Value Collection G-BUS0502 Malleable Iron Pipe Bushing

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION G-BUS0502 is a malleable iron pipe bushing designed to reduce a 1/2-inch female fitting down to a 1/4-inch male thread. The galvanized finish provides corrosion resistance for use in plumbing, HVAC, and gas distribution systems. Rated at 300 psi for liquid and gas service and 150 psi for steam, this Class 150 bushing meets the pressure demands of most residential and light commercial piping installations. Plumbers, pipefitters, and HVAC technicians use threaded bushings like this to adapt between pipe sizes without adding unnecessary fittings to a run.

This bushing is suitable for use in residential and commercial piping systems carrying water, compressed air, natural gas, propane, or steam within its rated pressure limits. It is a common component in HVAC piping, gas distribution manifolds, compressed air systems, and general plumbing roughin work where a concentric size reduction is needed between threaded pipe sections.

Key Features

• Malleable iron construction for strength and thread integrity under pressure
• Galvanized finish for corrosion resistance in wet or outdoor-adjacent environments
• Rated 300 psi for liquid and gas service
• Rated 150 psi for steam service
• Class 150 fitting — compatible with standard Class 150 threaded pipe systems
• Concentric bushing design reduces 1/2-inch female to 1/4-inch male NPT

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard addition for Class 150 malleable iron threaded pipe systems in HVAC, plumbing, and gas distribution applications.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed plumbers, pipefitters, or HVAC technicians following applicable IPC and IFGC code requirements. Shut off and depressurize the pipe system completely before threading in or removing any fitting. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male threads before assembly. Do not overtighten — hand-tight plus a controlled wrench turn is standard practice for threaded malleable iron fittings to avoid cracking the fitting body.
