Value Collection B-BUS0201 Black Bushing 1/4 X 1/8 in

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION B-BUS0201 is a malleable iron threaded bushing with a black finish, designed to reduce pipe connections from a 1/4-inch female thread to a 1/8-inch male thread. Rated at Class 150 with a liquid and gas pressure rating of 300 psi, this bushing handles both plumbing and light industrial piping applications. The malleable iron construction provides reliable strength and resistance to mechanical stress at threaded joints. Licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and HVAC technicians install this type of fitting when adapting between pipe sizes in low-to-medium pressure systems carrying water, air, or compatible gases.

This bushing is suited for residential and light commercial piping systems where threaded iron pipe connections require a size reduction. Common install scenarios include gas piping rough-in, compressed air distribution lines, and hydronic heating systems. The 1/4-inch to 1/8-inch reduction is a standard size step frequently encountered when connecting gauges, valves, sensors, or small-bore branch lines to larger iron pipe runs.

Key Features

• Malleable iron construction for durability at threaded connections
• Black finish suitable for gas and standard plumbing piping systems
• Class 150 rated with 300 psi liquid and gas pressure rating
• Threaded end connections on both male and female ends
• 1/4-inch female to 1/8-inch male size reduction

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard fitting for threaded malleable iron pipe systems rated at Class 150 or lower pressure service.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed plumbers or pipefitters following applicable code requirements such as the IPC or IFGC for gas piping. Shut off and depressurize the system completely before removing or installing any threaded fitting. Apply thread sealant or PTFE tape appropriate for the service medium before tightening. Do not over-tighten threaded connections, as malleable iron fittings can crack under excessive torque.
