Value Collection 13368 Malleable Iron Pipe Bushing 3x1.5 in

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 13368 is a malleable iron pipe bushing designed to reduce a 3-inch pipe connection down to a 1-1/2-inch fitting. It handles liquid and gas service up to 300 psi and steam service up to 150 psi, placing it in the Class 150 pressure class. Malleable iron construction provides the toughness needed for threaded pipe assemblies in demanding service environments. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this bushing in commercial and industrial piping systems where a concentric reduction is needed at a threaded joint.

This bushing is suited for use in gas distribution lines, liquid process piping, and low-pressure steam systems. The 3 x 1-1/2-inch size makes it a common choice wherever a larger main line must step down to a smaller branch or equipment connection. It is installed by threading directly into the female end of the larger fitting, accepting the male end of the smaller pipe on its interior threads.

Key Features

• Malleable iron construction for durability in threaded pipe assemblies
• 300 psi liquid and gas pressure rating for demanding service conditions
• 150 psi steam pressure rating, Class 150 rated
• 3-inch x 1-1/2-inch concentric reduction for standard pipe sizing
• Sold individually, no minimum order beyond a single unit

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard-stock fitting for Class 150 malleable iron threaded pipe systems in plumbing, gas, and low-pressure steam applications.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable IPC or IFGC codes. Shut off and depressurize the line completely before removing or installing any threaded fitting. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male threads before assembly. Do not over-tighten; use a pipe wrench sized for the fitting to achieve a secure, leak-free joint without cracking the casting.
