Value Collection G-BUS1205 Pipe Bushing 1-1/4 X 1/2 in

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION G-BUS1205 is a malleable iron pipe bushing used to reduce a 1-1/4 inch female threaded port down to a 1/2 inch male threaded connection. Rated at 300 psi for liquid and gas service and 150 psi for steam, this Class 150 fitting meets standard pressure requirements for a wide range of plumbing, HVAC, and industrial piping applications. The galvanized finish provides corrosion resistance in both wet and dry environments. Plumbers, pipefitters, and HVAC technicians install this bushing when transitioning between pipe sizes within a threaded iron piping system.

This bushing is suited for residential and light commercial piping systems carrying water, gas, air, or steam. It is commonly used in supply lines, mechanical rooms, boiler piping, and gas distribution headers where a threaded size reduction is needed without adding a coupling and nipple combination. The malleable iron construction handles moderate vibration and thermal cycling better than cast iron, making it appropriate for systems that see regular pressure fluctuation or temperature variation.

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 resists impact and vibration better than cast iron
• Galvanized finish for corrosion resistance in wet or humid environments
• 1-1/4 inch female NPT to 1/2 inch male NPT configuration for common pipe reduction work

Compatibility

Designed as a standard Class 150 malleable iron threaded bushing compatible with NPT-threaded iron and steel pipe fittings in liquid, gas, and steam service applications.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter following applicable IPC or IFGC code requirements for the service type. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male threads before assembly. Hand-tighten first, then wrench-tighten to a snug fit without over-torquing, as excess force can crack malleable iron fittings. Shut off and depressurize the line completely before installing or removing any threaded fitting.
