Value Collection 1BXE.NB Malleable Iron Pipe Bushing

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 1BXE.NB is a galvanized malleable iron pipe bushing designed to reduce a 1-1/4 inch female pipe thread down to a 3/4 inch male pipe thread. This Class 150 fitting handles liquid and gas service at up to 300 psi and steam service at up to 150 psi. Malleable iron construction provides the ductility needed to resist cracking under mechanical stress, making it a reliable choice for threaded piping assemblies in demanding environments. Plumbers, pipefitters, and HVAC technicians reach for this type of bushing when reducing pipe sizes within a run without adding additional coupling hardware.

This bushing is suited for use in residential and light commercial piping systems carrying water, gas, air, or steam within rated pressure limits. Typical applications include reducing branch outlets, fitting transitions in gas distribution lines, compressed air systems, and hydronic heating piping. The galvanized finish provides a layer of corrosion resistance for installations in moderately moist or outdoor-adjacent environments. It is sold and packaged individually.

Key Features

• Rated to 300 psi for liquid and gas service
• Rated to 150 psi for steam service
• Class 150 malleable iron construction for impact and stress resistance
• Galvanized finish for added corrosion protection
• Weighs 0.41 pounds — compact and easy to handle in tight spaces

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for standard NPT threaded piping systems rated at Class 150, including water, gas, air, and steam service within specified pressure limits.

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 where gas service is involved. Shut off and depressurize the piping system fully before removing or installing any threaded fitting. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male threads before assembly, and tighten using a pipe wrench to achieve a leak-free joint without over-stressing the fitting. Do not exceed the published pressure ratings for the intended service type.
