Value Collection BD-KP69520 Steel Pipe Bushing Npt

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION BD-KP69520 is a black steel pipe bushing designed to reduce a 1-1/2-inch female threaded port down to a 1-1/4-inch male threaded connection. Constructed from steel with NPT (National Pipe Thread) end connections, this bushing provides a reliable, pressure-rated transition between two different pipe sizes in a threaded piping system. It is a standard hex bushing configuration used across plumbing, HVAC, gas piping, and industrial fluid systems. Licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and HVAC technicians install this type of fitting as part of routine piping assemblies and service calls. Sold in packages of three, it suits jobsite stocking and service van inventory.

This bushing is suited for residential and commercial threaded pipe systems where a size reduction from 1-1/2 inches to 1-1/4 inches is required. Common applications include gas line fittings, water supply rough-in, HVAC condensate and hydronic piping, and general mechanical system assemblies. The black steel construction makes it appropriate for gas and air systems where galvanized coatings are not required or preferred. It is typically installed inline at valves, tees, or equipment connection ports.

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard-stock fitting for threaded steel pipe systems using NPT connections in residential and commercial mechanical applications.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber, pipefitter, or qualified HVAC technician in accordance with applicable local codes and the International Fuel Gas Code (IFGC) or International Plumbing Code (IPC) as relevant. Always shut off the gas or water supply and relieve system pressure before disassembling or installing any threaded fitting. Apply an appropriate thread sealant, either PTFE tape or pipe-thread compound rated for the service fluid, before tightening. Do not overtighten steel threaded fittings, as cracking or thread damage can result.
