Value Collection BD-12111 Black Pipe Bushing 1/4x1/8 Npt

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION BD-12111 is a forged carbon steel pipe bushing with a black finish, designed to reduce a 1/4-inch NPT female fitting down to a 1/8-inch NPT male thread. Built to Class 3000 pressure standards, this bushing carries a working pressure rating of 3000 psi, making it suitable for demanding liquid and gas piping applications. The black finish provides basic corrosion resistance for general service environments. Sold in a pack of five, the BD-12111 is a standard reducing bushing used by plumbers, pipefitters, and HVAC technicians across a wide range of mechanical systems.

This bushing is used in residential and light commercial piping systems where a threaded connection must step down from 1/4-inch to 1/8-inch NPT. Common applications include natural gas branch lines, compressed air systems, hydraulic circuits, and water supply piping where high-pressure, forged fittings are required. The NPT thread form ensures a tapered, pressure-tight seal when properly assembled with thread sealant or PTFE tape.

Key Features

• Forged carbon steel construction rated for high-pressure service up to 3000 psi
• Black finish suitable for gas and general-service liquid piping
• 1/4-inch female NPT inlet reduces to 1/8-inch male NPT outlet
• Class 3000 classification meets standard requirements for high-pressure threaded fittings
• NPT tapered threads form a reliable, leak-resistant mechanical seal
• Sold in a pack of five for common multi-point installation jobs

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for threaded NPT piping systems requiring a 1/4-inch to 1/8-inch reducing bushing in forged carbon steel.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed plumbers or pipefitters following applicable codes such as the International Plumbing Code or International Fuel Gas Code. Shut off and depressurize the system completely before removing or installing any threaded fittings. Apply approved thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male NPT threads before assembly. Do not overtighten; hand-tighten and then wrench-tighten to a firm, leak-free seat without stressing the fitting body.
