Value Collection BD-12123 Black Pipe Bushing Npt Class 3000

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION BD-12123 is a forged carbon steel pipe bushing with a black finish, rated for Class 3000 service. It is designed to reduce a 1-1/4 inch female NPT opening down to a 3/4 inch male NPT connection. This type of reducing bushing is a standard fitting used in high-pressure piping assemblies for gas, steam, water, and hydraulic applications. Licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and HVAC technicians install these fittings in both commercial and industrial piping systems where threaded connections are required. Each order contains 2 pieces. The forged carbon steel construction and Class 3000 pressure rating make this bushing suitable for demanding service conditions.

This bushing is used wherever a threaded pipe run requires a reduction from 1-1/4 inch to 3/4 inch NPT. Typical applications include gas distribution piping, steam lines, water supply systems, and hydraulic service lines in mechanical rooms, industrial facilities, and commercial buildings. The black finish is standard for carbon steel pipe fittings and is commonly specified in gas piping and non-potable water systems. The NPT thread form ensures a standard taper fit compatible with conventional pipe thread compounds and tape.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable codes, including the International Plumbing Code or International Fuel Gas Code where relevant. Shut off and depressurize the system completely before making or breaking any threaded connections. Apply an appropriate pipe thread sealant compound or PTFE tape to male threads before assembly. Do not over-tighten threaded fittings, as forged steel bushings can crack cast or threaded mating components if excessive force is applied.
