Value Collection B241N 32X10 Black Iron Bushing 1-1/4x3/8 Npt

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION B241N 32X10 is a threaded malleable iron reducing bushing with a black finish, designed to connect pipe runs of different sizes in gas and liquid piping systems. It transitions from a 1-1/4 inch female NPT connection to a 3/8 inch male NPT connection. Rated at 300 psi for both liquid and gas service, and classified as Class 150, this bushing meets ANSI/ASME B1.20.1 and ASME B16.3 standards. FM Approved and cULus Listed, it is suited for use where listed fittings are required by code. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters are the primary installers.

This bushing is used in residential and light commercial piping applications where a reduction between 1-1/4 inch and 3/8 inch NPT threaded connections is required. Common install scenarios include gas distribution piping, compressed air lines, and general fluid service piping. The black finish is standard for gas piping systems, distinguishing these fittings from galvanized water-service fittings. The malleable iron construction handles the stress of field assembly and minor joint movement better than cast iron alternatives.

Compatibility

Designed as a standard Class 150 NPT threaded reducing bushing compatible with malleable iron and steel threaded pipe systems using NPT connections per ANSI/ASME B1.20.1.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable local codes, the International Fuel Gas Code (IFGC), or the International Plumbing Code (IPC) as relevant. Shut off and depressurize the piping system completely before disassembling any threaded joints. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape rated for the service type before assembly. Do not over-tighten threaded connections, as malleable iron fittings can crack under excessive torque.
