Value Collection B-BUS1005 Malleable Iron Bushing 1x1/2

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION B-BUS1005 is a black malleable iron pipe bushing rated for Class 150 service. It reduces a 1-inch threaded female connection down to a 1/2-inch threaded male connection, making it a standard reducer fitting in piping assemblies. With a 300 psi liquid and gas pressure rating, this bushing handles typical pressure demands found in low- and medium-pressure piping systems. The black finish is standard for iron pipe fittings used in gas, air, and water distribution lines. Plumbers, pipefitters, and HVAC technicians install this type of fitting when adapting between pipe sizes in threaded iron systems.

This bushing fits into commercial and residential piping applications where a 1-inch to 1/2-inch size reduction is needed at a threaded joint. Common install scenarios include branch line reductions on gas distribution piping, compressed air systems, and water supply lines. The fitting threads conform to standard NPT specifications and mates with other Class 150 iron or steel threaded fittings in the same system. It is sold individually and suits both new construction and repair or retrofit work.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber, pipefitter, or HVAC technician in accordance with applicable local codes and IFGC or IPC requirements. Shut off and depressurize the affected line before removing or installing any threaded fittings. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male threads before assembly. Do not overtighten, as malleable iron fittings can crack under excessive torque.
