Value Collection G-BUS0705 Malleable Iron Pipe Bushing

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION G-BUS0705 is a malleable iron pipe bushing used to reduce a 3/4 inch female threaded port down to a 1/2 inch male threaded connection. It carries a Class 150 designation and is rated for 300 psi on liquid and gas service and 150 psi on steam service. The galvanized finish provides corrosion resistance in exposed or moderately harsh environments. Plumbers, pipefitters, and mechanical contractors install this bushing when reducing pipe sizes within threaded iron piping systems on both new construction and retrofit work.

This bushing is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing, HVAC piping, compressed air, and gas distribution systems where threaded malleable iron fittings are the specified connection method. The 3/4 x 1/2 inch size is a common reduction in branch lines, equipment connections, and service piping where flow capacity needs to be stepped down. The galvanized coating makes it appropriate for installations where bare iron fittings are not acceptable.

Key Features

• 300 psi liquid and gas pressure rating for demanding service conditions
• 150 psi steam pressure rating suitable for low-pressure steam systems
• Class 150 malleable iron construction for reliable threaded joint integrity
• Galvanized finish for added corrosion resistance
• 3/4 inch female to 1/2 inch male threaded reduction in a single fitting
• UNSPSC code 40175300 for procurement and catalog alignment

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for standard NPT threaded malleable iron piping systems rated at Class 150.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed plumbers or pipefitters following applicable IPC or IFGC code requirements for threaded iron pipe assemblies. Shut off and depressurize the line fully before removing or installing any threaded fitting. Apply an approved thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male threads before assembly. Do not over-torque the fitting, as malleable iron threads can crack under excessive force.
