Value Collection BD-12121 Black Pipe Bushing Npt Class 3000

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION BD-12121 is a forged carbon steel black pipe bushing used to reduce a 1-inch female NPT opening to a 1/2-inch male NPT connection. The black finish is applied through an oxide treatment standard to Class 3000 carbon steel fittings. Rated to 3000 psi for both liquid and gas service, this bushing is suited for high-pressure piping applications where a reliable threaded reduction is required. Plumbers, pipefitters, and HVAC technicians install these fittings in gas lines, hydraulic supply lines, and industrial process piping. Sold in a package of 5 pieces.

This bushing fits into standard NPT threaded piping systems in residential and commercial installations. Common applications include natural gas distribution headers, compressed air systems, and steam or hydraulic lines where a concentric reduction between 1-inch and 1/2-inch pipe sizes is needed. The Class 3000 pressure rating makes it appropriate for demanding service conditions beyond standard 150-class fittings. No special tools are required beyond pipe wrenches and appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape.

Key Features

• Forged carbon steel construction for high-pressure service integrity
• Class 3000 pressure rating at 3000 psi for both liquid and gas media
• 1-inch female NPT to 1/2-inch male NPT concentric reduction
• Black oxide finish provides corrosion resistance in dry and low-moisture environments
• Sold in a quantity of 5 per package, with a minimum order quantity of 1

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for standard NPT threaded piping systems rated to Class 3000 service in gas, liquid, and hydraulic applications.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed plumbers or pipefitters following applicable code requirements such as the IFGC or IPC. Shut off and depressurize the line completely before making or breaking any threaded connection. Apply thread sealant or PTFE tape rated for the intended service medium to the male threads before assembly. Do not over-tighten; use a backup wrench on adjacent fittings to avoid stressing upstream connections.
