Value Collection G-BUS1005 Malleable Iron Pipe Bushing

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION G-BUS1005 is a malleable iron pipe bushing designed to reduce a 1-inch female pipe thread to a 1/2-inch male pipe thread. This Class 150 fitting handles liquid and gas service at up to 300 psi and steam service at up to 150 psi. The malleable iron construction provides reliable durability under pressure cycling and thermal expansion typical in industrial and commercial piping systems. Plumbers, pipefitters, and mechanical contractors install this bushing when transitioning between pipe sizes in threaded black iron or galvanized piping assemblies.

This bushing is suited for use in residential and commercial plumbing, gas distribution, compressed air, and low-pressure steam piping applications. It installs in any threaded iron piping system where a 1-inch line must step down to a 1/2-inch branch or outlet connection. The Class 150 rating aligns with standard NPT threaded iron pipe fittings used across a wide range of mechanical and utility piping configurations.

• UNSPSC Code: 40175300

Compatibility

Designed as a standard Class 150 NPT threaded malleable iron bushing for use in threaded iron piping systems handling liquid, gas, or low-pressure steam service.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed plumbers or pipefitters following applicable IPC and IFGC requirements. Shut off and depressurize the piping system fully before removing or installing any threaded fitting. Apply an appropriate pipe thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male threads before engagement. Do not over-tighten; use a pipe wrench with proper backing to avoid stressing adjacent fittings or pipe runs.
