Value Collection B-BUS0302 Black Iron Bushing 3/8x1/4

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION B-BUS0302 is a black malleable iron threaded bushing used to reduce pipe connections from a 3/8-inch female thread to a 1/4-inch male thread. Rated Class 150 with a 300 psi pressure rating for liquid and gas service, this bushing is suited for low-pressure piping systems in plumbing, HVAC, and light industrial applications. The black finish is standard for gas piping installations. Licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and HVAC technicians install this type of fitting as a routine reduction in threaded iron pipe systems.

This bushing is used in residential and commercial piping systems where a threaded pipe or fitting must step down from 3/8-inch to 1/4-inch NPT. Common install scenarios include gas supply lines, compressed air distribution, and water supply piping using Schedule 40 black iron pipe. The threaded end connections allow hand-start installation followed by wrench tightening without special tooling.

Key Features

• 3/8-inch female NPT to 1/4-inch male NPT reduction
• 300 psi pressure rating for liquid and gas service
• Class 150 malleable iron construction
• Black finish suitable for gas piping applications
• Threaded end connections for standard NPT pipe assembly

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for standard NPT threaded iron pipe systems rated at Class 150 or below.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed plumbers or pipefitters following applicable IPC or IFGC code requirements. Shut off and depressurize the line before installing or replacing any threaded fitting. Apply appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to male threads before assembly. Tighten with a pipe wrench to avoid cross-threading or over-torquing the malleable iron body.
