch female pipe thread opening down to a 1/2 inch male pipe thread connection. It carries a Class 150 rating and a liquid and gas pressure rating of 300 psi, making it suitable for general plumbing, HVAC piping, and light industrial piping systems. The black finish is standard for non-potable gas and fluid service lines. Plumbers, pipefitters, and HVAC technicians install this bushing when transitioning between pipe sizes in threaded iron pipe assemblies.

This bushing fits standard residential and light commercial applications where malleable iron threaded fittings are specified. Typical use cases include natural gas distribution piping, compressed air lines, steam lines, and general water service piping where a reducing connection between 1-1/4 inch and 1/2 inch NPT threaded pipe is needed. It is sold individually but carries a minimum order quantity of 5 units, making it well-suited for stocking in a service van or shop inventory.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed plumbers or pipefitters following applicable local codes and IFGC or IPC guidelines depending on the service type. Shut off gas or fluid supply and relieve system pressure before removing or installing any threaded fitting. Apply thread sealant or PTFE tape rated for the intended service medium before threading the bushing into the female fitting. Do not overtighten malleable iron fittings, as the material can crack under excessive torque.
