Value Collection G-BUS2015 Malleable Iron Pipe Bushing

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION G-BUS2015 is a malleable iron threaded pipe bushing designed to reduce a 2-inch female threaded port down to a 1-1/2-inch male threaded connection. Rated for 300 psi on liquid and gas service and 150 psi on steam, this Class 150 fitting carries a galvanized finish that resists corrosion in exposed or damp installations. Plumbers, pipefitters, and mechanical contractors use hex bushings like this one to adapt pipe diameters within a run without cutting into the main line. The malleable iron construction provides the ductility needed to handle vibration and minor mechanical stress that would crack cast iron fittings.

This bushing is suited for residential and light commercial piping systems carrying water, gas, steam, or compatible process liquids within its rated pressures. Typical install scenarios include boiler supply and return piping, natural gas distribution headers, compressed air drops, and general plumbing rough-in work where a threaded size reduction is needed inline or at a valve, gauge, or appliance connection point. The galvanized finish makes it appropriate for above-ground installations where bare iron would be exposed to moisture.

Key Features

• Malleable iron construction provides ductility and impact resistance in mechanical piping systems
• Galvanized finish for corrosion resistance in damp or exposed environments
• 300 psi liquid and gas pressure rating for demanding service conditions
• 150 psi steam pressure rating suitable for low-pressure steam heating systems
• Class 150 fitting consistent with standard threaded pipe system design
• Threaded hex bushing design enables tool engagement for proper torque without slipping

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation component for standard NPT threaded malleable iron pipe systems requiring a 2-inch to 1-1/2-inch diameter reduction.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable local mechanical and plumbing codes, including IPC and IFGC requirements for threaded pipe joints. Shut off and depressurize the line completely before disassembling or modifying any threaded connection. Apply an appropriate pipe thread sealant or PTFE tape rated for the service medium before threading the bushing into the fitting. Do not over-tighten; use a pipe wrench on the hex to achieve a leak-free joint without damaging the threads.
