Value Collection G-BUS1510 Malleable Iron Pipe Bushing

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION G-BUS1510 is a malleable iron pipe bushing designed to reduce a 1-1/2 inch female pipe thread to a 1 inch male pipe thread. This Class 150 fitting is galvanized for corrosion resistance and rated for 300 psi on liquid and gas service and 150 psi on steam service. It is used in threaded pipe assemblies across plumbing, HVAC, and industrial piping systems where a concentric reduction is needed at a joint. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this type of fitting as part of standard threaded iron pipe work.

This bushing fits into any standard 1-1/2 inch NPT female threaded connection and accepts a 1 inch NPT male threaded pipe or fitting on the opposite end. It is suited for residential and light commercial applications involving water, gas, air, and low-pressure steam distribution. The galvanized finish makes it appropriate for exposed or mildly corrosive environments where bare iron would be unsuitable.

Key Features

• Malleable iron construction provides strength and resistance to impact in threaded pipe assemblies
• Galvanized finish adds corrosion protection for wet or outdoor-adjacent installations
• 300 psi liquid and gas pressure rating suits a wide range of service conditions
• 150 psi steam pressure rating supports low-pressure steam piping
• Class 150 designation meets standard threaded pipe fitting specifications
• Concentric bushing design for inline thread reduction without offset

Compatibility

Designed as a standard Class 150 malleable iron bushing for use in 1-1/2 inch to 1 inch NPT threaded pipe systems handling liquid, gas, or low-pressure steam.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter using standard pipe wrenches and thread sealant or PTFE tape applied to the male threads. Shut off and depressurize the pipe system fully before removing or installing any threaded fitting. Consult applicable plumbing and mechanical codes, including IPC and IFGC where relevant, for approved sealant types and pressure-test requirements. Do not overtighten malleable iron fittings, as the material can crack under excessive torque.
