Value Collection BD-12115 Black Pipe Bushing 1/2x1/4 Npt

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION BD-12115 is a forged carbon steel threaded pipe bushing used to reduce a 1/2-inch female NPT port down to a 1/4-inch male NPT connection. Finished in black, this fitting is rated Class 3000 with a 3000 psi pressure rating, making it suitable for high-pressure liquid and gas piping systems. The forged carbon steel construction provides the mechanical strength required in demanding plumbing, HVAC, and industrial piping applications. This bushing ships in a package quantity of five, allowing technicians to stock multiples for common service calls or new installations.

This bushing is used wherever a threaded pipe assembly requires a 1/2-inch to 1/4-inch NPT reduction. Typical applications include gas distribution lines, compressed air systems, hydraulic piping, and HVAC refrigerant line accessories. It is appropriate for both residential and light commercial piping systems. Licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and HVAC technicians working with NPT-threaded iron or steel pipe systems commonly install this fitting during new construction and retrofit work.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber, pipefitter, or HVAC technician in accordance with applicable codes such as the IFGC or IPC. Shut off and depressurize the line completely before removing or installing any threaded fittings. Apply an approved pipe thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male threads before assembly. Do not over-tighten; use a properly sized pipe wrench and follow standard trade practice for NPT connections.
