Value Collection G241 65X40 Malleable Iron Pipe Bushing

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION G241 65X40 is a malleable iron threaded pipe bushing designed to reduce a 2-1/2 inch female threaded port down to a 1-1/2 inch male threaded connection. Built to Class 150 standards, it carries a 300 psi pressure rating for liquid and gas service as well as a 300 psi steam pressure rating, making it suitable for demanding piping systems. The galvanized finish provides corrosion resistance in wet or humid environments. Plumbers, pipefitters, and mechanical contractors install this fitting as a standard reducing component in threaded pipe assemblies.

This bushing is used in residential and commercial piping installations where a concentric reduction between two NPT-threaded pipe sizes is required. Typical applications include water supply lines, gas distribution piping, steam systems, and industrial process lines. Its malleable iron construction and galvanized coating make it appropriate for both interior and exposed mechanical room installations where moderate to heavy service conditions are expected.

Key Features

• Reduces 2-1/2 inch female NPT to 1-1/2 inch male NPT in a single fitting
• 300 psi liquid and gas pressure rating for reliable service in pressurized systems
• 300 psi steam pressure rating supports steam distribution applications
• Galvanized finish adds corrosion resistance for wet and humid environments
• Class 150 malleable iron construction meets FM Approved, ISO 7/1, and cULus Listed standards

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for standard Class 150 malleable iron threaded pipe systems using NPT connections.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable codes such as the IPC or IFGC. 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 to ensure a leak-free joint. Do not over-tighten, as malleable iron threads can crack under excessive torque.
