Value Collection 3X2D.BB Black Cast Iron Threaded Bushing

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 3X2D.BB is a black-finish cast iron threaded bushing designed to reduce a 3-inch pipe connection down to a 2.5-inch connection in plumbing and piping systems. Rated at Class 150 with a liquid and gas pressure rating of 300 psi, this bushing is built for both liquid and gas service in commercial and industrial piping runs. The black finish is standard for malleable or cast iron fittings used in gas distribution and black iron pipe systems. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters are the typical installers for this type of fitting.

This bushing is used in residential and commercial piping applications where a threaded reducer is needed between a 3-inch and 2.5-inch pipe. Common install scenarios include natural gas distribution lines, compressed air systems, and general industrial fluid piping. The threaded end connections make it compatible with standard NPT black iron pipe assemblies. At 1.61 pounds, it is a solid, full-body cast iron fitting suited for permanent installations requiring a reliable pressure-rated reduction point.

Key Features

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for standard Class 150 threaded black iron pipe systems requiring a 3-inch to 2.5-inch reduction.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter 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 thread sealant or PTFE tape appropriate for the service type — gas or liquid — before threading the bushing into place. Do not overtighten; use a pipe wrench to achieve a proper mechanical seal without stressing the fitting body.
