Value Collection DXA.NSB Malleable Iron Pipe Bushing 1/2x1/8

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION DXA.NSB is a malleable iron pipe bushing designed to reduce a 1/2-inch female fitting down to a 1/8-inch male fitting in threaded pipe assemblies. Galvanized finish provides corrosion resistance for use in both wet and dry environments. Rated at 300 psi for liquid and gas service and 150 psi for steam, this Class 150 bushing handles the pressure demands of standard residential and light commercial piping systems. Plumbers, pipefitters, and HVAC technicians install this fitting when transitioning between pipe sizes in threaded iron pipe runs.

This bushing is suited for plumbing, HVAC, and gas distribution applications where a threaded size reduction is required between 1/2-inch and 1/8-inch NPT connections. Typical install scenarios include connecting smaller-diameter instrumentation ports, pressure gauge taps, or branch line take-offs into a larger main line. The galvanized coating makes it appropriate for water supply, compressed air, and compatible gas piping systems operating within rated pressure limits.

Key Features

• Malleable iron construction for durability in threaded pipe systems
• Galvanized finish for corrosion resistance in wet and gas environments
• 300 psi liquid and gas pressure rating for standard service conditions
• 150 psi steam pressure rating suitable for low-pressure steam lines
• Class 150 fitting conforming to standard malleable iron pipe fitting classifications
• Reduces 1/2-inch female NPT to 1/8-inch male NPT in a single fitting

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for standard 1/2-inch to 1/8-inch NPT threaded malleable iron pipe systems in plumbing, HVAC, and gas distribution applications.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber, pipefitter, or HVAC technician in accordance with applicable codes including the IPC and IFGC. Shut off and depressurize the line completely before disassembly or installation. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to male threads before assembly. Do not overtighten, as malleable iron threads can be damaged by excessive torque.
