Value Collection 13894G Reducing Bushing 1 X 3/8 in Malleable Iron

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 13894G is a malleable iron pipe reducing bushing designed to connect a 1-inch pipe to a 3/8-inch fitting in threaded piping systems. Rated at 300 psi for liquid and gas service and 150 psi for steam, this Class 150 bushing handles demanding pressure conditions in both plumbing and light industrial applications. The galvanized finish provides corrosion resistance in environments where moisture or condensation is present. Plumbers, pipefitters, and HVAC technicians use reducing bushings like this to step down pipe sizes without additional couplings or adapters.

This reducing bushing is suited for residential and light commercial piping installations involving water, natural gas, propane, air, and steam lines. Typical use cases include gas supply branch takeoffs, compressed air distribution, and hydronic heating system connections where a pipe size transition is needed at a valve, fitting, or equipment port. The galvanized malleable iron construction makes it appropriate for both interior and exterior threaded applications.

Key Features

• Malleable iron construction for strength and resistance to impact in threaded piping systems
• Galvanized finish provides corrosion protection in moist or outdoor-adjacent environments
• 300 psi liquid and gas pressure rating supports a wide range of service conditions
• 150 psi steam pressure rating suitable for low-pressure steam applications
• Class 150 fitting standard for broad system compatibility
• Sold in a package quantity of 5, meeting the minimum order requirement

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard-fit reducing bushing for threaded malleable iron piping systems using 1-inch female to 3/8-inch male NPT connections.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable local plumbing and mechanical codes, including IPC and IFGC requirements for gas piping. Shut off and depressurize the line before disassembling any threaded connection. Apply an approved thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male threads before assembly, and tighten to a secure fit without over-torquing the fitting. For gas service, leak-test all connections with an approved detection solution after installation.
