Value Collection B-RCP2520 Reducing Bushing 2-1/2x2 in

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION B-RCP2520 is a malleable iron reducing bushing designed to connect a 2-1/2 inch pipe to a 2 inch fitting in threaded piping systems. It carries a 300 psi pressure rating for liquid and gas service and a 150 psi rating for steam, meeting Class 150 standards. The galvanized finish provides corrosion resistance for use in exposed or moderately harsh environments. Plumbers, pipefitters, and mechanical contractors install this type of bushing when transitioning between pipe sizes in water, gas, air, and steam distribution systems.

This reducing bushing is suited for residential and commercial plumbing, HVAC piping, compressed air lines, and low-pressure steam systems where a threaded pipe size reduction is required at a fitting, valve, or equipment connection point. The galvanized malleable iron construction makes it a standard choice for black iron gas piping systems as well as water service lines where a durable threaded transition is needed.

Key Features

• 300 psi liquid and gas pressure rating for reliable service in demanding piping applications
• 150 psi steam pressure rating, suitable for low-pressure steam distribution
• Malleable iron construction provides strength and resistance to cracking under mechanical stress
• Galvanized finish adds corrosion resistance for extended service life
• Class 150 fitting, compatible with standard threaded pipe systems
• Compact bushing design installs directly into a female-threaded fitting or valve without additional adapters

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard-use reducing bushing for 2-1/2 inch to 2 inch threaded malleable iron piping systems in Class 150 liquid, gas, and steam service.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable local plumbing and mechanical codes. Shut off and depressurize the system completely before disassembling any threaded connections. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male threads before installation to ensure a leak-free joint. Do not over-torque the bushing, as malleable iron threads can be damaged by excessive force.
